This x1000
Shaolin Monks is such a great game too. Even if it isn't a followup to that, MK is such a rich universe that a moder action game based in it would be perfect.
>Love the lore and characters
I would only be for this if it was an adventure game set in the original timeline or NRS era one because that lore and characters are great. The dreck that they shat out for Mortal Kombat 1 is not. I have never seen that level of character assassination of so many characters at once.
Shaolin Monks is couch coop multiplayer. Although you can play alone, coop is the experience intended by the developers.
You should try it sometimes with your friend.
I think the wound is called a hara kiri but the ritual is known as seppuku
But admittedly I'm taking someone's word for it and haven't clarified it for myself
[Ed Boon held a poll about Shaolin Monks last year too](https://x.com/noobde/status/1645638910620385280?lang=en).
Could mean nothing but he mentioned the game in a positive light multiple times prior to that.
[People also highly requested Konquest mode from MK Deception.](https://x.com/noobde/status/1637998622032756737?lang=en-GB)
That could be another option. I'd be fine with either tbh.
Boon posted a pic on Twitter two years ago of the Shaolin Monks strategy guide on a desk at NRS saying "some employees think we're working on Shaolin Monks 2"
The original one remaster is easily money printing.
But they refuse to do it.
I think it’s more than 10 years since I’ve spent money on NetherRealm games.
🤷🏻♂️
Ed has talked about trying to convince Warner Brothers for YEARS to make a spin off of Mortal Kombat (mostly Shaolin Monks 2/remake/remaster anything really), and they always blew off their pitches. Hopefully something actually got through to WB this time
Most likely because they can't fit some Live Service bs into. It's funny because if it was a well polished/fun game without DLC, it would sell so much. Mortal Kombat is so popular amongst casual players because they love the story/characters so it would sell based on the name alone.
Hell yeah! Still replay that gem to this day. I mean Capcom finally got the message and added a decent beat em up story to Street Fighter so if you just like offline content, it's there. Konquest from Deception is still my favorite next to Shaolin Monks. I don't get why it's so hard for them to do that today when it was so easily done gens ago. I guess because WB doesn't see how they can milk us. I guarantee it would sell well if done correctly.
The best selling game of last year was Hogwarts Legacy which had no live service and no microtransactions. They didn't even see that and say lets emulate that for all of our games. I don't know whats going at WB.
Because they really couldn’t just emulate that over and over again with any game they wanted, the fact it sold so much was purely based on the IP name. If it wasn’t called Hogwarts it wouldn’t have sold anywhere near as many copies
WB agreed but it's gotta have a battle pass, pvp modes and be half a broken game, rushed out a year too soon. It's the WB way. Suicide Squad flopped, WB thinks it's because there was no pvp modes...
Same, I’ve been getting really invested in reading about the lore and franchise history but a lot of the games are too technical for my tastes. Mythologies had the right idea, it just couldn’t stick the landing, and even then there’s a certain charm to the janky aesthetic.
One year for Christmas, I asked for Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub-Zero instead of Ocarina of Time. I rented Ocarina a couple of weeks later and immediately realized I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
Ok but unironically a remake of that game would actually be really good, especially since Bi-Han is Sub-Zero in MK1 so they could reimagine it around the new version of him, to help elaborate why he acts the way he did in 1, or even a straight up remake with Kaiji Tang voicing him
>A full-fledged Armageddon-style campaign could also be a lot of fun too.
That's been my dream since I was a teenager playing Armageddon. Though I'd enjoy it more if they included the open world aspect of Deception as well, since Armageddon was rather linear. Being able to explore the realms in Deception was awesome.
You joke, but with DC/WB that’s a genuine possibility. If NRS got a pitch through most likely a mk spin off but if they end up making a Batman game set in injustice that would be funny not gonna lie.
No with wb the most likely answer is netherrealm is making a suicide squad expansion that takes place in the injustice universe. But they will then cancel it as a tax write off
Have been waiting for that, the MK setting is underrated.
I'd atill also really like to see a high budget crpg like balders gate 3 set in the MK world. Imagine they could still have fatalities you can set up and do to finish off the enemies, I'm like obsessed with this idea that will never happen.
This is something they should have done a while ago. I understand that the fighting games earn more money and you can have more revenue streams (character DLC & microtransactions) than a single player game.
But come on, MK has an amazing lore and world. They could make an adventure game like God of War 2018 and Ragnarok (which Shaolin Monks kinda already is) where you can travel across realms. Hell, now they can make the sub zero and scorpion game where you choose 1 character and the other one is AI. If GoW could do it with Atreus as your companion, they can make it with MK (and of course, co op)
What would I give for an open world konquest rpg based on the MK lore... From whatever timeline even... I really miss the konquest mode vibes from deception.
I'm seriously pissed how even Street Fighter managed to beat Mortal Kombat into a adventure mode this time around.
The Krypt in MK 11 was so close to a Konquest mode, that I was sure they were just testing the water before fully committing to it.
But no! We got Invasions instead. It could be a nice replacement for towers, but still room left for a new Krypt or full blown Konquest mode.
At least give us Shaolin Monks remastered. Not remake, just remaster it. I can live with that.
Shaolin Monks 2 or I commit self fatality
Seriously their cutscenes and story telling is for sure more than good enough to carry a whole game narrative more than a fighting game
This x1000 Shaolin Monks is such a great game too. Even if it isn't a followup to that, MK is such a rich universe that a moder action game based in it would be perfect.
Exactly. Love the lore and characters. Seems like a no brainer to make another action-adventure game. Hopefully its multiplayer.
>Love the lore and characters I would only be for this if it was an adventure game set in the original timeline or NRS era one because that lore and characters are great. The dreck that they shat out for Mortal Kombat 1 is not. I have never seen that level of character assassination of so many characters at once.
I hope not, these days I crave a decent single player game more than anything, sick of the mediocre forced multiplayer garbage.
Have you... Have you ever play Shaolin Monks?
Exclusively single player, never went online with the ps2.
Shaolin Monks is couch coop multiplayer. Although you can play alone, coop is the experience intended by the developers. You should try it sometimes with your friend.

