As were
getting closer to E3 and the wonderful games developers have in store to announce
a couple of questions have been roaming around the fighting game community.
Now there have been some discussions
about Netherrealmn’s Mortal Kombat X. Not too long ago Ed Boon has been doing
polls asking fans what characters would they like to see in Mortal Kombat X and
votes have been Jade for the girls and Noob Saibot for the men. Boon also
posted another poll asking fans to vote for one out of three choices being:
Kombat Pack 3, MK11 or Shaolin Monks sequel. Kombat Pack 3 got the most votes
with 44%. Now with that in mind it brings the question will there be an
Injustice 2 announcement at E3 this year? I know a lot of people have been
talking about it but I wanted to give my opinion on it.
I want to say that there is a possibility
that there could be an Injustice 2 announcement next month. A couple reasons are
that for starters we know that an Injustice 2 is coming out Netherrelamn announced
about a year and a half ago and E3 would be the place to announce it at.
Another reason is the pattern of how
Netherrealmn makes their announcements. For example back in 2010 Netherrealmn announced
Mortal Kombat 9 at E3, two years in 2012 Netherrealmn announced Injustice at E3
and in 2014 Netherrealmn announced Mortal Kombat X at E3. Every two years
Netherrealmn always announces a new game in the works which makes me lean onto the
side that there will be an Injustice 2 announcement at E3 this year.
Now I’m also leaning to the side
that there might not be due to the fact that Boon asked these poll questions
and most of the time Boon delivers. So I don’t see why he wouldn’t do a Kombat
Pack 3 after doing these polls.
A couple of other reasons as to why
there might not be an Injustice 2 announcement is that Mortal Kombat X just released
their Kombat Pack 2 DLC and they did an online patch that completely changes the
net code making it playable for fans. It still feels new to a lot of players. I
feel that there should be more time to have these features develop over the
next couple of months or maybe a year because if Injustice 2 is announced Netherrealmn
will have to abandon all their work on Mortal Kombat X.
In the end I still feel that there’s
more to come for Mortal Kombat X. This is one of the best fighting games ever.
It seems too early to end future DLC for this game. We know Injustice 2 is
coming and I believe announcing it at E3 might be too early to do. Please give
me your thoughts on this topic.
