Whether this project is Injustice 3, a Marvel fighting game or a totally unrelated new game, NetherRealm is always trusted to deliver intense combat for gamers to enjoy. However, NetherRealm Studios was sure to inform fans that it is pushing ahead on an exciting new project. Mortal Kombat fans are surely saddened by the end of Mortal Kombat 11's long-running and well-received downloadable content.
It is unclear whether these are hints at future projects, or simply musings of the developer. The rumors mostly stem from Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who has released a recent series of tweets which make reference to Marvel's vast gallery of superheroes and villains. While reference to the studio's next project likely points to Injustice 3, rumors suggest that the developer may actually be working on a fighting game for DC's long-time rival Marvel Comics. Outside of Mortal Kombat, NetherRealm Studios is also known for developing the DC Comics fighting game series Injustice. NetherRealm's statement confirms that the developer is now " focusing on its next project," with fans speculating about what exactly that project may entail. These additions include series veterans, such as Rain and Mileena, alongside guest stars such as The Terminator and Robocop. The bittersweet announcement comes after two long years of support, during which NetherRealm added twelve additional characters to the game's roster.

The game's downloadable content has included twelve additional playable characters, additional stages, and a single-player story expansion. After more than two years of releasing post-launch content, NetherRealm Studios is officially ending support for Mortal Kombat 11.
