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

It will be an fascinating transfer for Netherealms. Mortal Kombat is by far its largest sequence, with Mortal Kombat 11 promoting over 15 million copies. Nevertheless, Netherealms opted to observe that up with one other MK recreation immediately in 2024. Mortal Kombat 1 launched yet one more timeline into the sequence. Earlier this yr, we realized that it has offered over 5 million copies, which remains to be spectacular however appears slower than MK11, indicating some sequence fatigue. Mortal Kombat 1’s enlargement was additionally reported to have accomplished very poorly. In actual fact, it was rumoured to have accomplished so badly that it resulted in a future story enlargement being canned.
Followers are additionally underneath the impression that assist for Mortal Kombat 1 is over because of the launch of a whole version that bundles all the content material collectively into one package deal.
It is smart why Netherealm and Warner Brothers desires to return to Injustice, then. Nevertheless, the DC preventing recreation sequence has traditionally not offered anyplace close to as effectively. No official figures had been launched, however Injustice 2 was estimate to have offered 2-3 million copies. Remember the fact that DC additionally takes its reduce of the gross sales.
If there actually is Mortal Kombat fatigue, although, then Netherealm could not have a alternative. Making one other Mortal Kombat may end in even decrease gross sales, and proper now Warner Brothers is already struggling and has even contemplate promoting its gaming division. Netherealm can’t merely do nothing, they usually don’t have some other franchises to work on except 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.
