The game has already been confirmed for PlayStation 4 and XBox One.
To celebrate the announcement of the game, an update for Injustice Mobile will be released and will add Injustice 2 Superman and Aquaman as gold characters for the single player challenge more.
Injustice 2 will also continue the story of the first game, which ended with the imprisonment of Superman.
A huge part of the game is going to be the new gear and character upgrade system as explained by Tyler Lansdown
The Gear System uses RPG-like mechanics to reward you with loot drops every time you play the game. With each loot drop, you will earn character-specific gear to outfit and power up your roster – changing not only the look of each character, but your fight strategy and your personal approach to every match. As you gear up your characters, you’re building a roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains that reflects your choices, and your preferences, which can be vastly different than your opponents. A few play sessions in, you can expect your Aquaman to look and play different than anyone else’s Aquaman you may come across.

No PC Version? 🙁
Nothing announced yet. This does not mean however that the game won’t appear on PC eventually. On the other hand Warner Bros had made some really bad experience with PC lately with Batman Arkham Knight and Mortal Kombat X, that who knows what they will decide.
