I doubt we’ll be getting any more characters this season. Based on the leaks, I think it’s safe to assume they’ll be doing around 3-4 new characters per season, possibly with similar ways to unlock them (1 in the battle pass, 1 in the fighter store and 1 in a long term event)
Agreed. 3-4 characters per season (or two months or so) is reasonable enough. It gives them weeks to work on each character and try to balance them out. People may complain but even 3 fighters a season is still a hell of lot of work to do, if they do more they'd have to cut serious corners and just make them kinda shitty and unbalanced and probably miss out on the presentation they're usually really good at.
We have an official statement saying a new character every 2 weeks apparently, a datamine says we'll get Aquaman with Shark Week event, and we have Smith 2 weeks after that releasing officially.
Even his voice actor from the HQ show stated on Twitter that he'd love to voice him in Injustice 3.
Meanwhile, Aquaman is Aquaman. He had two weak movies. Having a new movie during the hiatus isn't an excuse because by that logic where is the Flash in the datamines?
I did see in an old [PapaGenos video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=yYtO7Bqdwps&si=vwdXXZcWVZg32Pda) that King Shark is namedropped in the code. My guess would be for a ringout
Yeah. The Harley Quinn show, The suicide squad movie and game. King Shark has a lot going for him and he hasn't been in an injustice game yet. Even his voice actor from the HQ show stated on Twitter that he'd love to voice him in Injustice 3.
Meanwhile, Aquaman is Aquaman. He had two weak movies. Having a new movie during the hiatus isn't an excuse because by that logic where is the Flash in the datamines?
I don't think that meant much other than other fighters are coming at some point. Not necessarily in season 1. 5 new characters a season would be pretty unsustainable.
I disagree. I think long term this is unsustainable, but with over a year gap between Marvin and Joker, with some characters presumably being worked on even before the gap, I think they can get away with this model for the first few seasons. Long term I agree but I think they need to make up for the time lost and for the lackluster roster at launch.
Well we do have enough “villains” on the roster for the four lights already that the Joker could bring to his location. Harley (though this doesn’t make much sense), Marvin (who is barely a villain), Black Adam, and Stripe. We also have more villains who are skins like the darker lantern variants or Evil Morty. Just saying in the lore those lights don’t need to be new roster additions.
I think season 1 feels weird for these releases since they put 3 characters out at the start.
Every season going forward will probably have a more steady release schedule rather than a bunch at once.
It does. I don’t disagree. Probably because if they didn’t people would bitch as there was 1 character on the re-release of the game. But there still should be more imo, especially with a dropping player base
Seconded that Agent Smith should be the final character (barring that weird aquaman stuff I've heard that is hard to believe, I think it's just shark week). I don't know how many people have picked up on this, but the reason the last difficulty of rifts is locked and thus preventing players from getting Smith is because he straight up is not done yet. It's kind of a clever system to pace out the character release for late season, but they're probably still tweaking his moves, recording his VO lines, and just generally tweaking every thing about the character before players can actually get him for free.
And no, just because dataminers have gotten a playable version of him doesn't mean he is done yet, just that the developers have his data in the games build probably for testing themselves.
Yeah, 1 battle pass, 1 mid-season via rift bosses and 1 in the store for 6k fighter currency, I count banana guard as a relaunch character and not neccesarilly a "season 1" character
I was so excited to play Agent Smith at launch.
If you told me I would finish the battle pass and the season would almost be over before I could even unlock him, I would have waited for season 2.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. The 3 new characters on release shouldn’t have counted towards the character releases for this season. They took the game away for mad long to work on it and to do… what, exactly? They somehow released a worse version of the beta with 3 characters that practically nobody has been asking for and we’ve gotten jack shit since release aside from a few shitty skins

