It’ll be interesting to see the team behind such beloved Batman games and explore the DC universe through a unique lens. Since Arkham VR, it seems like they’ve been working on Squad for years on end.
#Are they making injustice 3 series
This is another ambitious game that is abandoning past hardware in favor of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. But as of now, it’s slated to release in 2023 with a lot more details yet to be revealed. The trailers that followed were praised for the tone and witty dialogue. It was revealed that it was a co-op Suicide Squad game with Harley Quinn, Killer Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Deadshot. Many wanted them to make a Superman game, which people have been demanding for years. The second entry, Arkham City, is considered by many to still be the best comic book video game ever, with only Insomniac’s Spider-Man competing with it.Īfter Arkham Knight, they went silent and many fans wondered if they’d ever make a superhero game again. Rocksteady is behind what’s considered the best of the Arkham series. The next couple of games based on DC comics could make or break them.
It took a while but Marvel is doubling down on the video game market and capitalizing on their popularity. Then Insomniac is making Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine, which are going to be a big deal when they release. Their upcoming games include the tactical RPG Midnight Suns, which feature a variety of beloved characters. Then there was Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on the Switch which did well. While the Avengers game was polarizing, the same developer of that game made Guardians of the Galaxy, which people seem to really enjoy. Insomniac released Spider-Man and Miles Morales, which were beloved. Marvel seems to have found its footing in gaming. While not terrible, that output could be significantly improved upon. There were still DC games being released like Batman: The Telltale Series, Injustice 2, Lego DC Super-Villains, and DC Super Hero Girls. Released in 2017 as a direct sequel to 2013’s Injustice: Gods Among Us, it continued the story of Superman becoming a dictator after he is tricked by the Joker into killing Lois Lane.The Batman: Arkham series carried the DC video game brand for years, but now they are in need of a more consistently fulfilling release schedule.įrom 2009 to 2015, there were four quality action-adventure Batman games that gave so much love to that character’s world and history.
The last Injustice game that NetherRealm Studios developed was Injustice 2. “At the same time, you don’t have to use any of these Batman or Superman characters that might be tied up in licensing if you try to get rid of NetherRealm or sell it to whoever,” Grubb explained. Something like that would obviously complicate a project like Injustice 3, which involves more intricate licensing. “It lines up with the reality and it lines up with what I’ve heard, where Mortal Kombat 12 would make the most sense because that’s a game they know will make money, it will sell well… Mortal Kombat 11 was great, it’s doing well, but if you come out with Mortal Kombat 12 it will also sell and do well,” Grubb said.īut the idea of NetherRealm going with Mortal Kombat 12 instead of Injustice 3 makes even more sense when the current state of WB Games and its parent company, WarnerMedia, is considered.ĭue to WarnerMedia’s upcoming merger with Discovery to form what could be a very different entertainment company, WB Games’ future is uncertain in that it could be broken up, with various studios such as NetherRealm falling under new ownership. As reported in late July, Mortal Kombat 11 has sold over 12 million units worldwide, cementing the title as the best-selling Mortal Kombat ever and the relevance of the franchise. In a new Giant Bomb video, Grubb suggests that NetherRealm might actually be set on developing yet another Mortal Kombat title, presumably Mortal Kombat 12, for obvious reasons that include the franchise’s latest milestone. NetherRealm Studios is primarily known for two franchises these days: Mortal Kombat, which needs little introduction, and Injustice, a newer property that features Superman, Batman, and other popular DC Comics superheroes.īeing that Mortal Kombat 11 was NetherRealm’s last game, Injustice 3 being its next project seemed like a no-brainer to most fighting game fans, but GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb has claimed otherwise.
