Will we lastly get a Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks sequel?
During the last three many years, the Mortal Kombat franchise has established a roster of beloved characters. Favorites like Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage have turn into family names, however it may be argued that Scorpion and Sub-Zero is perhaps the 2 most vital within the collection. The rivalry between the 2 ninjas has been a key a part of the Mortal Kombat narrative since 1992, and if collection creator Ed Boon has his method, the 2 characters will take the highlight in their very own spin-off sport. In a current social media put up, Boon addressed the potential of a Shaolin Monks fashion spin-off, and which characters would star.Â
“Surely, if (when?) we do one, will probably be Scorpion and Sub-zero,” Boon wrote on X/Twitter.Â
Sadly, that does not make it sound like a spin-off is within the fast plans for the long run, however hopefully it is one thing that does find yourself getting made. The rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero performed a pivotal function within the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot film, and that story will proceed within the upcoming sequel. Boon didn’t go into element about whether or not a possible spin-off sport would discover the previous between these characters, or if it might happen within the current day of the MK continuity.Â
The unique Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was launched in 2005 on PlayStation 2 and the unique Xbox. Not like the primary collection video games, Shaolin Monks was a beat ’em up that featured Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Through the years, the sport has constructed a passionate following, and followers have lengthy been hoping to see a sequel or remaster. Boon has been tossing gasoline on these flames for a number of years now, so followers should not take this newest put up about Scorpion and Sub-Zero as direct proof {that a} new sport is within the works.Â
Unsurprisingly, Boon’s remark acquired quite a lot of approval from Mortal Kombat followers! Placing Mortal Kombat’s most marketable characters entrance and middle could be a sensible method of reviving the spin-off, and will generate curiosity even amongst people who by no means performed the primary sport. For now, MK followers are simply going to have to attend patiently and hope that Shaolin Monks lastly will get its overdue revival!Â
