Rumor points to Injustice 3 on Warner Bros artist resume

A single resume line has pushed Injustice 3 back into the conversation, and it matters because the series has been dormant since Injustice 2 arrived in 2017. The listing reportedly sat alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2 and two unannounced projects, which makes the tease feel less like random fan noise and more like an early sign that Warner Bros. Games still has DC fighting-game plans on the board.

That timing is what gives the rumor weight. NetherRealm’s last release was Mortal Kombat 1 in 2023, announced in May and released in September, so the studio is at a believable point in its cycle to have another major project taking shape. If Injustice 3 is real, it would land about nine years after Injustice 2 and nearly three years after Mortal Kombat 1, a gap that fits a studio alternating between its two biggest fighting-game identities rather than rushing into another sequel.

The business logic also lines up with where Warner Bros. is heading. NetherRealm is based in Chicago and remains one of Warner Bros. Games’ key teams, the studio the company says brought Mortal Kombat to life. In 2025, Warner Bros. Games reorganized around core franchises that included Mortal Kombat and the DC Universe, and Shaun Himmerick was promoted to oversee those titles. That kind of structure points to a publisher treating both brands as pillars, not side bets.

For DC, a new Injustice would arrive at a useful moment. DC Studios, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, has Supergirl set for June 26, 2026 in North America and June 24 internationally, giving the brand a fresh theatrical anchor in the same stretch that fans are again talking about a DC fighter. Injustice 2 already proved the formula, expanding the DC fighting-game setup with Batman, Superman, Supergirl, Aquaman, Atrocitus, and Gorilla Grodd. A sequel would give Warner Bros. another way to keep those characters in circulation across games and screens.

None of this confirms the project on its own. A resume can hint at work that never reaches release, and studios routinely keep unannounced projects quiet for years. Still, staff portfolios are often the first public breadcrumb for a game in development, and this one points to a company that may be ready to bring NetherRealm back to DC after a long wait.
