NetherRealm StudiosGreen 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.
Injustice 3 leaked thanks to comments from DC voice actors
Phil LaMarr, the voice of John Stewart’s Green Lantern, signed a fan’s Injustice 2 steelbook at a convention in Houston. While chatting, he casually mentioned, “they’re making another one, they’re doing Injustice 3.”
Around the same time, George Newbern, the voice of Superman, told another fan that he was “currently working on Injustice 3.” Both interactions spread quickly online, with fans treating them as the first real confirmation of the sequel.
These comments suggest that development is underway and possibly well advanced. NetherRealm usually records voice work in the middle stages of development.
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.
