While we caught our first in-game glimpse of him via a pre-match intro compilation, we now finally get to see Injustice 2 pre-order character Darkseid in action, as his official gameplay trailer was released during tonight’s special stream from Los Angeles.
After confirming his status as a God with Brainiac, Darkseid–who is unsurprisingly a Power character–unleashes a teleport, a command grab, and a variety of Omega Beams to assault his foes from all angles of the screen. He can also call forth one of his Parademons to unleash tandem attacks and supplement his zoning, in a manner eerily similar to summoner Quan Chi’s bat, or Atrocitus’s Red Lantern cat Dex-Starr. We also get another look at his super, in which he fires a seemingly player-controlled Omega Beam that leads into the full animation if it connects.
Submit to his rule by watching the video below, and check back tomorrow when the final character of the base roster–The Joker, according to leaked achievements and footage–is offically revealed.
Injustice 2 releases for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 16th.
