While plenty are excited for Mortal Kombat 1, the confusingly titled next entry in the MK series by NetherRealm Studios, which is releasing sooner than we expected, we\u2019re so used to developers announcing games a year or so before their release, but that doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t gonna show some love to their other fighting game series in the future.<\/p>\n

Injustice 3 will likely still happen. Concerns were raised when people realized NetherRealm went with another entry to Mortal Kombat after MK11. They\u2019ve been consistent with jumping between it and the Injustice series.<\/p>\n

During an IGN interview, though, they popped the question of whether the franchise is over with, to which Ed Boon simply responded with a simple \u201cnot at all.\u201d The two reasons they stepped passed Injustice 3 was because of COVID reasons as well as upgrading the engine from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really wanted to be careful with COVID and all that stuff and everybody staying safe. So there were a bunch of variables involved that eventually we realised, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s do another Mortal Kombat game and hopefully we\u2019ll get back to the Injustice games.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mortal Kombat 1 is due out current-gen consoles on September 19.<\/p>\n
