Wonder if we're gonna get MK9 2, or if they're gonna continue this universe where Liu Kang is the God of Earth and there's other changes.
I was hoping more for continuing where MK11 left off, perhaps a Great Kung Lao story (since it's that far back in the past), but (IMO) Boon made it sound like more of an MK9 2 type of thing.
They wrote themselves into a corner like they did with Armageddon, and the next game will probably be them trying to explain / unfvck the story of the reset button by Kronika in MK11.
Could he be referring to Kombat Pack 2? I would hardly call that a big surprise, everyone and their mothers know it's coming.
2020 *is* the year next-gen consoles appear. Perhaps a PS5/X-Box Next edition with some extra goodies?
A story DLC?
Some additional mode which will knock everyone's socks off?
A remake of the first MK ala Super Street Fighter II Turbo Remix?
He could be exaggerating … we'll see.
My guess is that it's KP2, because although it's not a surprise to us due to the data mining, it probably would have been had the whole Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, Sindel, Joker, Terminator, Spawn, Sheeva, Fujin and Ash intro lines not been discovered.
An Ultra / Ultimate / XL / Komplete Edition is also possible, but not really a surprise according to NRS habits of doing that for MK9, Inj1, MKX and Inj2.
Story DLC? Possible, but I think that if they're going to do a side-story thing that another Shaolin Monks seems more possible.
The thing is not that Boon is exaggerating, but rather that we live in a day of information where things get spoiled, so again, something that may have already be spoiled to us (like Sheeva, Fujin and Ash) could have been planned as a surprise, initially.
