With NetherRealm Studios releasing Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition, it’s all but a given that support for the fighting game has ended about 20 months after launch. The response from fans isn’t the best, especially since creator Ed Boon promised long-term support, but there’s also curiosity about what’s next.
Despite WB Games announcing its focus on tentpole franchises like Mortal Kombat in 2024, a sequel to Injustice may be on the docket instead. MultiverSusie, known for MultiVersus leaks before the title’s shutdown was announced, tweeted, “MultiVersus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice.”
They would then follow up with another tweet stating, “3.” Putting 2 and 2 – or, in this case, 2 and 1 – together seemingly points to a new Injustice.
This is far from hard confirmation, and NetherRealm hasn’t officially announced plans to return to the DC-centric fighter. Considering that Injustice 2 launched in 2017 and garnered a strong critical and commercial response, a sequel wouldn’t be out of left field. Time will tell, so stay tuned for updates.
