NetherRealm Studios

I mean, what if I want permanent, devastating narrative consequences and I wanna punch someone so hard they fly through a skyscraper?

Then you need to talk to NetherRealm Studios, the developers famous for the Mortal Kombat franchise.

They looked at the DC Universe and created the Injustice series.

Yes.

Yeah.

Injustice: Gods Among Us from 2013, and its incredible sequel, Injustice 2, from 2017.

NetherRealm realized that if they created an Elseworlds premise, a pocket alternate reality, they could break all the rules of the mainline comics.

Right.

It's not my favorite fighting game.

I really prefer NetherRealm fighting games because they do such a good job of interlacing the story with the characters.

And Street Fighter, it's just, you know, just be a random group of people and occasionally you'll get a little comic section of this person's story.

I played through on two or three different characters, whatever.

So if you missed anything that was seasonal, you're, you're gonna continue to miss out on it.

Uh, Ed Boon is quashing any rumors in regard to current games being developed by NetherRealm, which no surprise there.

I do like when people in charge of studios or franchises are a little more active and vocal with fans and things like that.

James Gunn is, Ed Boon tends to be.

But, uh, while people have been talking about it for a while online and speculating and, and things like that, there was a new thing that said NetherRealm was partnering with Insomniac to make a game.

Whether that was a satire or real or not, uh, Ed Boon ret- uh, responded on Twitter saying, quote, "100% false.

Next rumor please," unquote.

Injustice 3 is currently being playtested.

It's supposed to be the next thing coming up from Netherrealm.

Looks like we have more on that.

There's been a leak that supposedly Supergirl is back, but Batwoman is going to be one of the playable characters this time.

Yeah.

Injustice 3 also might be in the works as online sleuths are trying to deduce and connect some playtester positions that opened up at Netherrealm and also a resume leak for a stunt actor who had Injustice 3 as like an active project that they had.

So Injustice 3 might be in the works, folks.

very cool to see it'll be interesting to see what the story is because they wrapped up like both unless it was like a new injustice comic that came out that I'm unaware of they kind of tackled I think both variations of the injustice comics and that storyline in the first two games So we'll see what that does.

I am refreshing and getting the most up-to-date results myself.

What do you want from NetherRealm next? Your options were Mortal Kombat, Injustice, or something new.

15% said Mor- Mortal Kombat.

After getting two in a row, that was last place here.

[laughs]

Uh, MP1st reports that stunt performer Mackenzie Emery listed motion capture work on Injustice 3 for Supergirl and Batwoman with NetherRealm animator and stunt coordinator Jake Hwang named alongside the work.

Emery's public profile still shows their previous Mortal Kombat 1 collaboration, but Inj- the Injustice 3 entry has been removed.

In April, MP1st found a separate WB Games artist's res- resume that explicitly named Injustice 3.

Yep, that was, that was always f- yeah.

At a certain point they had, they had to learn that that was just bad practice.

Uh, all right, new poll question: What do you want from NetherRealm next? Mortal Kombat, Injustice, or something new?

Mm.
