NeatherRealms has announced that UK fans will be getting their very own special editions of the upcoming fighter, Injustice: Gods Among Us. In keeping with Superman's dictatorial role in the game, the studio is offering up DLC inspired by the "Red Son" comic, which sees a Superman who landed in Soviet Russia, and goes on to eventually lead the Communist regime against the Luthor-led United States.
The DLC includes "Red Son" styled costumes for Wonder Woman, Superman, and Solomon Grunday, which is odd, as Grundy wasn't featured in the comic. In addition, there will also be 20 additional missions set in the Red Son storyline, as well as an exclusive steelbook.
I can only hope this means we'll see some Red Son get ups for some of the other brawlers, like Green Lantern and Batman.
Fans can grab the special edition on Apr. 19.
Not to be outdone, there's still the Collector's Edition for Injustice, offering:
- Special Collector's Edition of a brand new DC Comics series
- Digital download of DC Universe animated film "Justice League: Doom"
- Three exclusive skins based on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman from DC COMICS - THE NEW 52
But the real highlight of the Collector's edition is the statue, which shows a lass of truth strangled Batman, about to be bashed with a spaceship courtesy of Wonder Woman.
Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale.
Already revealed are longtime DC characters Lex Luthor, Bane, Deathstroke, Batman, Superman, the Flash, Cyborg, Nightwing, Wonder Woman, the Joker, Green Arrow, Green Lanten, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Solomon Grundy, but there's still more on the way.
According to the game's presentation at this year's EVO, there will be at least 24 playable characters and 15 arenas. Boon does plan on introducing a few characters you might not expect. "With Mortal Kombat, we brought in crazy guests like Freddy Krueger. So we'll definitely want to introduce unexpected characters [via DLC] to Injustice. That'll be our strategy. It's comparable to Mortal Kombat, but being really aggressive with our DLC characters."
Injustice: Gods Among Us is set to release this April for PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360.
