Mortal Kombat 1 is Proof that NRS’ Next Game Shouldn’t Be Injustice 3

Until leaked information from insiders indicated differently, many would have thought NetherRealm Studios would do Injustice 3 after Mortal Kombat 11, instead of Mortal Kombat 1. MK1 was likely decided upon for a plethora of reasons, but there’s no doubt many would have preferred and still want Injustice 3. NetherRealm Studios’ DC fighting franchise is incredibly popular, even compared to fighting genre mainstays like Street Fighter, Tekken, and of course, Mortal Kombat. As a result, many will likely hope that Injustice 3 follows Mortal Kombat 1—when and only when NRS is ready to move on, of course—but there’s a strong argument to not do just that.
