Netherrealm's next game: mortal kombat 2 or injustice 3?

It's been nearly three years since Mortal Kombat 1 debuted, yet NetherRealm remains mum about its next project. Speculation has swirled that the studio is working on Injustice 3, the long-awaited sequel to its DC Comics fighting game franchise. This theory gained traction when MP1st reported spotting an Injustice 3 mention on a Warner Bros. Games artist's resume.

Netherrealm's development plans in question

In 2021, the studio announced it had decided on its next game, leaving fans eagerly anticipating an official reveal. However, just eight months later, Warner Bros. confirmed no further DLC or story chapters would be added to Mortal Kombat 1, sparking backlash in the community. Since then, NetherRealm has been silent on its future plans.

With Mortal Kombat 2 now in theaters, fans are more curious than ever about what lies ahead for the studio. A new Injustice installment would mark a return to the series after a four-year hiatus, following the release of Injustice 2 in 2017. Yet, the studio's decision to release a soft Mortal Kombat reboot in 2023 instead of a new Injustice title has left many wondering if NetherRealm will once again alternate between its two flagship franchises.

A new injustice or mortal kombat 2? the waiting game continues

While NetherRealm's silence on the matter is deafening, fans can only speculate about the studio's next move. Will they opt for another Mortal Kombat installment, or finally deliver the Injustice 3 fans have been craving? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the gaming world is eagerly anticipating NetherRealm's next big reveal.
