Expected to arrive in the UK this Friday 19th April, Injustice: Gods Among Us has been delayed for the Wii U. The upcoming brawler has been pushed back to the 26th April, so we've just one week to wait.
Speaking to CVG, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. had confirmed the new release date, but never gave any information as to why the game would be delayed in the first place.
Were you looking forward to picking up Injustice: Gods Among Us this week? Does waiting an extra week bother you? Let us know in the comment section below.

Sorry EU but I get to play this tonite. Woooop!
For second I thought I read this as the US release. A bummer for people in the UK that planed on getting it for the Wii U, but at least it isn't a giant delay.
Thats not that bad of a delay, its only 11 days unlike Rayman Legends which still is delayed for the next five months, so EU gamers should be thankful that it wouldnt be that long
Speaking of such will the review come out soon?
The least they could do is give an explanation...
While I am slightly annoyed at the delay, at least I still have Fire Emblem to look forward to this week.
Obviously, WB doesn't want to go toe to toe against Kirbys Adventure!
Yeah...too many games coming out in Europe...would be bad timing to release it now!
My preorder comes on Wednesday........
I'm in the US, but I am still wondering what the cause for this would be...
Given how dire and slow the 360 demo was, I'd imagine that they've delayed it because it isn't fun.
@KaiserGX You get to play TONIGHT? I thought the NA release date was the 16th! I have to wait until tomorrow...
Really strange it's only the Wii U version being delayed though.
@Peach64 not strange at all! Because the Wii U is shower than a snail ATM.
@Captain I will be downloading it from the Eshop and it uploads at midnight but it would be around 9 my time.
Street date was broken in Australian and was released yesterday in some stores.
@KaiserGX Ah, I forgot about the eShop. I pre-ordered the physical copy, so I have no choice but to grab it tomorrow. Well, have fun.
Dosn't really effect me as not got the money to buy this this week, so was getting it next week anyway.. but still a blow.
My question is, with other recent games having distribution problems, Eg- MH3, NFSMW, is the delay also down to the same issue with distribution and would rather release a game fully available rather than partially?
Seems very strange its only the WiiU version and only by an extra week, so It can't be down to development issues.
I also Wonder if the game will release on eshop this week though, and WB simply delay retail release.
Everyone is talking around it saying it's 'all very odd', but what were really all thinking is: 'Are UK/European distributors intentionally delaying the Wii U version as a kiss off to Nintendo for not reducing the price of the console?' The retailers seemed to know it was going to be delayed BEFORE Warner Bros announced it.
And we may all come to the conclusion that it may be a little far fetched, but it's still sitting there in the back of all of our minds....
All the retailers in Europe came together and purposely delayed release, by one week, to exact revenge on Nintendo for not reducing the stock price of the Wii U?
Yeah, I'm pretty high too, dude. Peace Out
Injustice: Gods Among US
What I find odd is that the game is being released in the US tomorrow and I haven't found a single review yet. I know there are embargoes with some games but this is too much.
Let's face it retailers know something is up when a box full of games doesn't appear at the warehouse! It must be a European distribution problem...
@sinalefa I think we are all aware that this game may suck hard, the EU delay is quite useful really as we get to hear what our NA folks think before we take the plunge!
Lego Batman 2 PS3 > 22th june 2012, for the Wii 29th of june. Lego Lord of the Rings PS3 > 23th november 2012, for the Wii 30th november 2012. Both dates verified on amazon.de. Seems to be a pattern in recent releases by WB for Nintendo Wii systems. The 3DS versions have been released the same day as all other versions.
I suppose this does not bother me, as I've intended to wait for some reviews and platform comparisons before buying (Colonial Marines for PC left me psychically scarred and I'm not preordering anything for the next two years minimum).
It might not be as strange as it looks - maybe there are some trouble getting those custom optical discs made in adequate quanities? Or some logistics problem we don't know of?
This is a greater outrage than Rayman being pushed back! I demand justification!
Actually, like DLC. What the hell is up with that?
I getting quite fed up with all these last minuet delays.
it's only a week
I can wait
It's averaging an 85 (360 version) right now on metacritic so I don't know if it has anything to do with game quality and it's arriving on time here in North America so I really don't get this but hopefully they use it as a chance to hype up the Wii U version a bit more.
