Leaker claims Netherrealm is working on Injustice 3

Switching up their typical development cycle, NetherRealm Studios followed up 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11 not with a 3rd Injustice game, but instead another entry in the Mortal Kombat series: MK1. Reception towards the game was mild, with its post-launch support receiving particular criticism – ultimately ending its live-service plans prematurely. With MK1 now out of the way, it seems Netherrealm is finally returning to Injustice 3.

As reported by known Warner Bros. / Multiversus leaker ‘multiversusie’ the insider shared a rather humorous tease for what Netherrealm has planned next, taking to twitter to say:

“Multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice. 3”

Though not outwardly stated, this is a clear reference to Injustice 3 seemingly being Netherrealm’s next project.

As mentioned, the studio has in the past released an Injustice game following each new Mortal Kombat title – with MK1 being the first time they’ve moved away from this structure.

Given the disappointing performance of Mortal Kombat 1 however, it seems either WB, or Netherrealm (or both) figured out that following up a Mortal Kombat with another MK title may not have been the best move.

It will be interesting to see how an Injustice 3 will be received – especially in a post-MK1 world.
