Building off of the MOBA craze, WB Games partnered with DC to release Infinite Crisis for the PC. The game has still yet to see an official release, as it is still in beta testing, but that hasn’t stopped the developers from adding a ton of characters in the months since the start.
This time around, we are getting the addition of Jaime Reyes, better known as Blue Beetle, to the mix. WB Games released a brand new trailer to show off Blue Beetle, with the following description for those that do not know the history of the character.
Jamie Reyes wandered into a fight between warring super-human gangs and, desperate to escape, stumbled across the object which they were fighting over: a strange blue scarab. The scarab bonded to Jamie and instantly covered his body with battle armor. Protected, he fled to safety.
After his escape, Jamie was horrified to discover that while the armor wasn’t permanent, his bond to the scarab was. Worse, he discovered the scarab could “speak” in his mind. It revealed to Jamie that it was called Khaji-da and it was a living tool of conquest created by the Reach, an alien empire bent on conquest. Designed to control its host’s mind, Khaji-da intended for Jamie to be a tool of the Reach, paving the way for their invasion. However, the scarab was damaged, much to Jamie’s luck, and he retained free will. Now he struggles as Blue Beetle, misunderstood teenager and hero.
Look for Blue Beetle to be added to the free-to-play Infinite Crisis on April 30 and check out his debut trailer below:
