For several years, fans have been speculating about a possible new game in this franchise, and now it could be closer than ever. Obviously, the studio has not clarified whether the project is a completely new franchise or an existing one they have previously worked on.

Despite slim possibilities, the community hopes to eventually see a potential Injustice 3. For their part, NetherRealm Studios has done a fantastic job in recent years with their flagship franchise.

With the release of Mortal Kombat 1, the studio has been more than consistent with this franchise, providing all sorts of twists to entertain their fans.

In this latest instalment, the story focused on completely rebooting the timeline and reintroducing all of the characters, with some key changes in this new reality constructed by the god Liu Kang. There is some possibility that this new project is an entirely new IP.

Some fans have begun to comment on this possibility, but they have also suggested that NetherRealm Studios might be working on adding DC Comics characters to the current fighting game, something that has happened in the past.

In the coming months, we’ll have to see what kind of news emerges about the development of a new game from this studio. WB Games is considering all sorts of possibilities to improve their game sales.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
