It seems Netherealm might be returning to the Injustice universe with a 3rd game, according to a new report.
MP1ST, a website that really seems to be nailing a lot of exclusives lately, has the details. They managed to locate the CV of an artist currently working at Warner Bros., who apparently lists Injustice 3. MP1ST are not mentioning the identity of the artist for obvious reasons, and the screenshot they have has been carefully blurred out to avoid incriminating the employee. Not blurred out is the artist’s portfolio, though, which includes Hogwarts Legacy, two unannounced titles and Injustice 3.
This isn’t the first time we’ve had strong hints that Injustice 3. James Gunn mentioned meeting with Netherealm early last year to discuss new DC projects, and Injustice 3 was even mentioned years ago in the massive Nvidia leak.
And apparently, Netherealm already decideded what their next game after Mortal Kombat 1 would be back in 2021.
Support of Mortal Kombat 1 wound down in May of 2025. The game released in September 2023, and so far Netherealm’s development time has typically been around 3-4 years, so assuming they jumped straight into Injustice 3, it would launch sometime around the end of this year/end of next year.
Injustice 2 launched in 2017, so right now, it has been 9 years since we last got to fight an evil Superman in a loot-driven fighting game. By time Injustice 3 launches, it’ll probably be over a decade.
Another Injustice might also be exactly what Netherealm needs because Mortal Kombat 1 seemingly didn’t do that well, especially compared to prior Mortal Kombat titles.
