Raiden Takes the Stage in Injustice 2 – Download Today

Your time has come again, Mortal Kombat players. For all the fighters who have been waiting patiently for Raiden’s arrival, wait no longer; the God of Thunder has arrived in Injustice 2.

Once again, NetherRealm Studios has delivered another character with a ridiculously dynamic set of abilities. Even though many of Raiden’s moves are similar to what they were in Mortal Kombat X, they’ve been upgraded. Moreover, you can customize him like never before. Mother Boxes drop new gear for every character in the roster, and the same is true of DLC characters. This does not apply to their premier skins, however.

Speaking of premier skins, Raiden comes with a completely new character. By incorporating the lightning skills of the God of Thunder, NetherRealm has introduced another DC hero in the form of Black Lightning. Hence, if you’re enraged over the inclusion of a Mortal Kombat character in a DC game, there’s your silver lining.

Anyone who has purchased  Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition, Injustice 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, Injustice 2 Ultimate Pack or Fighter Pack #2 can download Raiden today. For everyone else, he will be purchasable in the game on October 6th. And now that he’s arrived, we have but to wait for an official announcement on Hellboy’s arrival date. Stay tuned for updates as time goes by.

Developed by the award-winning NetherRealm Studios, Injustice 2 features a massive roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains and allows players to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters. The game is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with DLC characters Red Hood, Sub-Zero, Starfire and Black Manta available now.
