The development team at Turbine working on the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena title Infinite Crisis announces that it is getting ready to launch a new character for the game, Atrocitus, on Wednesday, June 11, offering players even more options when it comes to choosing their favorite hero.

Atrocitus will be specialized in taking damage from enemies before unleashing his own impressive attacks and the studio details his powers in a new video.

The character was one of the five survivors of the rampage of the robotic Manhunters that killed trillions of beings across the galaxy, who formed a terrorist group and was then hunted down and imprisoned by the enforcers.

Turbine states, “He murdered a fellow Inversion using a Red Lantern, creating the first Red Power Ring. Armed with the raw force of rage made manifest, his war on the Guardians began anew.”

Infinite Crisis is a MOBA built entirely around characters from the DC Comic universe and the development team has been careful to introduce a wide array of heroes with different abilities and play styles.

The title faces tough competition from DOTA 2 from Valve, League of Legends from Riot Games and the coming Heroes of the Storm from Blizzard.