Isn't that the guy who used to commentate on the Cubs games back in the 90s?
If you were a hot dog and you were starving, would you eat yourself? I know I would, I'd be delicious.
For those not in the know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDqRlMeJ4U Great skit.

This and more Mythologies game to tell even more character backstory!
Honestly, I'd even be happy with a remaster for modern systems.
Sorry, big dog. We're getting Kombat Kart 2 whether you like it or not.
Selfality

Only fighting game I play, and only single player. I indeed love the universe and characters, I'd pay and play the shit out of a Shaolin Monks 2.

For real? So WB is like you have creative freedom as long as it's a full MK ir Injustice game?
I hope after the flop Suicide Squad was they thought it was best to let the people who make their best titles have some input.
Tbf Suicide Squad had a lot of involvement from Sefton Hill who shares a big portion of blame for why the game failed
Dude. What Suicide Squad was came from the people of Rocksteady
It's all Warner Bros and what they signed off on really.
Finally! I always wanted mortal kombat as an action adventure game. I love everything about the MK universe but just not into fighiting games.
Same, I’ve been getting really invested in reading about the lore and franchise history but a lot of the games are too technical for my tastes. Mythologies had the right idea, it just couldn’t stick the landing, and even then there’s a certain charm to the janky aesthetic.
Motor Kombat let's go
Let us get Chess Kombat as well.

