Mortal Kombat fans, who have scoured the arcades or the local bar, are perfectly aware: in two days now, the series will celebrate its 30th anniversary. As a result, many believe that NetherRealm Studios will take the opportunity to announce a brand new episode. Unfortunately for them, Ed Boon wanted to calm things down. "We know a lot of you are eagerly awaiting the announcement of our next game, and it will happen in due time," the franchise creator tweeted. . That's what we're going to celebrate and focus on. The announcement of our next game won't take place during this event."
On social networks, several Mortal Kombat fans expressed their disappointment. Why ? According to them, if NetherRealm Studios does not intend to formalize anything during the 30th anniversary of the series, it is simply because it is not a new Mortal Kombat. In addition, they recall that the studio is also behind the Injustice saga, and that it is therefore not impossible that an Injustice 3 is in the pipeline. And since we are talking about superheroes, last year, a rumor suggested that the studio was working on a certain Marvel Fighters. Finally, as for Mortal Kombat 12, journalist Jeff Grubb (VentureBeat) had indicated during the summer of 2021 that its development was at an advanced stage.
In short, the tracks are multiple, and finally, we will see more clearly only when NetherRealm Studios has decided to speak on the subject.
