"Injustice 2" won't be released on March 28 despite the claims of many websites. NetherRealm Studios nor game director Ed Boon haven't confirmed the news until now.

"Injustice 2" will not be released on March 28 after some sites reported a leak on a pre-order incentive from Xbox, which showed the release date for NetherRealm Studios' game, Attack of a Fanboy said. Game director Ed Boon shut down false reports regarding the alleged release date via Twitter. While many fans have expressed great sadness over the revelation, they are now left wondering when is the exact release of the DC Comics-inspired game is.

"Injustice 2" was initially reported to be released on March 28 after the official website of Xbox featured the misleading information, Xbox Tavern reported. In the rewards section of the game, alongside "Mass Effect: Andromeda" -- which is set for March 31 (the typical placeholder for a game scheduled to get released in Q1) -- the game is seen with the March 28 date. In fact, they have photos showing the exact date attached to the DC Comics fighting game.

"Injustice 2" has yet to announce an official release date but based on trends in the past, a lot of NetherRealm titles arrived April. However, it is best for fans to wait for the studio or its game director to give out official information about the game. Despite the confirmation from Ed Boon, some fans believe that the game director could just be saving face so fans could wait until an official announcement has been made.

On the contrary, NetherRealm Studios may just be preparing a big announcement during the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) 2017. Many studios are likely to launch their games ahead of the fighting game tournament, which is held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada around July. Launching "Injustice 2" just before the event can create a lasting impression on its fans. Whatever case may be, fans are hoping that it won't take very long for NetherRealm Studios to release "Injustice 2" this year.