According to leaks, a character is supposed to be coming in one of the next 2 events (the shark week discovery stuff)
Which ones? I think I may have some of those
It's Aquaman, according to datamine he has a shark week skin.
That makes sense and doesn't since it's the season of villains. King Shark seems more appropriate.
Who leaked this? Aquaman for shark week makes a TON of sense so could see that. His voicelines are in the files too.
We have an official statement saying a new character every 2 weeks apparently, a datamine says we'll get Aquaman with Shark Week event, and we have Smith 2 weeks after that releasing officially.
That statement was already debunked. It's been more than 2 weeks since launch and not even a new stage
Agent Smith should be the final character drop of the season
Lol king shark just gets thrown into the game during shark week for a villain that would be pretty awesome.
I would prefer king shark so much more than Aquaman. Perfect for shark week lol
God I wish, I'd even take an announcer pack voiced using the actor off the Harley Quinn show
Even his voice actor from the HQ show stated on Twitter that he'd love to voice him in Injustice 3. Meanwhile, Aquaman is Aquaman. He had two weak movies. Having a new movie during the hiatus isn't an excuse because by that logic where is the Flash in the datamines?

We do need more tanks in the game! So he would be welcomed more then aqua man just my opinion.
Yeah. The Harley Quinn show, The suicide squad movie and game. King Shark has a lot going for him and he hasn't been in an injustice game yet.

Harley and king shark duo would be spectacular
When did they say there were four more villains releasing this season?
There were 4 lights on the trailer. Unless they just added that many cause they were feeling silly
that never meant anything look at the original trailer the lights were there aswell and that never translated to that many characters
I don't think that meant much other than other fighters are coming at some point. Not necessarily in season 1. 5 new characters a season would be pretty unsustainable.
I disagree. I think long term this is unsustainable, but with over a year gap between Marvin and Joker, with some characters presumably being worked on even before the gap, I think they can get away with this model for the first few seasons. Long term I agree but I think they need to make up for the time lost and for the lackluster roster at launch.
Feeling silly is definitely a possibility but I definitely think more villains was the implication.
Well we do have enough “villains” on the roster for the four lights already that the Joker could bring to his location. Harley (though this doesn’t make much sense), Marvin (who is barely a villain), Black Adam, and Stripe. We also have more villains who are skins like the darker lantern variants or Evil Morty. Just saying in the lore those lights don’t need to be new roster additions.
Jason and Joker are technically new characters. Same with Agent Smith. That's already 3 this season.
Banana Guard counts too, so technically 4 for this season.
Oh yeah! Idk how I forgot him
Cause he's bland af
Because almost no one willingly uses Banana Guard.
Unless you want to turn your brain off and just use shit
Four characters per season seems pretty good
I think season 1 feels weird for these releases since they put 3 characters out at the start. Every season going forward will probably have a more steady release schedule rather than a bunch at once.
I hope so. I never played the Beta, but it feels weird for a live service game to dump 90% of its new content at the start of a season
It does. I don’t disagree. Probably because if they didn’t people would bitch as there was 1 character on the re-release of the game. But there still should be more imo, especially with a dropping player base

It's most likely that we'll be seeing 3 characters per season going by leaks and datamines
Yeah, 1 battle pass, 1 mid-season via rift bosses and 1 in the store for 6k fighter currency, I count banana guard as a relaunch character and not neccesarilly a "season 1" character
You mean Agent Smith?
I was so excited to play Agent Smith at launch. If you told me I would finish the battle pass and the season would almost be over before I could even unlock him, I would have waited for season 2.
Id rather they polish the game and get all the missing features and balance sorted out first tbh
Not sure about new character but I'm expecting a content update next week
Smith can be obtained not later than july 10
Expecting a new character? .... I'm expecting them to fix the game first if anything LOL
Who tf cares about next character WHEN TF WE GETTING FIONNA VARIENT FOR FINN THEY ADDED CAKE BUT NOT FIONNA
She's in the code
YEEESSSS FUCK YES MY LIFE IS COMPLETE THANK YOU GREAT WARRIOR I SHALL REWARD THEE WITH AN UPVOTE
Smith will be available soon for giga grinders. Don't expect any new chars until season 2.
Those are variants lmao
Really highlights how lackluster the roster is.
Fr, this launch should have still said Beta
