NetherRealm’s Next Game Will Be Injustice 3
The announcement of the Definitive Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 had led some to believe that support for the game had come to an end. Immediately following this development, a reliable source hinted that NetherRealm’s next game could be Injustice 3. This means that the Mortal Kombat series will be taking a short break.
When You Say “Injustice” Three Times
Although the Injustice series has not received as much attention as Mortal Kombat, it has a loyal fan base. Especially after the first two games, the third installment has been anticipated for a long time. This expectation was shelved with the release of Mortal Kombat 1; however, it seems that it may now be making a comeback. Well-known leaker multiversusie drew attention by using the word “injustice” three times in a row in a post on social media. Sharing the phrase “3” immediately after these wordplays clearly pointed to the subject of the leak.
These kinds of veiled messages are a common promotional method in the gaming world. Especially when it comes from a source like multiversusie that has previously shared accurate information about MultiVersus, the claims that Injustice 3 is in development become more credible. In addition, it is known that NetherRealm usually releases games in order between Mortal Kombat and Injustice, which makes the timing meaningful.
On the other hand, Warner Bros. announced in recent months that the Mortal Kombat brand would be the priority for the company. This makes it surprising that the studio would move on to a different project. However, this choice can be interpreted as a strategic break so that the Mortal Kombat series does not get tired.
Although no official announcement has been made yet, Injustice 3 rumors are getting stronger. NetherRealm’s return to the Injustice universe seems like a welcome development for fans of superhero-themed fighting games. The statements from Warner Bros. and NetherRealm are eagerly awaited.
