The ongoing closed data for superhero fighting game Injustice 2 will be closing on February 21 according to developer NetherRealm, who made the announcement today.
“Thanks to all of our players who took part in the Injustice 2 online beta,” reads a line from a Warner Bros. statement announcing the end of the beta. “We received a great deal of data that will help make the launch of our online modes the best they can be. Now it is time to get busy implementing the changes. That means, unfortunately, we will be turning off the beta on Tuesday, February 21. Get your games in this weekend!”
NetherRealm Creative Director Ed Boon, confirmed the news on his Twitter page, which includes a pun for pun enthusiasts.
