The WWE superstar group
The New Day are huge gamer enthusiasts as evidenced by their popular YouTube gaming channe/showl,
Up Up Down Down (if you recall, we previously featured an episode of the show that revealed
the Big Show is a major Destiny fan) . Recently, the group took a trip to NetherRealm studios where they had a quick chat with Ed Boone about the studio's history.
When they got a chance to go hands on with
Injustice 2, Boone allowed them to reveal that the
DC Comics superhero Firestorm (who currently appears on
Legends of Tomorrow) would be a playable character in the game.
Check out this gameplay footage and reveal in the video below.

Ed Boon previously teased that Injustice 2 would have the largest cast on any previous NetherRealm release to date.
Injustice 2 is scheduled for release on May 16, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with Standard, Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Additions available for purchase. Beginning April 11, a digital comic book series will be released each week, written by Tom Taylor, which will serve as a prequel to the game's starting point.
As Batman and his Insurgency seek to capture the remaining members of Superman's Regime, Braniac arrives with a corrupted Supergirl to destroy the Earth. Complicating matters further is the rise of The Society, a secret group of supervillains with their own agenda for the planet.
