Peacemaker Enters a New Arena in the NetherRealm Universe
Following his debut in Mortal Kombat 1, the beloved Peacemaker character, inspired by John Cena, steps into the ring of another thrilling fighting game crafted by the renowned game developer.
John Cena's popular Peacemaker character, known for being a part of one of the biggest fighting game franchises, is now making its way to Injustice 2 on mobile. While not as significant as Peacemaker's inclusion in Mortal Kombat 1, fans of the antihero will be excited to have another game where they can control him.
Injustice 2, which was released in 2017, has been the most recent installment in the DC Comics fighting game franchise. Despite NetherRealm Studios being more focused on the Mortal Kombat series, Injustice still provides a fun opportunity to embody DC heroes and villains. The mobile version offers a challenging yet accessible portable fighting experience.
Peacemaker's Abilities in Injustice 2
Now available to unlock worldwide, Peacemaker joins the Flawed Justice team along with the movie versions of Black Adam and Hawkman, and his teammates improve his power when they're all deployed together. As long as they're all fighting together in a match, Peacemaker builds up Peace Stacks for every five seconds he's tagged in, which gives him and his teammates certain buffs—making him a pretty strong Injustice 2 character.
Passives
A Vow of Peace: Creates a shield for his teammates when he tags out based on the number of Peace Stacks he had
No Wrong Time to Rock: Boosts team's Special damage based on the number of Peace Stacks built up
Fear the Uniform: Gives teammates more power based on how much the combo meter is built up

NetherRealm's decision to introduce fan-favorite characters into Injustice 2 has proven to be a successful tactic in maintaining the game's popularity. However, the chances of a new Injustice game being developed appear to be diminishing as the studio continues to excel in the realm of Mortal Kombat. Fans may need to come to terms with the fact that a new installment could be further delayed, especially with Warner Bros., the parent company, facing significant challenges on the business front.
