Message to NetherRealm Studios / Ed Boon — Mortal Kombat Definitive Vision (English Version)

Hello NetherRealm Studios team, and hello Ed Boon,

My name is Daniel Vasques Martins, and I am a Brazilian fan from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
I have been passionate about Mortal Kombat since the classic Midway era, and over the years I have imagined a complete vision for what could one day become the definitive and ultimate Mortal Kombat game.

Below is my full concept — a tribute to the legacy of Midway and to everything Mortal Kombat has built across games, comics, movies, and animations.

🔥 1. Creative Direction Inspired by Midway

• No guest characters from external franchises.
• Total focus on Mortal Kombat lore, characters, history, and world-building.
• A long-term project, not rushed by frequent release schedules.
• A “passion project” developed with creative freedom, similar to the Midway era.

🔥 2. Massive Playable Roster

A monumental roster of 136 main playable characters, including:
• Every classic fighter across the franchise’s history.
• Every major boss as a fully playable character (Kronika, Onaga, Blaze, Shinnok, Corrupted Shinnok, Shao Kahn, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Moloch, Belokk, etc.).
• Rare characters from comics, TV series, and expanded media.
• New characters integrated into MK lore.
• Many characters available as both main fighters and Kameos.

Special inclusion:
✨ The One Being — as a DLC playable character AND the extra final boss.

🔥 3. Scenarios and Stage Variety

• 900 classic stages recreated and remastered.
• Stage transitions similar to MK Trilogy and MK Armageddon.
• Return of classic Stage Fatalities + new ones.
• Return of Test Your Might, Test Your Luck, Test Your Sight, Test Your Strike.

🔥 4. Gameplay Philosophy

Combining the iconic styles of MK9, MKXL, and MK11.
Including:
• Customization system similar to MK11 (without lootbox pressure).
• Tag Team mode returning (2, 3, or 4 players offline).
• Full Towers of Challenges + bonus towers like MK9 PS Vita.

🔥 5. Story Mode (Open-World + Chapters + Cutscenes)

A new story trilogy:

Parts 1 & 2 – New Generation
Main protagonists:
• The children of Liu Kang & Kitana (new rulers of Edenia).
• The daughter of Jade & Kotal Kahn.
• The son of Jade & Kung Lao.

These young warriors are trained by:
Bo' Rai Cho, Ashrah, Raiden (God), Liu Kang (God), Geras, Madame Bo, Grand Kung Lao, Hanzo Hasashi, Takeda (from MK Conquest, resurrected), Kuai Liang, and Smoke.

Part 3 – Final Arc
• Liu Kang (Human King) and Kitana (Queen) as final protagonists.
• Assisted by Fire God Liu Kang and Thunder God Raiden as non-playable story Kameos.
• Final battle against The One Being.

🔥 6. Bosses and Titans

• Titans from the endings of Scorpion, Sonya Blade and Shang Tsung appear as secret bosses.
• Similar to Akuma in Tekken 7 or Galactus in UMVC3.
• Titans are playable in a special mode.

🔥 7. Modes and Features

• Return of the Krypt (MK11 + MK Deception style).
• Return of mini-games from both Midway and NRS eras.
• Massive list of finishers like MK Trilogy:

Fatalities

Brutalities

Animalities

Friendships

Faction Kills

Hara-Kiri

⭐ Closing Statement

This vision is a celebration of Mortal Kombat’s legacy — a project built with passion, nostalgia, and respect for everything Midway and NetherRealm created.
I hope these suggestions can inspire future ideas for the franchise.
