The thought was, if we did an Injustice game and we knew we were going to take longer, it would be like, you know, seven years between Mortal Kombat games,’ says Boon. ‘We made the decision to go to the new Unreal before Covid had hit, so we kinda committed to that direction. Besides all of the other info out there and what Ed Boon said I just realized that Homelander, Omniman and Peacemakers fit perfectly into Injustice 3 and it sounds like based on the process to get guest characters it takes a long time to negotiate contracts. Speaking with Jeff Gerstmann, Boon says the two main reasons were the decision to switch to Unreal Engine 4 for game development (Mortal Kombat 11 ran on Unreal Engine 3) and the unfortunate timing of the Covid-19 pandemic.īetween the pandemic and needing to acclimatise to a new engine, Boon expressed worry that if they started making another Injustice, then there’d be an even longer wait for the next Mortal Kombat.

As we’ve touched on before, that’s partly to do with NetherRealm’s pattern of flipping between each series. However, according to VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb that could be about to change. Speaking on the Giant Bomb podcast, Grubb suggested that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Warner Brothers Games, and the Merger with Discovery, led to NetherRealm changing projects or potentially abandoning any hope of working on an Injustice 3 project. “It lines up with the reality and it lines up with what I’ve heard, where Mortal Kombat 12 would make the most sense because that’s a game they know will make money, it will sell well… Mortal Kombat 11 was great, it’s doing well, but if you come out with Mortal Kombat 12 it will also sell and do well,” Grubb said.
