‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Gets A Release Date, And A Battle Edition! UPDATE: Sorry Wii U Owners…

Injustice: Gods Among Us, the new DC fighter from the creators of Mortal Kombat, is nearly upon us. Warner Bros. Interactive and DC announced today that the anticipated brawler will hit store shelves on April 16th for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. The game looks decent from everything we’ve seen so far, but then again, so did Mortal Combat Vs. DC Universe… and we all know how that one turned out!

 

Along with the release date, yet another version of the game was revealed. Along with the standard and already announced Collector’s editions, a limited Battle Edition will also be up for grabs.

 

The Battle Edition features everything from the Collector’s Edition (listed below), as well as an exclusive fight stick, so you can absolutely destroy everyone stuck using a standard controller. The newly announced version will retail for $149.99.

 

Collector’s Edition contents:

 

-Exclusive DC Collectibles statue featuring iconic characters Batman and Wonder Woman, the Fortress of Solitude, and the Last Son of Krypton’s escape ship

-Special Collector’s Edition of the Injustice: Gods Among Us comic book

-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

Are you looking forward to this one? Which version are you planning to pick up? How did you feel about Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe?

 

UPDATE: We just received word from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment that today’s press release contained one small error… Wii U owners, sorry to get your hopes up, but the game is only releasing on Sony’s Playstation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Damn.
