Will Injustice 3 be made by NetherRealm?

NetherRealm’s next DC fighter: Injustice 3, per reports

NetherRealm Studios—best known for Mortal Kombat—may be returning to its DC fighting series with a potential new game after a long gap since the last Injustice release. The reporting in the provided story indicates that Injustice 3 is “in development” as the likely next fighting game from the studio.

This matters because NetherRealm is currently associated with Mortal Kombat 1’s post-launch cadence, and fans have been waiting nearly a decade for another Injustice entry. A reported development effort would signal that the studio is broadening beyond its current MK lineup rather than continuing only with the most recent title’s support.

If accurate, the shift would also fit a pattern in fighting-game studios: maintaining momentum by rotating between major IP while reusing shared engine work, animation pipelines, and fighting-game systems.

What we know and don’t know

• The provided story points to development of Injustice 3 at NetherRealm
• It frames the series return as a response to years without an entry
• No details were provided here about release timing, platforms, or roster

For now, the only firm signal in the provided material is that Injustice 3 is being positioned as the next NetherRealm fighting game project, rather than an announced next step from Mortal Kombat 1’s immediate post-support.
