Fans have been discussing Injustice 3 for years now, and it seems like we might finally be on the verge of getting an answer one way or the other. Video game enthusiasts have been watching closely as two legendary DC voice actors—Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern) and George Newbern (Superman)—confirmed at recent fan conventions that NetherRealm Studios and WB Games appear to be working on the next Mortal Kombat game.
Injustice 3 rumors heat up with Superman and Green Lantern
The definitive voice of Superman in much of the DC animated universe, George Newbern, recently told a fan at FanExpo in Toronto that he’s working on Injustice 3. Afterward, that same fan took the interaction to Twitter, noting how Newbern got involved in a hypothetical discussion about MultiVersus after the fan went off on how he hoped they could get him in the upcoming title as well.
And, meanwhile, another voice actor, Phil LaMarr, known as the Green Lantern, performed at a different convention and allegedly made the same comment. As another fan tweeted, LaMarr said something along the lines of, “Oh, you know they’re making another one, they’re doing Injustice 3” while signing some Injustice 2 merchandise.
Both actor’s individual confirmations have sparked a flurry of speculation and debate within the DC gaming community.
Why Injustice 3 Would Be The Perfect Title Right Now
It is not hard to believe that Injustice 3 is currently being developed and will be released soon. After all, NetherRealm Studios, which tends to flip between Mortal Kombat and Injustice games, already finished with Mortal Kombat 1 material some time ago. It’s also exactly when the studio would pivot to a different DC project.
Not to mention, previous leaks and conversations between WB brass and James Gunn and Peter Safran also suggest some scope of DC gaming in the not too distant future, so a new Injustice could very well come sooner, rather than later.
A Decade Since Injustice 2
I know, right?! Almost a decade since Injustice 2 dropped. A follow-up set in the dark, twisted alternate universe where Superman reigns as a tyrant has been on fans want lists for ages. Amid a saturated pop culture landscape still dominated by superhero media, the return of this beloved franchise would be a monumental presence for general DC fans and fighting game aficionados alike.
Take It With Caution
Despite the widespread discussion over Injustice 3 feeling as loud as ever, no official words have come from WB Games or NetherRealm. As interesting as these comments from LaMarr and Newbern are, however, fans would be wise to take them with a grain of salt until the game is formally announced through a reveal trailer or one of Sony’s larger statements.
Even so, if the reports are true, Injustice 3 is another DC-style game trajectory for years of well, a most awaited one.
