Ed Boon Leaks Wonder Woman’s Inclusion In Injustice 2

In a recent interview, Ed Boon, the co-creator of NetherRealm Studios, let it slip that Wonder Woman will be piloting her invisible jet into the recently leaked Injustice 2.

“On my way to NetherRealm Studios!”

During a talk with Game Informer about possible DLC costumes that tied into the number of superhero movies that have been coming out recently, Boon stated,  “I think it would be a missed opportunity if we didn’t do like a Wonder Woman movie skin or something like that.”

Along with Wonder Woman, a Justice League movie is already in the works, so we could possibly see other kinds of DLC costumes that are companions to the characters’ Hollywood counterparts. 

The rest of the interview includes an interesting discussion of Injustice 2’s “gear system”. Gear are pieces of random equipment which drop for players and provide enchantments for the character’s which they apply to.

Including character altering items in fighting games is a tricky subject in the Fighting Game Community. Street Fighter X Tekken’s gem system left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths, and it will be interesting how players react to Injustice 2’s “gear”.
