Characters are broken down into shards that you'll receive by completing fights and objectives in the various modes.

Unlike the console version, in which the full roster is unlocked from the start, here you'll collect and upgrade characters – just like in the last mobile Injustice. You'll have to collect and upgrade your character list to get to where the console versions begin. Playing the preview build on a tablet, I certainly couldn't spot any obvious visual downgrades to the characters. The result is characters that feature an amazing level of detail for a mobile game. NetherRealm took the actual models from the console game (which look fantastic, a few strange costume designs aside) and optimized them for mobile devices. The mobile version of Injustice 2 will feature most of the characters from the console version at launch, with each character coming in a regular version as well as 1-2 elite versions with different outfits and stats. She plays a key part in the new story, NetherRealm tells us. Soon Supergirl, also an alien, becomes embroiled in the conflict. Eventually, both sides must cease hostilities to face a greater threat: Brainiac, the extraterrestrial android bent on capturing or eliminating all life in the universe. Grodd's Society is only the first menace our heroes face. Meanwhile, Gorilla Grodd (an evil, super-intelligent gorilla and nemesis of The Flash) forms a team of supervillains called The Society in an attempt to take over this war-torn world. Having defeated the evil High Chancellor, Batman and his team of heroes continue fighting to rebuild the Injustice world. What will the story be like? Injustice 2's expansive story mode takes place shortly after the last game. Whatever they decide, players won't be forced to download the full story just to play the game. NetherRealm is currently debated whether to make new chapters available as optional downloads or via streaming. The first chapter of the story (which features Batman) will simply be built into the game at launch, but future chapters could potentially eat up a lot your phone or tablet's storage.

That raises some concerns about storage space, given that Injustice 2 features a complex narrative with lots of fully voiced cinematics.
