Released back in 2013, Injustice: Gods Among Us is a DC Comics clobber-fest from Netherrealm, the folks wot brought us Mortal Kombat.

By plucky RPS fanzine PC Gamer’s reckoning, the free week may also be in service of DC’s upcoming “Fandome” event, which they reckon may see the Batman: Arkham series return from its long slumber. ‘Course, that’s all speculation for now. For the time being, you’re getting here is the Ultimate Edition, which comes with six new characters, 30 new skins and 60 “S.T.A.R” missions - a character-specific challenge mode. Of course, Injustice 2 would come out only a few years later, and is probably the better shout if you’re looking to get serious with your superhero brawls (or really, really want to play as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). But if you’re just up for decking Superman in the face, Injustice: Gods Among Us - Ultimate Edition is free to pick up over on Steam until June 25th.
