Following the success of the first Injustice video game in which it pit DC heroes and villains against each other in an arcade style fighting game, we’re sure many are eager to see what Injustice 2 will be bringing to the table. We will of course be getting a familiar roster of heroes and villains as well as some new ones, but there will be new features added to the game as well.
In the latest trailer released for the game, it explains the new gear system that will be introduced to the game. In the description it reads, “With every clash comes change and the opportunity for evolution. The Gear System brings a new level of depth to the game, allowing players to evolve their play style and achieve their goals. Gear opens up vast possibilities for personalization by enabling combatants of all levels to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters to fit their fighting style.”
Basically in addition to providing new visuals for your characters, there will be elements taken from RPGs in the form of set gear and set bonuses, where the more pieces you own of a particular set, the better the bonuses will be. Exactly how one earns or unlocks these new gears is unclear, but we expect you’ll find out once the game launches on the 16th of May, 2017.
