It looks as if Netherealms may be returning to the Injustice universe for a third sport, eight years after Injustice 2. Properly, 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 sport. Multiversusie appeared to have a really dependable supply for the sport, indicating somebody inside both the event workforce or Warner Brothers was slipping info.
Now, although, Multiversusie appears to be hinting that the builders of the Mortal Kombat sequence are returning to the Injustice video games. In a tweet on X, Multiversusie described because the shuttering of Multiversus as an “injustice” after which went on to make use of the time period twice extra.

It might be an attention-grabbing transfer for Netherealms. Mortal Kombat is by far its greatest sequence, with Mortal Kombat 11 promoting over 15 million copies. Nonetheless, Netherealms opted to observe that up with one other MK sport immediately in 2024. Mortal Kombat 1 launched yet one more timeline into the sequence. Earlier this 12 months, we discovered that it has bought 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 executed very poorly. Actually, it was rumoured to have executed 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 bundle.
It is smart why Netherealm and Warner Brothers desires to return to Injustice, then. Nonetheless, the DC preventing sport 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. Understand that DC additionally takes its reduce of the gross sales.
If there really is Mortal Kombat fatigue, although, then Netherealm might not have a alternative. Making one other Mortal Kombat may lead to even decrease gross sales, and proper now Warner Brothers is already struggling and has even take into account promoting its gaming division. Netherealm can’t merely do nothing, and so they don’t have another 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.
