Rumors almost the Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm working on a Curiosity holding accept been reignited recently. The thought has been floating around for a couple years after Ed Benefaction was once asked about a possible human relationship with Marvel and gave a especially chary response. If those rumors are true, fans might exist in store for more than just "Injustice with Marvel characters." NetherRealm has pulled off some impressive, and previously seemingly impossible, crossovers and so the studio might be going for broke with admission to the Curiosity license.

Up elevation, whatsoever speculation well-nigh a possible Marvel vs. DC game is simply that: speculation. But with the recent resurgence of rumors nigh theMortal Kombat team working on a Marvel belongings many fans are wondering about what form that game could take. While it's probably more probable that if information technology is indeed working on a Curiosity game, it will stay a strictly Curiosity thing albeit with someMK crossover a laInjustice. And while the prospect of seeing Scorpion do battle with Marvel's resident revenant Ghost Rider is certainly appealing, NetherRealm is known for its ambitions; with no limits, what could information technology exist?

The Precedents for a Marvel Vs. DC Game

When most fighting game fans think about Curiosity crossovers, the first thought it isCuriosity Vs. Capcom. Afterwards a lackluster reception toCuriosity vs. CapcomSpace, though, the now-gargantuan entertainment company may be looking at other avenues to bring Curiosity characters into the fray. The biggest possible splash for a new Curiosity fighting game would be to run across its iconic characters battle against the other comic giant, DC. Barring the licensing issues that may arise from NetherRealm games being a part of Warner Bros. (likewise owning DC's rights), the crossover would likely garner huge attending. NetherRealm has already set itself a loftier bar forInjustice 3, and so if it's in fact working on a Marvel game, the expectations are likely already a factor.

Conceptually. about fans perceive Marvel and DC as in directly contest with each other, and that's largely truthful on screen/print. Obviously, the natural kind of fan arguments with Marvel versus DC isn't terms of their games, at least not yet, and so a crossover this big isn't something out of the ordinary. The two comic book giants have already collaborated on a huge crossover event in their comics dorsum in the 90s, with the outcomes of major battles like Superman against the Blob being decided by fan mandate. A modernistic crossover for the two would do a lot to generate the one matter that could easily propel the two to work together again, money. A Marvel vs. DC fighting game with the smoothen ofMK11 brought to its story and gameplay would depict in a large swath of fans beyond simply the more niche audition for fighting games.

And the squad at NetherRealm would already accept a groundwork for crafting a story due to the aforementioned comic event, just with theInjustice serial, the developer has already proven its merits in crafting stories of its own with licensed franchises. If any studio could manage to bring together Marvel and DC, it's likely the one that has already created games where the Xenomorph can boxing Leatherface or where Terminator and Robocop tin can duke information technology out. And with stakes as high as the total destruction of World already in its wheelhouse, NetherRealm could exist i of very few studios ambitious enough to tackle a Marvel vs. DC game.
