Dev. Mortal Kombat Is Making Fighting Game Marvel vs. DC?

NetherRealm Studios, the name of the developer who is widely known through the Mortal Kombat and Injustice franchises, seems to be preparing a new surprise behind the scenes. At least from a new rumor that emerged from information from a game industry insider named Daniel Richtman, there is news that the developer is developing a new fighting game that carries the name of the Marvel franchise.

Through the latest posts on the page Patreon His property, Richtman only confirmed that the Marvel fighting game project is already in development and is targeted for the new generation of console platforms. Following this information, several media outlets finally began to spread the information on social media and received a response from journalist Ben Hanson. He responded to these rumors by uploading a short clip from an interview with Ed Boon, who also happened to be discussing the idea of a Marvel fighting game.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Ed Boon had already discussed with Marvel about the idea. Boon was initially hesitant to discuss it, but he later mentioned that making the fighting game Marvel vs. DC would probably be the coolest idea to implement. Not only that, Boon once confirmed through interview with Geoff Keighley if there are projects other than Mortal Kombat and Injustice that are still being worked on in secret.

Hearing the news talk about us having “lost a year” and soon fully vaccinated people can travel overseas with life getting back to normal…
Feels like we’re returning from the Marvel BLIP.

To add to the speculation, account Twitter Ed Boon’s official lately seems to be starting to add some sort of “reference” related to Marvel. Coincidence or not, his Twitter account has always been a hotbed for teaser after teaser for a project or a secret announcement that NetherRealm Studios is currently preparing.

All of this is of course still just a rumor, so we can only be patient waiting for an official announcement in the future. Will the E3 2021 event be the moment to announce the game? we’ll just wait.
