![]() ![]() While NetherRealm Studios has yet to confirm that Injustice 3 is in development at all, the studio set itself up to continue the franchise’s exploration of corrupted superheroes with both of the available endings for Injustice 2. RELATED: Ed Boon Will Try to Get Raven for the Injustice 3 Roster Injustice 2's Endings Provide the Perfect Setup for Even More Corrupted Heroes Both of Injustice 2’s endings already provide a stepping stone to taking the series’ evil superhero storylines to new heights. While the series’ first two entries have already done a great job of exploring what can happen when some of Earth’s most powerful defenders turn to treachery, there are still numerous options for expanding on that premise with a third entry. With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League potentially being delayed until 2024 or later, now would be the perfect time for NetherRealm to revive its acclaimed DC fighting franchise. By continuing the series’ trademark blend of brutal combat and multiversal superhero storytelling, Injustice 3 could not only serve as a worthy threequel but also stand out as a solid single-player alternative to the live-service gameplay of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. That means NetherRealm Studios has the opportunity to reaffirm its role as the preeminent provider of superheroes-gone-bad stories with Injustice 3. Keep it here for the latest updates in games, including the latest from DC FanDome.Rocksteady Studios’ in-development Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League continues to face criticism from some gamers after an underwhelming gameplay trailer showed the title straying far from the developer’s Arkham roots. If an Injustice 3 is announced, we'll be the first to report on it here at Shacknews. A potential event to look out for would be C2E2 2021, which is held in NetherRealm's backyard of Chicago, IL, and where the developer has revealed major game announcements in the past. ![]() As for where it would be revealed, that remains to be seen. A third installment is entirely possible, especially as DC has proven they're able to farm out plenty of story material in-between games. Of course, nothing is ever truly finished in the comic book world and Injustice would be no exception. Without spoiling what happens in Injustice 2, that story ended fairly conclusively. What would a third Injustice feature, in terms of story? It's hard to say. Add to that the fact that Mortal Kombat 11 is finished adding content and one would have to imagine that NetherRealm's next step is to jump into Injustice's third chapter. Reddit, as well as several media outlets, have been running with a supposed leaked roster. Injustice 3 was never addressed, which is interesting because rumors of its existence have been floating about for several months. One question was never addressed by Boon, that question being, "What is the future of the Injustice franchise?" Geoff Keighley, founder of The Game Awards, sat down with Mortal Kombat/Injustice creator Ed Boon and actor Justin Hartley to discuss all things Injustice. The totalitarian take on Superman has grown into a fully fleshed-out universe of its own, starting with NetherRealm's video games and continuing through several volumes of tie-in comics. The Injustice segment was comprised of a lengthy retrospective of the Elseworlds comic universe where Superman snapped following the Joker destroying Metropolis with a nuclear weapon and tricking him into murdering his pregnant wife, Lois Lane. With Injustice fresh on everybody's minds, Saturday seemed like the natural moment to reveal the series' next big title. An animated adaptation is set to release next week. The Injustice series had a strong presence at this year's DC FanDome and with good reason. ![]()
