NetherRealm Confirms It Is Pursuing the Next Mortal Kombat

Ed Boon’s remark points to a busy slate spanning games alongside other media.

Overview

  • Ed Boon, who spoke to Collider on Wednesday, said the studio is “actively pursuing” another Mortal Kombat game.
  • He teased “a lot of pots on the stove,” noting projects in development beyond games and promising more announcements.
  • Reports have floated a third Injustice fighter after a recent artist resume listed it, but neither WB Games nor NetherRealm has confirmed it.
  • The most recent main entry, Mortal Kombat 1, launched in 2023, setting the stage for whatever the studio plans next.
  • Boon said he would like to bring guests from Street Fighter, Marvel, or DC into a future Mortal Kombat, which could shape the roster if licensing deals come through.
