NEWS Injustice 2's Sub-Zero DLC Release Date

Injustice 2's next character is just a few weeks away. Mortal Kombat mainstay Sub-Zero will be playable in the superhero fighting game in July.

Creative director Ed Boon announced this on Twitter, revealing that Sub-Zero is due out on July 11. He shared the news with a reference to Game of Thrones (Season 7 of which also debuts in July), saying, "Winter is coming...in July."

Sub-Zero was first revealed as a DLC character back in May alongside two other characters: Red Hood and Starfire. Red Hood was released earlier this month for $6. All three characters are included as part of the $20 Fighter Pack 1 DLC, which bundles them with the Gods shader pack and a Power Girl Premiere skin. Those who purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate editions of the game get these three characters for free.

Sub-Zero freezes opponents, creates weapons out of ice, and generally does Sub-Zero things.

Developer NetherRealm Studios hasn't yet said exactly when Starfire will be released. Given the schedule for the other two Fighter Pack 1 characters, you can likely expect her in August. A total of at least nine characters, including these three, will be released as DLC for Injustice 2.
