Injustice: Gods Among Us - Zatanna

Core Content Addition: Character Roster Expansion

The focus of this DLC is the introduction of the powerful sorceress, Zatanna, to the playable roster. As a character-specific add-on, it provides her complete moveset, unique character intros and outros, and integration into the game's existing challenge ladders.

What unique gameplay mechanics does this addition introduce?

Zatanna's fighting style centers heavily on the use of stage magic and illusion, setting her apart from many characters in the base roster. A distinctive feature of her gameplay involves utilizing backward spell incantations. Successfully executing these reversed commands results in unique offensive and defensive capabilities, such as specialized projectile attacks, rapid teleportation maneuvers, and tools for controlling the stage layout during a match. Mastering her moveset requires players to adapt to this specific input requirement, offering a different mechanical challenge than more direct, physical fighters.

Integration and Scope

This content requires the base game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, to be accessed and played. Once installed, the character becomes immediately available for use across all modes that support character selection, including Versus, Online Play, and Character Specific Challenges within the game's existing structure. The scope of this DLC is narrowly defined, concentrating solely on the character herself rather than large-scale content overhauls.

Release Context and Platform Availability

This downloadable content was made available to players in August 2013. It was developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, supporting the initial release platforms of the main title, specifically the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.

How does this DLC change the main game experience?

The change is purely additive to the character selection pool. It allows players who own the base game to explore new matchups and develop strategies centered around Zatanna's unique magical toolkit within the established Injustice: Gods Among Us fighting system.
