DC FanDome is set to begin on October 16, with several high-profile movies and comics set to be there. It’ll also be a good time for video games, as bothSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice LeagueandGotham Knightsare expected to be there. In fact,Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguerecently released new key artin anticipation of the event. But there are many fans hoping that one more popular DC game will be there:Injustice 3.
While there are always fans hoping for anInjustice 3announcement, a recent confirmation has added fuel to that fire. DC Comics recently released a new promo for the event, naming NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon as one of its attendees. Fans have quickly connected the dots, hoping his confirmation here is evidence that anInjustice 3reveal is inbound.

Of course, this could very well prove to be the case. If Ed Boon is there to make a video game announcement or at least be involved in one, then it wouldn’t make sense for it to be anything butInjustice 3. However, fans should take this with a grain of salt for a couple of reasons. First off, Ed Boon attended the event last year too. Many jumped to the conclusion that it would be announced then too, but the only commentBoon made onInjustice 3was that there was “nothing to announce.”
Furthermore, there have been reports thatNetherRealm Studio’s next game isMortal Kombat 12, notInjustice 3. Mortal Kombat 11is officially done in terms of content, which does suggest the studio is likely focusing on its next game. WhileInjustice 3seems to be the next in line, so to speak, reports indicate NRS is working onMortal Kombat 12instead due to some concerns and uncertainties with the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger. With this in mind, it does seem most likely that Ed Boon is just part of some panel as he was last year, as NRS’ next game is currently uncertain.
That said, with how long the aforementioned merger has been in the works, it’s possible that the immediate and forthcoming impact of the merger has already been outlined. It could be that NetherRealm Studios is indeed working onInjustice 3, and it could be that Ed Boon is at DC FanDome to help deliver on atriple-threat of DC games:Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, andInjustice. Fans should keep their expectations in check nonetheless.
Injustice 3is not confirmed to be in development.
