You’re laughing… I can’t beat laggy Geras… and you’re laughing
DC Comics’Joker isn’t even live inMortal Kombat 11yet, andalreadyThe Clown Prince of Crime is making mischief.In a recent clip on theMKTwitter, Joker is seen preparing to square off against himself, and is bemused by his mirror image. “Only two of us? What an injustice!” Joker cries. To which his doppelganger replies “Imagine what we could do with a third…”
This exchange immediately led to some folk springing to the conclusion that a third title in theInjusticeseries (also developed by NetherRealm Studios) is currently in development. ButMKco-creator Ed Boontook to Twittera little later to stifle that rumour, stating, “This Joker dialog is not hinting at anything related toInjustice. Any reference is purely coincidental.”
Coincidental? Well, hardly. The reference isclearlyintentional. But was it anInjustice 3confirmation? I doubt it. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have both gone on record on how much they are backingMortal Kombat 11, with big plans from both a DLC and competitive scene standpoint. Personally, I’d be surprised if NetherRealm were working on anything other thanMK 11‘s future right now.
Speaking of Joker,MKfans will get the opportunity to see the colourful psycho broken down in detail this afternoon, when NetherRealm streams its first Kombat Kast of 2020. The stream begins at 13:00 PT / 16:00 ET / 22:00 BST, and will take a long look at Joker, his moves, gear, finishers, kombo potential, and more. You can watch it liveover on the NRS Twitch channel.
