Mortal Kombat favourite Scorpion coming to Injustice as DLC

Update: Warner Bros. has confirmed that the Scorpion DLC for Injustice will be released on June 11.

Original story: DC Comics brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us will be getting new DLC in the form of Mortal Kombat poster boy Scorpion, Warner Bros. has announced.

NetherRealm, who developed Injustice alongside the most recent Mortal Kombat, has employed iconic comic artist Jim Lee to create the Injustice interpretation of the character.

No firm release date was given for the DLC, but Scorpion will be released for $4.99/£3.99 on PlayStation Network and 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360. Warner Bros said earlier in the year that Injustice DLC would be released on the Wii U in the summer.

Scorpion is a resurrected ninja and has appeared in every main Mortal Kombat game since the series' inception in 1992. He has also fought against DC Comics characters before in 2008's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Injustice: Gods Among Us was released earlier this year, and received a score of 7.0 in its GameSpot review. Scorpion follows Batgirl and Lobo as DLC characters for the game.
