Following the release of "Injustice: Gods Among Us," fans have already been talking about the possible sequel to the game. The fighting video game based on the fictional universe of DC Comics was well-received the moment it hit the shelves. Now with the confirmation of "Injustice 2" at the ongoing E3 event, players will now have something to look forward to.

The announcement from game developer NetherRealm Studios and game publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment during E3 made worldwide fans more excited about the second installment.

According to reports, the sequel will certainly be better than the current game as it promises to add more characters to the game. What's interesting is that people have already started to make the second installment of the game a hot topic even before the current title came out. The introduction of these comic superheroes to the mainstream video game world has been perfectly planned by both the game developer and publisher. According to David Haddad, the President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the company's main goal is to make sure they give fans the best gaming experience possible by expanding the game.

"Expanding the DC Universe in games continues to be one of our top priorities, and Injustice 2 showcases incredible gameplay and an original story to bring the characters to life for players," says Haddad in a report by FragHero. "NetherRealm Studios is offering fans an experience of customizing and battling with DC's iconic characters in an entirely new way."

The announcement of the second installment at E3 confirms the previous rumors that a sequel will arrive in 2017. Although the company has yet to provide the specifics of the release date, they are said to be aiming for a March 2017 window.

As of the moment, there are no available details regarding the game itself. However, many fans expect gameplay and storyline changes.
