A new report suggests NetherRealm Studios is developing Injustice 3, the next installment in its DC fighting game franchise. The claim is based on a blurred screenshot from a Warner Bros. artist's resume and follows previous hints from voice actors. This development would follow the studio's shift in focus after concluding major updates for Mortal Kombat 1.
Facts First
- A report claims NetherRealm Studios is working on Injustice 3, based on a blurred screenshot from a Warner Bros. artist's resume.
- Voice actors for Superman and Aquaman reportedly said last year they had worked on Injustice 3, adding to the speculation.
- NetherRealm Studios announced a shift to its 'next project' after ending major updates for Mortal Kombat 1 in May last year.
- Warner Bros., NetherRealm's parent company, was recently acquired by Netflix in an $82.7 billion deal and has restructured to focus on key IP.
- The DC comics arm is described as experiencing a renaissance, which could provide fresh material for a new game.
What Happened
A report from Mp1st claims NetherRealm Studios is developing Injustice 3. The claim is based on a blurred screenshot from a Warner Bros. artist's online resume, which lists Injustice 3 alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2 and two unannounced projects. Eurogamer notes it cannot verify the validity of the screenshot. This follows reports from last year where voice actors for Superman and Aquaman told members of the public they had worked on Injustice 3.
Why this Matters to You
If you are a fan of fighting games or DC comics, a new Injustice title could offer a major new entry in a popular series. The last game, Injustice 2, was the first fighting game to top UK sales charts in years following its release, suggesting a strong potential audience. The development appears to align with Warner Bros.'s stated refocus on key intellectual property (IP) like DC titles, which may increase the project's resources and priority.
What's Next
The studio's next steps are not officially confirmed. NetherRealm Studios previously announced it would focus on its 'next project' after concluding major updates for Mortal Kombat 1, but did not name a specific IP. The report's validity remains unverified. If development is underway, the project could benefit from the current commercial and critical success of DC properties in other media, like The Batman film, and the described renaissance in DC comics.
