Injustice: Gods Among Us Mobile Launches New Content Update

Posted on by

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have launched a massive content update to Injustice: Gods Among Us, the wildly popular mobile game brawler featuring iconic DC Comics Super Heroes and Super-Villains. The update is the largest to hit the game in well over a year and features seven new playable characters, including those from the critically-acclaimed Batman: Arkham video game trilogy from Rocksteady Studios and The CW/Warner Bros. Television series The Flash; a brand new Survivor Mode and Gear Sets that enable characters to unlock powerful bonus effects; and brand new challenges!  The update is available now for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and will be available soon for Android devices.

In the newly introduced Survivor Mode, even the most experienced player’s skills will be put to the test. Players will choose a team from the huge roster of characters including several brand new additions, such as The Flash and Reverse Flash from the hit show on The CW and Batman and Harley Quinn as they appear in Batman: Arkham Knight, and fight through as many battles as possible for powerful rewards. Not only are these battles fierce, but characters will have almost no health regeneration between matches, and will be fighting against the clock with a shorter match time. After each battle, players can choose to cash out for their prizes, or press their luck for the chance to win even greater rewards. This new mode also introduces Gear Sets, wherein players can earn themed sets of Gear for an unrivaled advantage!

And that’s not all, new challenges will also be added, including:

  • Blackest Night Martian Manhunter
  • Red Lantern Hal Jordan
  • Arkham Knight
  • Arkham Knight Harley Quinn
  • Justice League Wonder Woman

The Injustice: Gods Among Us mobile game is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
