NetherRealm Studios' award-winning fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us will be free on Xbox next month for those who are Xbox LIVE Gold members. Injustice: Gods Among Us has been out since 2013, but it's never too late to experience this epic fighting game.
Developed by NetherRealm, the same studio behind the Mortal Kombat franchise, Injustice: Gods Among Us pits DC's iconic heroes and villains against one another in an original storyline set in a parallel universe within the DC Comics' Multiverse. With the line between good and evil blurred, players participate in epic battles featuring DC Comics icons such as Batman, The Joker, Green Lantern, The Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Injustice: Gods Among Us has all the polish of yoru standard fighting game but with a surprisingly deep story that was actually written in collaboration with DC Comics' writers. Rather than using a traditional ladder-based single-player experience, NetherRealm followed the same approach they used in the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot. The game utilizes story and cinematic narrative rationalizes the fighting mechanics between characters you'd not normally see fight one another.
Injustice: Gods Among Us will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members from June 16 to June 30. It is one of four games that will be free next month. The others are The King's Bird (June 1-30), Shadows: Awakening (June 16-July 15), and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (June 1-15). Although Inustice: Gods Among Us was released for Xbox 360, you'll be able to play it on Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S.
