Injustice Is Looking Like The Next Fighting Game From NetherRealm Report

After almost a decade without a new entry, the Injustice series might be returning from NetherRealm Studios. MP1st reports a Warner Bros. Games artist listed Injustice 3 on their resume, alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2 and two unannounced projects. This comes almost a year after a dataminer strongly hinted that Injustice 3 was in the works.

It's been almost exactly nine years since Injustice 2 launched in May 2017. To put that in perspective, the original Nintendo Switch had only been out two months and Justice League hadn't even been released in theaters yet. In fact, director Zack Snyder hadn't even stepped away from that DC film quite yet--a domino that led to the Snyder Cut movement. Fast forward to today, and James Gunn is now co-leading DC Studios, with Supergirl set to premiere in June.

Last year, Gunn and his co-chief Peter Safran noted that they had met with NetherRealm and Rocksteady about video games in the new incarnation of the DC Universe. NetherRealm has been consistently crafting fight games over the past 15 years. Mortal Kombat 1 was its latest release, coming out in 2023. Before that, the developer launched Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019, with Injustice 2 preceding that in 2017.
