Ed Boon's enigmatic tweet suggests potential for Kombat Pack 3 for Mortal Kombat XL

With the announcement that NetherRealm Studios is busy at work with Injustice 2, to be released in 2017, much of the Mortal Kombat community is now wondering if the company is looking to update Mortal Kombat XL just one more time.


With as big as the last update was, which effectively changed the name of the game from MKX to MKXL, we wouldn't be surprised if NRS deemed it the final send off for the tenth Mortal Kombat, but a tweet today from team lead Ed Boon gives us hope for one more:

A confirming statement? Not at all, but the fact that Boon would bring up KP3 in this way for no reason at all seems pretty unlikely.

As many NRS game players know, Boon often keeps the community vaguely informed with leading tweets like the one above. Bringing in new characters almost always sees something of a bump in general interest for a game, and we have over six months to wait for the next big NRS title.

It wouldn't be too much of a reach to see a third Kombat Pack come out. Is this what the community wants though, or do you feel it's better if NRS puts all their resources into creating Injustice 2 as quickly and efficiently as possible? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
