Director Ed Boon Teased Injustice 2 & Mortal Kombat 11 On Twitter

Ed Boon, creative director of NetherRealm Studios has recently teased fans with a post on Twitter about the possibility that Injustice 2 is in development.

With E3 2016 just around the corner, the proof in favor of an Injustice 2 reveal at the event continues to build. This time the possibility of the project is being teased by NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon, who along with the announcement changed his profile picture on Twitter to hint at the existence of Injustice 2. The new profile picture of Boon features a roman numeral "II" which looks like an obvious indication to Injustice 2. A fan asked about it, and Boon suggested that the profile picture is in fact a reference to Mortal Kombat 11, but if it were, Boon wouldn't be saying so, making it possible that Injustice 2 is set for a proper reveal soon.

Previous rumors are pointing to Injustice 2's release in March 2017, which means that a reveal at E3 next week is the most likely scenario. Although, with Warner Bros. Interactive opting out of an E3 2016 press conference, it will be interesting to see whether Microsoft or Sony showcases the game. Instead, Injustice 2 could be announced right before E3, with a demo for viewers to play on the show floor, or it could be revealed a bit later in the year.

Evidence for this possible new approach may be found in the supposed leaked image of a Superman game. That image shows a character biography for the titular Superman, but instead of being a standalone Superman game, it's for Superman's character page in Injustice 2. If that's the case, the art style shown on the leaked image would suggest an overall lighter tone than the first Injustice.

The first Injustice earned positive reviews, and was the top-selling game in its month of release, so a sequel should have some decent hype behind it.
