Not to mention the chance to add even more fan-favorite DC characters to Injustice’s roster, which is always a treat. There is still plenty of storytelling potential for NetherRealm to explore in a third installment (especially if they decide to make the “Superman Wins” alternate ending to Injustice 2 canon after all). With DC hinting at big video game announcements from the likes of Rocksteady at its upcoming DC FanDome event next month, the timing for a new Injustice game couldn't be better.
So far, the Injustice series is well regarded for its plot and gameplay mechanics, with NetherRealm’s Ed Boon himself believing that it would make a great movie for DC’s shaky cinematic universe in the future.
This Injustice 3 tease comes shortly after the original game was offered for free on Steam back in June, as well as developer NetherRealm hinting that they might branch out into other comic book franchises like Marvel at some point. The end of Injustice 2 saw the fallen Superman being locked away in the Phantom Zone (or gaining the mind-control technology of Brainiac in the game’s incredibly dark alternate ending), but now the arrival of a new prequel comic suggests that the story might not be over yet. This causes the Man Of Steel to become a tyrannical dictator out to bring world order through any means necessary, with only a small resistance group led by Batman standing in his way throughout two games and a critically acclaimed tie-in comic series. During NetherRealm Studios Injustice 2 panel at San Diego Comic-Con International on July 22, 2016, Boon announced a digital comic book series which will detail the backstory to the events of the game. Possibly, it could be followed by the official Injustice 3 video game from. Originally released back in 2013, Injustice and its follow-up tell the story of an alternate DC Comics timeline in which Superman goes insane after the Joker tricks him into killing Louis Lane and her unborn child, as well as destroying Metropolis. It seems the Injustice 3 comics series is on the way to come as its lead writer teases the Injustice logo on Twitter. NetherRealm has been remarkably quiet about a certain series as of late. The series acts as a prequel, taking place during the five years before the main events of the games story mode. NetherRealm’s dark take on the DC universe was last seen in 2017’s Injustice 2, which continued the previous game’s breakout success and cemented the Mortal Kombat developer’s status as an icon of fighting games. Injustice 3 Announcement Might Be Coming Soon. The Injustice: Gods Among Us Comic is a comicbook series that can be purchased digitally on Comixology for 0.99 per chapter, or as a physical comic for 3.99 (Original Series)/2.99 (Year Two onward) an issue. A new Injustice game could be on the horizon, at least if a recent tease regarding a possible prequel comic is anything to go by.
