The God of Thunder, Raiden is finally available to download in Injustice 2 alongside the Black Lightning premium skin.
Raiden is the second character from Fighter Pack 2 to make his way to the fighting game. Like the previous DLC characters, Raiden is available now for those who bought the Ultimate Edition or the Fighter Pack. Players who want to purchase Raiden separately can do so on Oct. 10, but they can practice as him in the Raiden-centric tower in the multiverse mode.
If you’re looking to download Raiden and the Black Lightning premium skin for both PS4 and Xbox One, follow these steps if you’re having trouble.
On PS4 you can verify content has been downloaded by doing the following:
- Visit the Injustice 2 page on your PS4 Home Menu or Game Library
- Select the game and scroll down to the "Related Items" section at the bottom. It should be under PlayStation Store at the bottom
- From the My Add ons section you can manually download individual pieces of content you own
- You can also click “View All” to see store options too, and should see the DLC available with a price of “Free” if you haven’t already downloaded it and own the Ultimate Edition, Deluxe Edition or Fighter Pack 2
On Xbox One you can verify content has been downloaded by doing the following:
- Go to My Games and Apps
- Locate Injustice 2 and press Menu
- Select Manage Game
- Scroll all the way to the right on this menu to see what DLC is Ready to Install, and start those installs.
If Raiden is still not playable after confirming the DLC has downloaded successfully, try the following:
- Start the game and get to the Main Menu
- Allow the game to Idle for a minute or two, long enough for an AI battle to automatically start
- Once the AI battle has started, you can interrupt it by pressing any button
- Starfire should now be available to play if you own the DLC
- Go into the online menu for a few moments, then return to the main menu. Raiden should be available to play.
After trying the steps above, if you still cannot play Raiden and you are on PS4, try the “Restore License” steps from Sony here. You can then check My Add-ons again to see if this DLC is now available, or check in-game to see whether it is available to use.
