In a short interview with Nowgamer, Netherrealm Studios Senior Producer Adam Urbano reveals that the company’s upcoming game, Injustice, will feature more content that 2011′s Mortal Kombat (which had a massive story mode and quite a lot of content).

From the article: “On one end of the spectrum,” said Urbano in an interview with NowGamer, “we learned what works, and on the other, what not to mess with.”

“We’re retaining a lot of the key features like the amazing 3D graphics set on a 2D fighting plane, the need for tournament-level depth, and the success of having a ton of content available for players of all experience levels.”

Urbano then added, “We’re planning to have more content in Injustice than we had in MK9.”

Urbano then tackled one of the most important aspect of this generations’ fighting games: The netcode: ”We also spent two years focused on netplay, realizing that nothing matters more for network play than launching with solid, great fundamental netcode.”

this sure sounds very promising.Are you excited for Injustice ?
