Overview
- A Good Gamer(s) Group post advertising in-person playtests for an “unreleased AAA 2D fighting game” in Culver City was spotted and reported by multiple outlets and has since been deleted.
- The listing’s specific tags—AAA and 2D fighting game—rule out most known upcoming fighters and leave few plausible unannounced candidates from major publishers.
- Reporters and fans cite the Culver City location, Warner Bros. Games’ presence there, recent NetherRealm hiring, and creative director Ed Boon’s social activity as circumstantial signs pointing to NetherRealm and a likely Injustice sequel.
- Past incidents in 2025 in which voice actors briefly suggested they were returning for Injustice 3 and an artist portfolio item have been reported as informal clues but the studio and publisher have not confirmed any project.
- Analysts working from NetherRealm’s hiring and past multi-year release cadence say a 2027 window and a formal reveal at a major industry event are plausible outcomes if the playtests are for Injustice 3, which would affect competitive players and DC cross-media plans.
