‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Hits iOS; Killer Frost And Ares Most Likely Playable Characters [UPDATE]

We are only a couple of days away from the release of NetherRealm Studios Injustice: Gods Among Us” and I can’t tell you how excited we here at GNN are. The demo is out already and I have been hearing nothing but good things about it (I don’t plan on playing it since I don’t wanna spoil it for myself). Anyway, NetherRealm Studios is happy to announce an iOS version of the game that actually will unlock content for the main game and is available to download right now! Below you can read the press release, feast on some screen shots and a video overview courtesy of IGN.

Press Release:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have announced that the Injustice: Gods Among game for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch is now available on the App Store. Developed from the ground up by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, this free-to-play mobile game delivers stunning graphics and a completely unique fighting gameplay experience created especially for Apple devices.

The full console version will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, and the Wii U™ system from Nintendo beginning April 16th.

The Injustice: Gods Among Us mobile game features a collectible card mechanic and engages players in 3-on-3 tag team combat that pits many of DC Comics’ most popular icons such as Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and more against one another.

Another interesting tidbit was a Warner Bros. employee, Brandon Alexander, tweeted (and took within minutes) out a screenshot of the selection screen. However, from the looks of it, Ares and Killer Frost will both be playable characters in the game. Check out the screenshot below:
