Injustice 3 is on the docket as NetherRealm’s new game

NetherRealm Studios may very well be working on the next Injustice game, likely titled Injustice 3. This comes after Warner Bros. revealed plans to focus on its big tentpole IPs, alongside live service, as well as a Mortal Kombat 1 Definitive Edition that includes all post-launch content.

MultiverSusie, a Multiversus leaker prior to the game’s eventual shuttering said in a post on social media how it was an injustice for the game to be shuttered… twice. Additionally, in a more light-hearted jokey way, we’re sure, it was also an injustice for them to no longer have any leaks before tacking on a second post simply reading “3.”

It’s worth pointing out, it seems Mortal Kombat 1 is on its last leg only 20 months after release, leaving many fans unhappy as NetherRealm’s Ed Boon promised long-term support. Combine that with the very real struggles WB Games is feeling even a year on after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed and that back in 2017, Injustice 2 actually sold well and was received well, the company might be eyeing an easy — to it — W by returning to a winning formula.

Of course, this is just a rumor, as neither WB Games or NetherRealm have made any sort of official comment about continuing the DC-centered fighter.