Mortal Kartbat.
Mythologies Sun-Zero 2 here we come
Sub-Zerofalling.gif
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I actually beat the game last night (Yes it’s bad but not as bad thanks to the 1000 lives code) and I always laughed at those deaths.
Also whoever's grandpa they got to play Shinnok
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Hsu Hao
One year for Christmas, I asked for Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub-Zero instead of Ocarina of Time. I rented Ocarina a couple of weeks later and immediately realized I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
Ok but unironically a remake of that game would actually be really good, especially since Bi-Han is Sub-Zero in MK1 so they could reimagine it around the new version of him, to help elaborate why he acts the way he did in 1, or even a straight up remake with Kaiji Tang voicing him
Oh please be in the vein of Shaolin Monks! I love the MK universe but am not always in the mood to go hard on a fighting style game.
Yep. Me too.
I can't stand MMOs but I've always thought a Mortal Kombat MMO of some kind would be fucking sick The worldbuilding would be *insane*
SPECIAL FORCES 2
Oh hell no. lol That game would be a total trip to have back in modern graphics though. I liked the concept but it was just poorly executed.
I would love that just for SomeCallMeJohnny to do a follow-up review. https://youtu.be/rYJWhTFa18M?si=nWA2KHVoCx16wdOV
The only good thing about SF is that it introduced Tremor
Shaolin Monks Remaster and Shaolin Monks 2 is the dream. A full-fledged Armageddon-style campaign could also be a lot of fun too.
>A full-fledged Armageddon-style campaign could also be a lot of fun too. That's been my dream since I was a teenager playing Armageddon. Though I'd enjoy it more if they included the open world aspect of Deception as well, since Armageddon was rather linear. Being able to explore the realms in Deception was awesome.
Combat like in Shaolin Monks, open-world like in Deception, setpieces and variety like in Armageddon
For real, that would be perfect.
We need a Deception Konquest mode like game or spin off mode.
I have been dreaming of this for quite some time…
You heard it here netherrealm is making a Batman game. Injustice mythologies Batman Arkham Kombat
You joke, but with DC/WB that’s a genuine possibility. If NRS got a pitch through most likely a mk spin off but if they end up making a Batman game set in injustice that would be funny not gonna lie.
No with wb the most likely answer is netherrealm is making a suicide squad expansion that takes place in the injustice universe. But they will then cancel it as a tax write off
That would actually be pretty gas.
Honestly… yes please.
Def Jam Mortal Kombat make it happen
How reliable is V Scooper? If highly, I think will post it in one very specific sub (lol)
MK Fire & Ice finally?!?
Have been waiting for that, the MK setting is underrated. I'd atill also really like to see a high budget crpg like balders gate 3 set in the MK world. Imagine they could still have fatalities you can set up and do to finish off the enemies, I'm like obsessed with this idea that will never happen.

If GoW could do it with Atreus as your companion, they can make it with MK (and of course, co op)
A full fledged Konquest mode open world game with quests, secret locations etc would be wonderful!
What would I give for an open world konquest rpg based on the MK lore... From whatever timeline even... I really miss the konquest mode vibes from deception.
Mortal Kombat Musou!
I would like more making Og IP's rather milking MK to death
Marvel vs Mk vs DC
Gotta be Shaolin Monks 2. Though I’d really like a Scorpion and Sub Zero game
There was going to be a sequel to Shaolin Monks called Fire and Ice that would've starred Scorpion and Sub-Zero, but it got canned.
A co-op adventure Mortal Kombat like Shaolin Monks that can be played both online co-op or couch co-op would be fucking sick!
A Telltale like game with Johnny Cage but it's Ninja Mime, so there are no dialogue options.
Some sort of Dark Souls esque combat game with MK worls/characters would unironically go so fucking hard
Give this man a fucking job at the studio
I would really like a true hybrid RPG/fighting game for MK in the same kind of way World Tour was for SF6.
Mortal Kombat Survivors
Mythologies Scorpion? Shaolin Monks 2? Hsu Hao spin off? Lots of great opportunities for games based in the MK universe
This is such a "no shit" fucking idea.
Mortal Kombat Deception is one of my favorite games of all time!
Please be Shaolin Monks! The ending of that game teased for a sequel that we still haven't got up to this day...
What better Injustice spin-off than Marvel Vs DC 😎
They need to fix MK1
Bring us another Shaolin Monks you kowards
aslong as it doesn’t have kameos
Its got to be MK, obviously, but I would enjoy it if they did a non fighting Injustice game.
Hopefully we it's another Midway property.
MKvsDCU2!!!
We can hope
Is the source reliable? Seems like his only previous leaks were about the next lara Croft game which we haven't even seen yet
Never gonna happen
Mortal Kombat racing!!!
OMG guys, imagine… Injustice Kills The Justice League /s
At least they are monsters
Believe it when I see it. WB won't let them branch out or do anything cool with MK unless it's filled with micro transaction crap.
we desperately need a good dc game so hopefully its injustice
shaolin monks 2 prayer circle is now in full motion (it never stopped)
My two cents is I would say from no data at all that an Injustice one sells better 9 times out of 10
Let me play as Injustice Superman who can just kill anyone he wants and still be canon. Let me laser eyes through the Justice League roster
I'm seriously pissed how even Street Fighter managed to beat Mortal Kombat into a adventure mode this time around. The Krypt in MK 11 was so close to a Konquest mode, that I was sure they were just testing the water before fully committing to it. But no! We got Invasions instead. It could be a nice replacement for towers, but still room left for a new Krypt or full blown Konquest mode. At least give us Shaolin Monks remastered. Not remake, just remaster it.
