Board Thread:Mortal Kombat (Alternate Timeline)/@comment-5503721-20191121203612/@comment-422853-20191121230549

To continue where the last thread left off, I'll say I agree that Armageddon was a franchise killer. All the interviews and evidence at the time too pointed at it originally intending to be the last game, and then Midway would try to focus more on other projects, but then they were approached by WB to do a crossover which was how MKvsDC came to be, and although it didn't do too well as hoped (not enough to save Midway from bankruptcy anyway), WB still saw potential in them and bought them out, and for better or worse, have been stuck with em ever since.

Apart from the half-baked fanservice that Armageddon had, many (myself included) felt it was a major step down from Deception. Everything about it was rushed which killed much of the goodwill and world build that MKD had.

As for the Tertiary timeline, I really have no expectations in spite of what people are hoping to see. Has pretty much been confirmed regardless that we'll be here with MK11 getting continued support longer than the average game, so speculation for what comes next will take kind of a backseat for me. An attempt at a HD MK1-3 remake not being cancelled for once would be nice though. Can say I'm more cautiously optimistic for the reboot movie at least after the last character namedrops for it.
