Injustice: Gods Among Us adding Scorpion next week

Scorpion will be available for Injustice: Gods Among us next week, and NetherRealm plans on taking the wraps off the final Season Pass character then too.

If you need a break from E3 next week, you can always throw down as an undead ninja in Injustice: Gods Among Us. NetherRealm confirmed today that Scorpion will be available next week, on June 11. He's included as part of the Season Pass, but he'll also be for sale individually for $4.99.

That date will also see a second Red Son pack with a new Batman costume. The fourth and final character of the Season Pass hasn't been announced, but Ed Boon tweeted that it will be revealed next week on "a TV show." All signs point to General Zod, as the leak has been reliable so far.

Boon has also hinted at additional DLC characters from fan requests. Given that Martian Manhunter has been heavily requested, and even appeared briefly at the end of the Scorpion trailer, that's a safe bet for one of them.

      Sorry, but who cares. Did DC run out of heroes and villains. WTF is Scorpion doing in this?

        Scorpion is a cool dude. What's the problem?

          The issue with me is that they created a pretty cool fighting game that obviously had mechanical roots in Mortal Kombat, but still felt like a great starting point for it's own franchise.

          By adding Scorpion it just rubs me the wrong way that they aren't going in a different direction but will continually tie DC and MK with these fighting games.

          It would have been cool if it just standed on it's own.

            Adding Scorpion in this, is like when they added Freddy in the last Mortal Kombat.

            (But I think they should have added him last)

      Season pass holders got Scorpion this past Tuesday.

      He's fairly fun to play as, but like Sephiras, his inclusion rubs me the wrong way. DC has no shortage of characters, so adding an MK character feels like its stealing a slot from someone else. On the other hand, at least its not another bat-character, which the game already (IMO) has too many of.
