However, what really caught people's eyes weren't the Fatalities themselves, but which character the Fatalities were executed on, and that character was none other than the grey male Ninja and Lin Kuei warrior, Smoke, particularity in his Cyber-Smoke version. The official WB Games UK & Ireland Twitter page has posted a fun little Tweet in which in they ask the followers which of Kotal Kahn's Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate they think is more brutal. You can check out the whole interview right here. At this point, I’ll get in a lot of trouble if I say anything more". I can tell you there was a reason for it, and when we announce our next game, it’ll make a lot more sense. When we broke that pattern, there was a lot of speculation of what we would be doing next. "I can say that for 10 years, we were releasing Mortal Kombat and Injustice, Mortal Kombat and Injustice. And while Boon didn't confirm what the next game is going to be, he said that once it is announced, we all understand why it will be just that. In this Interview, Boon talks about how he got into the gaming industry, his time working on pinball machines, his work on the Mortal Kombat games and much more.Īt the end of the interview, while not saying it directly, Boon essentially deconfirmed Injustice 3 as the next game being developed by NetherRealm Studios, as the pattern of Mortal Kombat and Injustice games has been broken. In the words of Atom from IJ2: "What a remarkable discovery"!Īll we can do now is wait and see if NetherRealm Studios and/or WB Games ever tell us the answer to this question.Ĭheck out the video from Ermaccer right here, enjoy.ĭid you like this update? Then follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Discord.Īs his Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) Hall of Fame induction is approaching, Game Informer has conducted an interview with Ed Boon.
It will be interesting to know why these Brutalities were scrapped from the final game, as the idea of IJ2 having this feature is a pretty big deal. DC Universe, as they are indeed Brutal, but not necessarily fatal like the Mortal Kombat Fatalities or Brutalities. In this Brutality, Superman shoots the opponent 3 times with his Heat Vision, causing the opponent to fall to the ground, seemingly killing the opponent.Īs shown with both Brutalities from Superman and Supergirl, it's very clear that these Brutalities were planned to look like the Heroic Brutalities from Mortal Kombat Vs.
And finally, we have Superman's Brutality, which is the most complete one, with the opponent, or at least Deadshot (as he is the one shown in the video), having reaction voice to it. Supergirl's Brutality, while also remain in leftovers form, can be "manually" billed together again, as it is clear that the opponent's final defeat animation of that Brutality, in which the opponent remains stuck with his/her head and torso in the ground, is supposed to be attached to Supergirl's throw, in which Supergirl throw the opponent high into the sky, causing them to land on the ground, headfirst. However, did you know that Injustice 2 also had Brutalities, or at least they were planned to be included there?Īs discovered by a YouTuber named Ermaccer, IJ2 had a few, hidden and scrapped Brutalities for 3 characters: Aquaman, Supergirl and Superman, all whom were included in the roster for the IJ2 beta, which means that these were originally planned to be in the game, but then the whole idea was scrapped before the game's release, and these Brutalities were remain hidden in the game's files all along.Īs you can see in the video below, Aquaman's Brutality is just leftovers of it that only include Aquaman's winning pose and the opponent's final defeat animation. As you know, Mortal Kombat XL reintroduced the Brutalities as mid-match condition-based Finishers, rather than the long combo-based ones that they were in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and then they were brought back in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate.
