The Longer NetherRealm Waits, The Bigger Injustice 3 Gets!

by

Fans of NetherRealm Studios’ DC-fighting series are eagerly anticipating news about Injustice 3. Though an official announcement is yet to be made, it appears that a third installment in the series could very well become a reality, fueling hope among gamers.

James Gunn and Peter Safran, who currently lead DC Studios, have suggested they’ve been discussing potential projects with Warner Bros.-owned studio NetherRealm. Although nothing is confirmed yet, this conversation might indicate the development of a new Injustice game, possibly Injustice 3. It’s been eight years since the release of Injustice 2, so if NetherRealm delays the next installment any longer, it will have more time to weave together the overall narrative.

As Fans Wait for Injustice 3, the Details of the First Two Chapters Are Bound to Get Murky

The Complex Lore of Injustice Can Be Difficult to Summarize

A great deal transpired in the games, ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ and ‘Injustice 2’. From the fall of Superman’s One Earth Regime in the first game to the emergence of The Society and Brainiac in the second, there is a wealth of information that one should be aware of before contemplating a hypothetical ‘Injustice 3’.

It seems unlikely that NetherRealm Studios has been covertly developing a third installment of the Injustice series for some time now, so it might be quite a while before we see the next entry in the series. This means that if Injustice 3 does indeed materialize, it could potentially debut a full decade after the release of its predecessor, Injustice 2. With such an extended gap between games, fans might find themselves struggling to recall the entire storyline when the third game comes out. Instead of replaying the previous games right before the launch of Injustice 3 for a refresher, players may opt to dive straight into the new game and skip over revisiting old plotlines.

Should the DC film universe created by Gunn and Safran prove successful, it might pave the way for Warner Bros. to approve the production of Injustice 3.

Injustice 3 Can’t Dwell On the Past Too Much

The significant gap between Injustice 2 and the upcoming Injustice 3 presents an intriguing challenge for NetherRealm’s writers, as they need to fill players in on the events of the first two games without disrupting the narrative flow of the third game. One possible solution could be incorporating a summary of key events within the game itself or offering a separate recap option in the menu. However, this method may create discontinuity when revisiting those past events in Injustice 3‘s storyline.

If it hasn’t been the case that NetherRealm Studios has been covertly developing a third installment of Injustice for a long while, we might have to wait several more years before the next one comes out.

Summarizing previous occurrences requires a careful approach, and the extended gap between updates might complicate matters for Injustice 3. To keep players engaged, Injustice 3 must immediately impress if it aims to compensate for the elapsed time. This eagerness could potentially hinder the game from dedicating sufficient attention to past events.

NetherRealm’s Next Move is a Huge Mystery

  • A recent NetherRealm job listing was searching for a senior animator to help develop a “story mode campaign.”
  • This job listing has led to rumors of a new Mortal Kombat 1 expansion.

Given that NetherRealm’s latest game is MK1, and the job listing requires experience with martial arts/fighting games, it seems reasonable to infer that they might be working on additional content for
