Mortal Kombat Developer Next Game May Release In 2023; Should Be Studio's Longest Supported Title

The next game by Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios has yet to be officially announced, but it seems like fans will not have to wait much longer not only for a reveal but also for an actual release.

"Should Be Studio's Longest Supported Title"
Which isn't saying much. MK11 was supposed to be supported for several years, with NRS even claiming that the pandemic wouldn't deter any of their momentum. Only for them to ditch the game barely after two years (with them going radio silent for numerous months with those years), with no updates on future titles since. It wasn't like MK11 didn't sell millions of copies.

NRS needs to look to Capcom (SFV) and Namco (Tekken 7) in terms of supporting a fighting game for the long haul.

Strong STRONG disagree. I’d rather have 2-3 years of support and then seeing them move on to their next big project, instead of releasing numerous expensive season passes before they’re done.

I think MKXI and Injustice 2 found the right balance. And they released complete editions when the games were still relevant.

CorndogBurglar1252d ago

MK11 released like 2 or 3 separate expensive "season pass" type DLC's before releasing a final version.

Terry_B1252d ago

Its more like players having to support a fighting game by paying 20-60 bucks for it every year if they want a complete version once.

Street Fighter V was at 60 for the base game and 30 at least if you wanted all additional characters and stages each year. = over 200 bucks at least...+ some money for a few extra costumes and I think a few e-sports stages

Army_of_Darkness1252d ago

2 years of support is more than enough for me, I'd rather have them focusing on releasing a new game!

MehmetAlperTR1252d ago

I prefer Shaolin Monks 2, instead of Injustice 3...

hotnickles1252d ago

I heard somewhere that he pretty much confirmed mk12 in 2023. Best year in fighting game history? SF6 and T8 look amazing. MK12 has had extra long to bake so it better be dope.

Tzuno1252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

It better be MK XII, needs to be U5 and bloody as fk
Injustice is irrelevant
Doesn't hurt if they change the fighting control scheme in to something more fluid and linked, not just individual button presses

Bathory6661251d ago

I’d love shaolin monks 2 or mk12. Sorry but injustice sucks.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
