RELATED: Injustice 3 Could Lead the Perfect Trifecta in 2022 Despite being one of the most notable game adaptations DC Comics has seen in some time, Injustice has seemingly always played second fiddle to Mortal Kombat in terms of both sales and fan reception. After having one bad day, Superman decides the world needs a dictator rather than a hero, and many characters die in the ensuing fighting. They are fairly faithful comic adaptations of plotlines present in DC Comics, notably the Injustice story arc its name comes from. The Injustice games have always sat in an interesting place. However, judging by the pattern NetherRealm Studios has held for the past decade, it seems likely the studio's next game could be Injustice 3. A Marvel-based fighting game has been discussed, and a recent rumor suggests the developer is playing things safe and moving on to Mortal Kombat 12. Meanwhile, fans have no idea which franchise NetherRealm is going to pick up now that Mortal Kombat 11 is done. has denied that NetherRealm is up for sale, but the existence of those rumors seems to indicate some turmoil in the company. There's no clear path forward, and rumors about NetherRealm's future with its publisher have been swirling for the past year. In the meantime, here's the funny reaction of Creative Director (and Mortal Kombat Co-Creator) Ed Boon on Twitter - he crossed GameStop from an imaginary "party invitation list" before wanting to "de-trend" Injustice 2 on Twitter, though he finally admitted he was just joking.It is an unusual time for NetherRealm fighting games. Considering that NetherRealm released Mortal Kombat X on April 2015, though, we might have to wait until Spring 2017 to get the game. No details are known yet on Injustice 2, but it will likely follow in the footsteps of its predecessor we'll know a lot more during E3 2016, in all likelihood. As a result, he goes insane (not unlike what we've seen in the Knightmare portion of BvS: Dawn of Justice) while Batman rallies a group of rebels against his totalitarian regime. Injustice: Gods Among Us, released in 2013, is set in an alternate version of the DC Universe where Superman is tricked by Joker into killing Lois after Metropolis has been destroyed. We can clearly see Batman and The Flash about to fight each other, with the tagline "every battle defines you" just below. GameStop somehow leaked the image below, which all but confirms that the second installment in the fighting game franchise will be announced at E3 2016. “NetherRealm Studios is offering fans an experience of customising and battling with DC’s iconic characters in an entirely new way.” “Expanding the DC Universe in games continues to be one of our top priorities, and Injustice 2 showcases amazing gameplay and an original story to bring the characters to life for players,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. “We’re always interested in pushing the genre forward and allowing players to customise and level-up their favourite DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains is a significant leap.” “In Injustice 2, we are introducing new features that will change the way fans play fighting games,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. Battles will take place across arenas that have evolved in scale and span across iconic locations such as Metropolis, Gotham City and Atlantis. Players can play from the biggest DC roster ever offered in a fighting game, from classic fan favourites such as Batman, Superman, Supergirl and Aquaman, to astonishing new villains like Atrocitus and Gorilla Grodd. In the midst of the chaos, a new threat appears that will put Earth’s existence at risk. Injustice 2 continues the epic cinematic story introduced in Injustice: Gods Among Us as Batman and his allies work towards putting the pieces of society back together while struggling against those who want to restore Superman’s regime. For the first time gamers can take control of how their characters look, fight and develop across a variety of game modes. Every battle defines you in a game where players personalise iconic DC characters with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. Injustice 2 offers the latest DC fighting game experience that expands on the previous title’s larger-than-life showdowns. Unfortunately for PC fans, the game is scheduled only for a 2017 release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. UPDATE: Injustice 2 has been officially announced by Warner Bros.
