On the Marvel side, you’ve got Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, the Wasp, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver. Think about it, with only 10 heroes from DC, that’s basically the original 7 leaguers plus some staples like Shazam, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Atom, or Hawkman. To me, that seems like an incredibly shallow roster. Half of the Marvel cast would likely be villains too, and same goes for the portion of the roster dedicated to DC characters.īased on current numbers, that means ≈ 10 heroes and 10 villains from each franchise.

At first, it sounds awesome, why wouldn’t it? Well, if we’re looking at it like any other NRS project, we would be expecting a roster size of around 35-40 playable characters. Capcom series reigned supreme in the past, but in recent years, the series has not reached the level of what is seen in Injustice and Mortal Kombat.Įd Boon couldn't say a lot, but he did give a lot of hope to fans without giving away too much else.I hope that I’m not the only one who feels this way, but if the reports are to be believed and NRS is developing a Marvel fighting game, I really don’t want it to be Marvel vs DC. Of course, fans of Marvel Comics would love to see some of those characters step into an arena and take on other favorites. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Joker, and many others destroy one another in different arenas and offer up justice in bloody fashion. With the game's release inching ever closer, he sat down to speak with Game Informer, and he certainly revealed some things that most fans thought they would never hear.īoon is also the director for the Injustice franchise, which essentially takes the Mortal Kombat framework and incorporates DC Comics characters. That's why gamers are sitting up and listening, now that he has admitted he'd like to create a Marvel fighting game - or one that pits Marvel characters up against those in the DC Universe.įor months, Ed Boon has revealed new and old characters, gameplay footage, and more from Mortal Kombat 11. The brutal and bloody franchise has been successful for decades, and co-creator Ed Boon knows what the fans like. In just a few weeks, Mortal Kombat 11 will be released, and the world will be able to continue enjoying their favorite fighting series.
