## Key points

- DC's new fighting game is mobile title DCKO, not Injustice 3
- 2v2 tag fighter launches 2027 on iOS and Android, beta pre-registration open
- Injustice 3's status remains unannounced nine years after Injustice 2

## Summary

DC has confirmed that its next fighting game will not be the long-awaited Injustice 3, unveiling instead DCKO, a mobile-only title from developer Drop Fake and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment due in 2027. The announcement clarifies where DC's fighting game efforts are currently focused, while leaving the future of NetherRealm's Injustice series, whose last instalment appeared in 2017, unresolved.

DCKO is a 2v2 tag-team fighter combining online multiplayer PvP with single-player modes, with creative director Gene Campbell saying live multiplayer between players was central to bringing the genre to mobile comic-book fighters for the first time. Its roster currently stands at 19 confirmed characters, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Constantine, Blue Beetle and Katana, with further fighters to be revealed monthly. Pre-registration for an open beta is now live ahead of the game's 2027 launch on iOS and Android; it is unrelated to the similarly named "DC K.O." comic-book crossover event from the previous year, despite the shared title.
