Ed Boon, co-creator of the much-loved Mortal Kombat series and head of NetherRealm Studios, recently posted a tweet wherein he revealed that the video game developer is currently focused on the franchise's 30th anniversary. In the same tweet, Boon stated that the studio's next game announcement will happen in due time. However, he neglected to mention which game the studio will be releasing next, whether it is another Mortal Kombat title or Injustice 3. There have also been rumors that the Chicago-based studio will work is working on a Marvel vs. DC fighting game.
Earlier in the year, the Johnny Cage voice actor, Andrew Bowen, posted that said he is doing something with Warner Bros., NetherRealm's parent company. While this could have hinted at anything, the actor used Mortal Kombat 2 music as the video's background sound.
This, alongside the fact that the actor had earlier posted similar updates, strongly implied that NetherRealm Studios is working on another Mortal Kombat game. However, an Nvidia leak last year seemed to suggest that NetherRealm Studios is working on Injustice 3, which is scheduled for a January 3, 2023 release.
