Injustice 2 was one of 2017’s most pleasant gaming surprises. Sure, the follow-up to Injustice: Gods Among Us was expected to be good, but few thought it would end up being one of the best, most-innovative fighting games in years. Even if you’re not usually into NetherRealm’s fighters, Injustice 2 is worth a shot, and soon you’ll be able to try out the game, completely risk free!

　　Injustice 2 will be offering up a limited-time free trial this week on Xbox One and PS4 (sorry PC players). You can check out a trailer, and rundown of what’s included, below.

　　“Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today have announced a free trial for NetherRealm Studios’ critically-acclaimed fighting game Injustice2. Players will get a chance to experience every facet of the game, including Chapters 1 through 3 of the game’s immersive Story Mode, all multiplayer and online modes, and the full roster of the game’s base characters, with the exception of Brainiac. In addition, players will have the opportunity to try select DLC characters in the single player Multiverse mode. And, just in time for Christmas, Injustice 2 will also be discounted during the Free Trial period at participating retailers.”

　　Warner Bros. Interactive hasn’t indicated exactly which “select” DLC characters we’ll get to play as (so far, Red Hood, Starfire, Sub-Zero, Black Manta, Hellboy, Raiden, and Atom have been released). I suppose we won’t know until the trial hits tomorrow. While you’re waiting, you can check out Dave Aubrey’s very positive Injustice 2 review:

　　“Injustice 2 is surprisingly fantastic. Combat feels very weighty and satisfying, the graphics look incredible, characters look fascinatingly detailed and even the bass-heavy sound design is top notch. DC and fighter fans should definitely be giving Injustice 2 time.”

　　The Injustice 2 free trial runs from December 14 until December 18.  Will you be giving this superhero showdown a shot?
