In recent years, the NetherRealm studio has accustomed us to juggling projects. Indeed, between each episode of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon’s teams have always been able to offer another fighting game, Injustice not to mention it, just to take the time to think about the new copy of the next Mortal Kombat. But it could well be that for Mortal Kombat 12 things were different. With 12 million copies sold for Mortal Kombat 11 and 73 million cumulative games for the franchise, Warner Bros Interactive would have asked the studio to continue on the development of the new opus.
It is indeed Jeff Grubb, journalist at VentureBeat and often well informed, who decided to swing his scoop during a podcast with Giant Bomb. That’s not all, Grubb also mentions that if a new Injustice does not happen, it is also because the WarnerMedia entity has merged with Discovery and that developing a new Injustice game could be problematic following licensing rights. . Worse, with this new alliance between the two giants, the resale of NetherRealm Studios is also a possibility. We also remember that Ed Boon shared his desires to work with Marvel for a fighting game, when Daniel Ritchmann had mentioned a Marvel Fighters by the creators of Mortal Kombat. A change of dairy soon?
