According to a new rumor, NetherRealm Studios is working on Injustice 3 and is set to reveal the game at The Game Awards this December 9. To this end, the rumor claims the game is releasing May 2022 and “leaks” not just the game’s roster, but a few DLC characters that are set to be added to the title after it releases on what will presumably be PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and possibly Nintendo Switch.

According to the leaker, NetherRealm Studios is saving precious development time and resources by borrowing some of the work on Mortal Kombat 11 for Injustice 3.ย
“Several characters will be borrowing ideas from the previous Netherrealm Studios game in terms of gameplay and specials (as they always do),” said the leaker. “For instance; Red Tornado will borrow from MK11’s Fujin, Metallo will borrow from MK11’s Terminator and Constantine will borrow from MK11’s Shang Tsung.”
As for the game’s roster, it will supposedly be comprised of 29 characters, one of which will be locked behind pre-ordering. Adding to this NetherRealm Studios is apparently planning four fighter packs, all of which will consist of three DLC characters and a premier skin for a pre-existing character.

Now, it’s important to remember this is all just a rumor that needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Further, it runs contrary to recent reports that NetherRealm Studios’ next game will not be Injustice 3, but Mortal Kombat 12.
