Green Lantern and Superman voice actors told fans at conventions they were working on Injustice 3. Fans immediately started celebrating online after years of silence.
Injustice 2 released in 2017 and was a major hit. It combined DC superheroes and villains with the tight mechanics of NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat series. The game sold well, received strong reviews, and kept a dedicated player base alive with DLC characters and competitive tournaments.
After that, NetherRealm shifted focus to Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019 and then Mortal Kombat 1 in 2023. Rumors of Injustice 3 appeared every few months, but Warner Bros never confirmed anything and the studio stayed quiet. Until now, the franchise’s future was only speculation.

The studio has a pattern of rotating between Mortal Kombat and Injustice, so the timeline matches up. With DC’s new leadership under James Gunn and Peter Safran pushing for stronger multimedia projects, Injustice 3 could arrive as part of a bigger strategy for DC games.
The fighting game scene in 2025 is already stacked. Tekken 8 has been thriving and Street Fighter 6 continues to evolve. If Injustice 3 joins the lineup soon, it could shift attention back to superhero fighters and make the competitive scene even more exciting.
