If you\u2019re one of those Twitter<\/a>-types that follows developers, you will have noticed a titillating little tweet coming from Mortal Kombat creator, Ed Boon, teasing his followers about an \u201cunexpected surprise\u201d coming from NetherRealm studios.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t say what it is, obviously, because that would totally take the wind out of the hype-ship\u2019s sails \u2013 but he did at least let us know that the announcement had nothing to do with Mortal Kombat 9.<\/p>\n

(Protip: that doesn\u2019t preclude another Mortal Kombat \u2013 just the latest number 9)<\/p>\n

Iiiiinteresting.<\/p>\n

The most fun thing to do with developers\u2019 tweets is to go out on a limb to speculate as much as possible \u2013 personally, I would love to see something entirely new coming from the studio.<\/p>\n

NetherRealm was set up as Warner Bros.<\/a> Chicago in 2010, after WB acquired the assets for Mortal Kombat, amongst others, from Midway going bankrupt.<\/p>\n

Along for the ride came the IPs for Spy Hunter, The Suffering and Wheelman \u2013 so really, not cancelling out any other old Midway IPs and assets, it could be anything; but which would be most \u201cunexpected\u201d?<\/p>\n

As ever, we\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
