NetherRealm Studios has delivered the radical news that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be added to Injustice 2 later this month.
Injustice 2 owners who also purchased the Ultimate Edition or Fighter Pack #3 will be able to download the Turtles on February 13. Everyone else will be able to purchase them as a standalone download on February 20 for $9.99. Why the higher price? Well, as expected, players will be able to choose which Turtle they take into battle by equipping different pieces of Gear before the fight. So you’re technically getting four new characters for the price of one.
Each Turtle will be able to use their signature weapon (katanas for Leonardo, a bo staff for Donatello, nunchuks for Michelangelo, and sai for Raphael), but all four characters will also have unique move sets, character powers, and special moves. In online modes where specific Gear loadouts aren’t available, players will be able to pick the Turtle they wish to use from the character select screen.
Each character’s unique attack style is on full display in the new Injustice 2 trailer that was released earlier this morning. As you might have guessed, Raphael gets up close and personal with his sai, Donatello attacks from a distance with his bo, Michelangelo pulls out his skateboard for extra damage, and Leonardo is the most agile of the four.
NetherRealm will offer a closer look at the Turtles during the next Watchtower stream on their Twitch channel. Be sure to tune in today at 4:00 PM (Eastern Time).
And be on the lookout for a bodacious Mortal Kombat reference at the end of the trailer.
