Boon didn't respond to Baslajik's post, but the artist has done official artwork for games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and posters for Avengers: Endgame, so there's a chance that Baslajik could be involved with Injustice 3's artwork. It's not clear whether or not this is fan art, which is how BossLogic got his start, or officially commissioned art, which has been the case in several instances for the artist. To top it off, you can clearly see the blood-splattered smiley face pin to the left of the image, which The Comedian wears in the original graphic novel. The design is eerily similar to the Doomsday Clock featured in the Watchmen graphic novel, but it could also be a reference to the comic's sequel Doomsday Clock. The picture has the text "INJUSTIC3" spelled out at the center and the background is a big, vintage clock. That same day, artist Nikolai " BossLogic" Baslajik added more hype to the potential announcement of Injustice 3 when tweeted an image of what appears to a banner for the unannounced game teasing the addition of Watchmen characters to the fighting game. personally let his Twitter followers know that he'd be attending with a tweet on August 9 but hasn't revealed what he'll be discussing during his panel at the event. If NetherRealm only recently found itself able to confidently work on Injustice 3, then that’d put it further behind in development than the next Mortal Kombat.Boon confirming that he'll be attending DC Fandome. Given the change in stance, it’s arguably more likely than ever that Mortal Kombat 12 will still be the next game. The hornet's nest that is Injustice 3 speculation has erupted following some new, and unfortunately, vague, tweets from Ed Boon, the creator and director of the NetherRealm Studios' series. If that’s no longer an issue, though, it can get back to work on the series. It’s likely NetherRealm wanted to avoid committing to another Injustice because it had no idea if it would still be around after the merger or if the licence would suddenly be taken away from it. ![]() Discovery, nothing else seems to have really changed, with none of the developers being sold or shut down as a result. ![]() Games as a whole is now part of the newly formed Warner Bros.

That in turn may imply that the legal situation with Warner Bros. There’re still plenty of characters that could feasibly be made playable again (examples include dragon king Onaga, vampire Nitara, and fire elemental Blaze) though any potential picks will likely go through some design/story changes to fit the new continuity.Īs much as Boon likes to tease fans, he’s never deliberately lied, so he’s not going to talk about an Injustice 3 now if it isn’t possible. While the likes of Kenshi, Bo’ Rai Cho, and Frost made their way into the new timeline kickstarted by the 2011 reboot, the majority of characters introduced in those games have been reduced to cameos or outright ignored. On the subject of Mortal Kombat 12, another fan asked Boon why barely any of the characters from the 3D era of games released in the mid 2000s (Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Deception, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon) have shown up in the more recent titles.īoon seemed to insinuate that more of those characters could appear in the next game, saying ‘That is something we will soon fix.’ At this point, I’ll get in a lot of trouble if I say anything more,’ he said at the time. ‘I can tell you there was a reason for it, and when we announce our next game, it’ll make a lot more sense.
