NetherRealm Studios director Ed Boon keeps a running list of ideas for a potential Injustice 3, although the game has not been officially announced yet. The Injustice franchise has been well-received, with Injustice 2 winning the "Best Fighting Game" award at the Game Awards in 2017. Boon, who serves as director for NetherRealm's games, often provides updates and hints about upcoming releases, including characters like Reptile and Ermac for Mortal Kombat 11. As director for the Injustice games, Boon has already expressed his interest in including characters like Teen Titans' Raven in a possible third installment.
A recent interview with ComicBook has shed light on Ed Boon's extensive plans for the highly anticipated Injustice 3. It has been revealed that these ideas have been brewing in Boon's mind for several years, dating all the way back to the development of Injustice 2. Although the specifics of Boon's notepad file remain undisclosed, his active presence on social media has fueled speculation about potential new games and characters from NetherRealm. As of now, NetherRealm Studios has not made an official announcement regarding Injustice 3.
Boon's comments may give fans hope for the release of Injustice 3, but the game is likely to be delayed due to the studio's current projects. NetherRealm Studios is currently focused on preparing for the launch of Mortal Kombat 1 next month. This reboot of the gory franchise introduces new gameplay additions, such as easier Fatalities and the Kameo assist system that includes unique support characters.
Although the launch of Injustice 3 may be delayed, superhero fans can still enjoy a variety of options in NetherRealm's newest game, Mortal Kombat 1. The first Kombat Pack will feature popular modern superheroes, including Homelander from The Boys, Omni-Man from Invincible, and Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad. In the past, Mortal Kombat has offered both heroes and villains as DLC characters, as seen in Mortal Kombat 11's first Kombat Pack with the Joker and Spawn. While Injustice fans may have to wait, Ed Boon's list of notes reassures them that the studio will be prepared for Injustice 3.
