Summary
After being announced for one of the biggest fighting game franchises, John Cena’s popular Peacemaker character is also now headed toInjustice 2on mobile. While it may not be as big of a development asPeacemaker coming toMortal Kombat 1, fans of the antihero will be thrilled to have another game in which they can play as him.
Injustice 2, released back in 2017, has been the latest entry in the popular DC Comics fighting game franchise for quite a while now. Although developer NetherRealm Studios is far busier with its arguably more belovedMortal Kombatuniverse, theInjusticeseries is still a fun way to play as DC heroes and villains, and the mobile version is an easy-to-pick-up yet extremely challenging portable fighter.
Now available to unlock worldwide, Peacemaker joins the Flawed Justice team along with the movie versions of Black Adam and Hawkman, and his teammates improve his power when they’re all deployed together. As long as they’re all fighting together in a match, Peacemaker builds up Peace Stacks for every five seconds he’s tagged in, which gives him and his teammates certain buffs—making him a prettystrongInjustice 2character.
Meanwhile, NetherRealm releasing beloved characters for the long-runningInjustice 2has been a nice strategy to keep the game alive. It seems the possibilities for anewInjusticegame keep getting slimmerthe more the studio does well in this current era ofMortal Kombat,and fans may have to accept that a new entry will take longer. It also likely doesn’t help that parent company Warner Bros. is in so much flux on the business side.
Meanwhile, as the worldwaits forInjustice 3, NetherRealm (and the fans) seem to be happy adding live adaptation versions of heroes and villains to bothInjustice 2andMortal Kombat 1with each new DC title that comes out, and it’s probably safe to expect more of this in the exciting James Gunn era of the company. It’s one edge that DC has over Marvel, and it may be enough to tide loyalists over until the time finally comes for the next game.
