Ed Boon Shuts Down Injustice 2 Release Date Rumor – Not March 28

By James Kozanitis

One thing I know with absolute certainty: if Ed Boon says something definitive about a game of his, it must be true. After a rumor broke earlier today that the long-awaited Injustice 2, the sequel to the DC-focused superhero fighting game, would be coming out on March 28th, Ed Boon took to Twitter to quite simply say "Injustice 2 is not coming out March 28."

The rumor started after a NeoGaf user noticed an Xbox Live rewards page that listed Injustice 2 as releasing on March 28, 2017. This website also listed a release date for the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda as March 31, as well as a March 30 release date for the upcoming Ubisoft title South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

While Bioware has yet to comment officially on this rumor, they told a Twitter user yesterday that they are aiming for a release date in "Spring 2017," which indicates that they do not have a set-in-stone date. No to mention that, if Ed Boon confirmed the Injustice 2 release date was wrong, it's likely the Mass Effect: Andromeda and South Park release dates are not to be trusted.

You can see the screenshot below:

All of these games are still slated for 2017, but it's not going to be as soon as this Xbox Rewards page indicates, unfortunately.
