NetherRealm Studios’ First Injustice Watchtower Live Streams Next Tuesday; Exclusive Character Gameplay Reveal to Come

It’s been a huge week for Injustice 2 fans. After revealing the title’s release date, we were treated to a new story trailer and in-game screenshots confirming new challengers Robin and Brainiac, the returns of the Flash and Green Lantern, and teases of Bane and Poison Ivy–and on top of it all, the ominous Darkseid revealed as pre-order bonus DLC for the title.

Now it seems NRS is going to be providing us with another large shot of information fairly soon, as when the story trailer was uploaded to the official InjusticeGame YouTube Channel, it came with a special annotation that read, “Next Tuesday Jan. 24th, watch an exclusive character gameplay reveal on the Injustice Watchtower Livestream! https://www.twitch.tv/netherrealm.” No start time has been yet announced.

During the pre-release of Mortal Kombat X, and continuing whenever a DLC character would be revealed, the developers would host a “Kombat Kast” showcasing gameplay and balance patch changes. This will likely be in a similar vein to those streams. Perhaps we’ll get our first glimpse at Darkseid or Deadshot, who has not had any full gameplay shown since his reveal… Regardless, it’s sure to be a fun show, so don’t forget to tune in! You can see the trailer with the annotation below.
