Grubb discussed this fact, stating that this may be the reason that NetherRealm would favor Mortal Kombat over Injustice going forward. Hence, acquiring all the licensing for all the DC Comics characters that appear in Injustice would not be as easy, or may even be impossible. If NetherRealm ever gets sold, it would make the creation of a new Injustice game very difficult, mostly because DC Entertainment, which owns DC Comics, is owned by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, but abandoned the idea when COVID-19 caused the gaming industry to flourish in 2020.

It is not too outlandish to imagine that NetherRealm could also see itself getting sold, especially when one considered the fact that AT&T had once considered selling off Warner Bros. The merger leaves NetherRealm's future uncertain since the subsidiaries of what was WarnerMedia have been getting sold quite frequently, including TMZ which was sold to Fox Corporation and Playdemic which was part of Warner Bros.
#Injustice 3 video game series
According to the pattern, a new Injustice game should be next, but leaks and reports suggest NetherRealm may favor the more successful Mortal Kombat series by releasing Mortal Kombat 12 instead. When 2015 rolled around, the studio released Mortal Kombat 10, and then it released Injustice 2 in 2017 and Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019. In 2011, the studio released Mortal Kombat and the next game from the studio was Injustice: Gods Among Us in 2013. That means no more new DLC, characters, or content. The future of NetherRealm and WB Games remains up in the air NetherRealm announced that development for 'Mortal Kombat 11' completed back in July 2021. Typically, NetherRealm has bounced between Injustice and Mortal Kombat titles, and this has been a good strategy thus far. He hasnt heard direct confirmation that 'Injustice 3' will release before 'Mortal Kombat 12,' or vice versa. Really hope Injustice 3 makes the Absolute Justice ending canon. However, this should not blind one to the success of Injustice, as the latest entry, Injustice 2, attracted droves of gamers and sold 1.5 million copies within three months of its release. He is the main antagonist of the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game and comic series. In total, the series has sold over 73 million copies, making it a very profitable IP for NetherRealm. It currently sits as the best-selling fighting game franchise of all time, with the latest entry, Mortal Kombat 11, selling over 12 million copies globally by 2021. The success of Mortal Kombat cannot be understated.
