Potential Injustice 3 closed playtests
A recent listing from Good Gamer Group has revealed that an unannounced AAA 2D fighting game is scheduled to have a closed playtest between September 14 and September 15 in the United States.
In the listing, it does not mention the exact name of the game, however, it does not take a rocket science to take a guess.
Fans have already guessed and pretty much know that NetherRealm Studios is one of the few developers that are known for producing large-scale AAA 2D fighting games.
In April 2026, there were already reports about the development of Injustice 3 and this new listing has further fueled the rumors.
Official reveal happening soon?
If the reported closed playtest for Injustice 3 is true, then there is a very good chance that the development of this game has reached a major milestone.
Fans have previously seen NetherRealm Studios reveal their games at major gaming events. The Game Awards 2026 is the biggest gaming event left this year and there might be a strong chance that we might see the official reveal of this game.
Is Injustice 3 officially confirmed?
No. NetherRealm Studios has not officially announced the game, although multiple reports and rumors suggest it is currently in development.
Why do fans think the recent playtest is for Injustice 3?
The listing mentions an unreleased AAA 2D fighting game in the U.S., and NetherRealm Studios is one of the few developers currently associated with that genre.
When could Injustice 3 be announced?
While there is no confirmed reveal date, many fans expect the game could appear at The Game Awards 2026, where NetherRealm has announced titles in the past.
