Mortal Kombat Trilogy Remake Petition


Mortal Kombat’s 30th anniversary is next year and we’d like to honor this amazing franchise by re-making the original Mortal Kombat Trilogy (MKT) on PC and consoles. MKT is a classic game combining all of the characters from MK1, MK2, MK3 and UMK3. It also includes nearly all of the stages from those games.


So who are we? Eyeballistic www.eyeballistic.com are a team of Mortal Kombat fans who approached series creator Ed Boon back in 2016 to remake the game in HD. Although Ed fully supported us, Warner Bros who owns the Mortal Kombat IP, was unconvinced that the game would sell over 100,000 units world wide and thus they determined it wouldn’t be worth the substantial cost of marketing the product for sale.  


Since that time, Eyeballistic has become a legitimate game development group (rather than just a team of talented MK fanatics) and we’ve signed multiple game contracts to produce games for PS5, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch. We’ve also improved our online rollback tech with some proprietary technology that improves upon GGPO even further for incredibly smooth play across great distances. We’ll use Epic Online Services (the backbone of Fortnite’s online server network) so that the game will support cross play between all the platforms as well. We’re confident that we could make a game that would be welcomed by the FGC tournament scene including ComboBreaker and Evo!


We’re planning to painstakingly recreate every detail of every stage and character in glorious 3D. Of course every fatality, brutality, friendship and animality will be there too. The characters and stages will get a face lift to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second gameplay action through the power of Unreal Engine 5. We’ll even remake all of the music by giving it a modern cinematic sound that incorporates real instruments.


Target platforms for release would be Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, PS5 and PC. We anticipate the game would cost $39.99 and it would include everything the original MK Trilogy had plus the standard online match making and world wide leaderboards. If you want this remake to happen, please show your support by signing the petition. When we reach 100,000 supporters we’ll approach WB with a plan to use crowdfunding to further demonstrate that the  game will sell like crazy! 


October 10th 1996 was the last time Mortal Kombat Trilogy was released on home consoles. That was nearly 25 years ago. Let’s bring back Mortal Kombat Trilogy! Earthrealm needs your support and you can show it with hashtag #BBMKT.
