Injustice 3 Rumor Sparks Response From NetherRealm's Ed Boon
NetherRealm development chief Ed Boon has responded to rumors doing the rounds about the studio’s next game, including reports indicating Injustice 3 is in the works.
Ed Boon, the development chief of NetherRealm, addressed rumors circulating about the studio's next game, including speculation that Injustice 3 is in the works. The rumor of Injustice 3 has been circulating for years, but MP1st recently found evidence suggesting that the game may feature Supergirl and Batwoman as playable characters.
Supergirl's inclusion is unsurprising, given her role in the Injustice 2 game, while Batwoman's debut would mark a first for the character in the mainline Injustice games. Boon responded to a satirical X/Twitter post stating that NetherRealm was partnering with Insomniac to deliver the first AAAA fighting game. Boon dismissed the rumor, saying "100% false.
Next rumor please.... ;)" Another rumor claimed that NetherRealm was testing Injustice 3, Mortal Kombat 13, and/or Mortal Kombat 9. Boon responded that all these rumors were false. Boon did, however, express appreciation for the interest in Injustice 3, stating that its development may not be openly tested currently, but it is still in development.
Fans are eagerly awaiting an announcement for Injustice 3, possibly at The Game Awards in December. While NetherRealm may be working on a different game under the Injustice name, it could also be a new DC fighting game series. Warner Bros. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn stated that they have been hands-on with new projects at NetherRealm and Arkham developer Rocksteady, discussing project storylines and character plans.
