The FGC loves it when Ed Boon asks them things. Previously, the Mortal Kombat co-creator asked which game deserved a second chance.
This time, he is looking into the future.
Boon had two questions for the FGC. First: What would you want the next Mortal Kombat to be called? The choices were Mortal Kombat 13, Mortal Kombat 12, or Mortal Kombat 2.
Over 68,700 fans voted on this one. Most voted for Mortal Kombat 2 with over 45% of the clicks. Mortal Kombat 13 was next, then Mortal Kombat 12.
Boon joked in the replies: “Footnote: Some people are assuming the title with the most votes will determine where we take the story. That’s not the case. We’ve just had difficulty kounting lately…
He is not wrong. The titles have been all over the place, number-wise. But the numbers have always been intentional. The last game was Mortal Kombat 1 to represent a fresh new take on the fighting game’s universe, bringing fans into a new timeline. But calling the next one Mortal Kombat 2 may not guarantee that it will continue this storyline, apparently.
What would you want the next Mortal Kombat to be called?

The second question was perhaps even juicier: With two great Marvel fighting games being made by different teams. Which would you like to see come out next?”
This question pitted Marvel Tokkon 2 by Arc System Works against Marvel vs. Capcom 4.
The votes were a bit more one-sided this time. Of the over 52,800 votes, nearly 85% of fans wanted to see Marvel vs. Capcom 4 (including me).
Fans have been asking and speculating about Marvel vs. Capcom 4 for a while now. We haven’t had one since 2011, but many fans believe this would be the exact game Marvel needs to boost morale.
It was definitely fun to see the votes play out over the weekend. However, the results may not affect Boon and his team’s decisions. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to make your voice heard.
