Leaping straight out of the Golden Age of DC Comics, NetherRealm Studios have announced that Doctor Fate is coming to Injustice 2. Wearing the magical Helmet of Fate, alongside the cloak and amulet of Nabu the Wise, the sorcerer uses ancient magicks to defeat his opponents.

With his magic manifesting in the shape of giant ankhs, Doctor Fate acts as a zoning character, firing off bolts of magic to keep his opponent away or juggle them in the air. Ermac seems to be his great inspiration, as well as a bit of Shinnok thrown in for good measure. From the trailer, it seems his trait is the ability to summon three ankhs which orbit around Doctor Fate’s body, which can then be fired off all at once to lengthen a juggle or cause the opponent to stand and block these projectiles.

His super is especially cool, drawing the opposing player into the amulet on his chest, where three other armored magicians proceed to conjure up a storm of projectiles to damage the opponent. Expect more magical mayhem when Injustice 2 launches on May 16th.

The button masher’s favorite is back, as Capoeira master Eddy Gordo returns to fight in Tekken 7. Gone are the infamous green and yellow sweatpants, as Eddy’s new look involves wearing some leather trousers and a leopard-print jacket while kicking foes in the face.

Eddy is now part of the Tekken Force in Tekken 7, having pledged his allegiance to the Mishima Zaibatsu to help cure his ailing Capoeira master. The medical technology of the Zaibatsu couldn’t save Eddy’s master, and learning that Kazuya is now the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he is now dead set on destroying Kazuya and finally avenging his father.

Eddy was actually leaked ahead of this announcement at a games convention in Brazil, but only blurry photos of the Brazilian fighter were available from the event. You can now see Eddy in all his glory, via the trailer below. Expect plenty of day 1 Eddy mains spinning up a storm when Tekken 7 launches on June 2nd.
