There is a rumor going around the internet that the upcoming Injustice 2 will feature the evil Darkseid as one of its playable characters. This rumor is not without its basis. Apparently, there was a pre-order information that revealed this fact. It is not certain whether the information was accidentally divulged or not.
A Pre-Order Screen Shot For Injustice 2 Sparked The Rumor
Apparently a PlayStation pre-order screen indicated that Injustice 2 will have Darkseid as a pre-order bonus character. But later, the announcement was pulled out and was replaced by something else. The new and re-uploaded announcement no longer mentions Darkseid in any manner, shape or form.
The evil Darkseid is one of DC's biggest badass villains. However, he is not included in the original Injustice 2 cast of characters. His inclusion in the video game has been rumored and many believe that he will soon be added to the video game's roster albeit as a pre-order bonus. This pulled-out pre-order screen may be an indication of that.
The Pre-Order Ad Mentioned The Name Of Darkseid
But before the original pre-order screen was taken down, its screenshot was shared on the NeoGAF website. The screen capture clearly indicates that Darkseid is offered as a playable character of the upcoming Injustice 2. It even mentions the pre-order price of the video game as $59.99. A description of Darkseid is also included in the pre-order announcement screenshot.
In the DC comics, Darkseid is portrayed as a very powerful creature that even Superman cannot overcome. He is so powerful that it takes a number of Justice League members such as the Green Lantern, Batman and Superman to defeat him. Such a powerful enemy will provide Injustice 2 a very exciting gameplay.
A Big Announcement Is Set This Week
At any rate, NetherRealm Studios, the developer and publisher of Injustice 2 will have a big announcement about the video game on Jan. 17, 2017. Some have speculated that the announcement about the inclusion of Darkseid is being suppressed now in view of that future announcement. The video game is also scheduled for launch on mobile platforms, Xbox One and PS 4 on May 16, 2017.
