It looks as if Netherealms may be returning to the Injustice universe for a third recreation, eight years after Injustice 2. Effectively, that’s what an insider seems to be teasing, at any charge.
Multiversusie was a notable leaker of all tings Multiverse, Warner Brother’s doomed cross-franchise combating recreation. Multiversusie appeared to have a really dependable supply for the sport, indicating somebody inside both the event crew or Warner Brothers was slipping data.

It could be an fascinating transfer for Netherealms. Mortal Kombat is by far its greatest sequence, with Mortal Kombat 11 promoting over 15 million copies. Nevertheless, Netherealms opted to comply with that up with one other MK recreation right away in 2024. Mortal Kombat 1 launched yet one more timeline into the sequence. Earlier this yr, we realized that it has bought over 5 million copies, which continues to be spectacular however appears slower than MK11, indicating some sequence fatigue. Mortal Kombat 1’s enlargement was additionally reported to have finished very poorly. The truth is, it was rumoured to have finished so badly that it resulted in a future story enlargement being canned.
Followers are additionally below the impression that help for Mortal Kombat 1 is over as a result of launch of an entire version that bundles the entire content material collectively into one package deal.
It is smart why Netherealm and Warner Brothers needs to return to Injustice, then. Nevertheless, the DC combating recreation sequence has traditionally not bought wherever close to as properly. No official figures had been launched, however Injustice 2 was estimate to have bought 2-3 million copies. Remember that DC additionally takes its lower of the gross sales.
If there actually is Mortal Kombat fatigue, although, then Netherealm could not have a selection. Making one other Mortal Kombat may end in even decrease gross sales, and proper now Warner Brothers is already struggling and has even think about promoting its gaming division. Netherealm can’t merely do nothing, they usually don’t have some other franchises to work on until they wish to resurrect a Mortal Kombat spin-off like Shaolin Monks. That leaves them with both making a brand-new IP or return to Injustice.
