Last weekend, Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon launched a discussion within the fighting game community. The developers published a new poll on social media.
He asked players which game they would like to revive. Four options were offered, and the votes were distributed as follows (more than 60 thousand users participated in the poll in total):
- 2XKO — 17.4%
- Killer Instinct — 49.9%
- MultiVersus — 24.6%
- RumbleVerse — 8%
The Killer Instinct franchise became the leader in the number of votes. The last full-fledged new installment of Killer Instinct was released in 2013 on the Xbox One console. Subsequently, the game made its way to PC and Steam. The fighting game's record peak online in Valve's service was 847 players, and recently it has been maintained within 50 – 60 users.
It is noteworthy that the Injustice franchise was not included in the list presented by Ed Boon. Some players are confident that a hypothetical "Injustice 3" is currently in development, but NetherRealm Studios itself has not yet confirmed anything.
