The first half of 2017. RIP My wallet.

 

[bigboss370]

oh fuck, another game on the gigantic list of games I need to get this year...heck the first half of the year

 

[GravityInsanity]

I wish there was a possibility of these 2 showing up.

 

[fluffydelusions]

So many games...Tekken is supposed to be early this year too right?

 

[DrDogg]

It'll be out, but will Mr. Wizard put it in the lineup?

Given the fact that other WB titles were announced for Evo before they released, I think it's safe to say Injustice 2 is confirmed for Evo.

Tekken 7 has been there the last two years and it's barely playable in the US. Either way, we'll find out very soon.

So many games...Tekken is supposed to be early this year too right?

First quarter... so before the end of March. Namco is supposed to announce the official release date sometime this month.

 

[shawnoftheshred]

Expected April, but mostly just happy it's out pre-Evo as I'd love to see some top quality matches right away. Hope the suggestion that we're looking at a weekly reveal schedule until release is accurate (and that we start with goddamn Swamp Thing!). Those Kombat Kasts were really fun.

They said "Early 2017", could be the first quarter... or the second.

Early 2017 has the been the oft repeated bracket for release. We'll most likely get a release date this month.

 

[Salty Rice]

Fuck yeah we have finally a date and its only 1 month delayed than the usual april.

Reason could have been VA strike or just more polish of the game and the Gear system.

Hype as fuck for the incoming character and story reveals in the coming weeks.

 

[FiggyCal]

Is that a well drawn NRS female character?

 

[Neoxon]

It'll be out, but will Mr. Wizard put it in the lineup?

Considering that it'll be out over a month before EVO & the fact that MKX is on its last legs competitively, Injustice 2 will be at EVO 2017.

 

[sackninja]

Is this from the game?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Anyone have a link on how much the first game sold?

 

[delSai]

Is this from the game?

Yes

 

[LordOfLore]

Is this from the game?

Yep.

 

[Archtreyz]

I doubt it jives with DC/Warner.

The only comics crossovers we got recently were Green Lantern/Star Trek and Batman/TMNT.

Sure, but there's always their Vertigo line that they can pull from. Watchmen characters would be pretty neat.

 

[fluffydelusions]

For steam at least 894k give or take
http://steamspy.com/app/242700

No idea about other platforms

 

[Xater]

Sure, but there's always their Vertigo line that they can pull from. Watchmen characters would be pretty neat.

Due to recent developments Watchmen is now part of the DCU, so they are not even crossover characters.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Middle of the year? Come on.

 

[LAM09]

I presume Tekken will either be out in April or the end of the year. Should know in a few weeks.

 

[Skilletor]

Sure, but there's always their Vertigo line that they can pull from. Watchmen characters would be pretty neat.

I would do horrible things to get Death or Dream in this game.

 

[robotrock]

Are you saying Watchmen is in the same universe as man of steel and batman vs superman

 

[RedHill]

Are you saying Watchmen is in the same universe as man of steel and batman vs superman

DCU is comic continuity

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Somebody through up Nirolak symbol

 

[Femto.]

Will there be an online mode without the gear upgrades?

If not, count me out man.

 

[lucebuce12]

If not, count me out man.

"We're creating modes where it's an even playing field and you can gear up for aesthetic reasons but your character stats are on an even plane. We also have modes where gear actually impacts your strength, which is a whole new level of strategy."

 

[Zetta]

If not, count me out man.

The gear online will just play for looks and will not have any stat increases.

 

[Femto.]

Thank goodness, I remember back in e3 Ed or someone from NR said there wouldn't be such a mode.

Legit hyped now.

Even better!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Sure, but there's always their Vertigo line that they can pull from. Watchmen characters would be pretty neat.

All of the important Vertigo characters are now in the DC universe. The only ones left are Sandman and Death but that will never happen.

 

[J_Viper]

That means I'll wait till Injustice 2 XL Edition in May 16, 2018

The game looks great though, I'll find a way to rent and play through the story

 

[cordy]

Probably March-April. Makes sense especially given Japan's financial year ends in March.

 

[Irishmantis]

Nice

Take your time NRS

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Damn, hype!

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

Exciting times

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Death has been in the DC Universe. Lex Luthor encountered her before New 52 happened.

 

[Galactic Specter]

Waiting for Plastic Man

 

[BiggNife]

Death has been in the DC Universe. Lex Luthor encountered her before New 52 happened.

Yeah but that comic only came out because Gaiman signed off on it (and I've heard people say he ghostwrote most of it but I don't think that was ever confirmed)

I think DC knows Gaiman would stop working with them if they fucked around too much with his characters (like they did with Alan Moore) so I really don't think they'd ever greenlight any of The Endless as playable characters in a video game.

 

[Ryce]

It's official, in case anyone still thought Boon might have been referring to something else.

[Razgriz-Specter]

I look forward to a steady stream of character announcements coming hard and fast.

Spoiler

Or Boon can troll us and we find out all the characters on launch day.

First up!

 

[AAK]

Looks like I got trolled with expecting a KP3.

 

[TDLink]

Ah yes, after over 4 months of no new news, let's drop the release date as a number only image on twitter with no fanfare or even a trailer featuring already revealed content.

The marketing for this game is so annoying.

 

[HelloNewman]

About time my most hyped game of the year I bought an Xbox one just for it.

 

[Boke1879]

We'll get reveals in due time in which we'll be showered with news. I actually like the fact that the release date was dropped on a random ass Friday.

 

[Compbros]

Considering that it'll be out over a month before EVO & the fact that MKX is on its last legs competitively, Injustice 2 will be at EVO 2017.

I'm currently at KiT and can say that that's not true.

 

[zackmorris]

Marketing cycles are pretty short these days.

We have a brand new console releasing in two months that isn't unveiled yet, and only one of its games is.

The switch? I thought they showed off a decent amount of games in that teaser.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Surely an Evo main stage game this year

 

[Irishmantis]

I'm currently at KiT and can say that that's not true.

Wait a second.....

I just realised who you where lol
Cassie player right?

 

[Finaika]

The hyenas look so happy

 

[Realeza]

Uhh not really. Everything looked like prototype levels, other than Skyrim.
