Not in a while, unfortunately. I don't keep in regular contact with him, he's not into social media that much (which is odd for a game developer). I only ever run into him from time to time on Battle.net or Steam, I don't even know his PS4/XOne IDs.

When last we left off he assured me the work that Pesina was doing and tweeting about was for more MKX content, but I expect there would've been some more info by now if that were the case. He's not deliberately shady with me (i.e. like Boon would be) but he's careful about what he tells me, and I don't blame him. He knows I post here.

I think if we do get a reveal it'll be Sunday after the MKXL Tourny. Here's to hoping!!

Right on, Frabn. Thanks for the response.

Here's to hoping we get an MKX finale announcement Sunday!

Having seen the Warcraft movie, I wouldn't mind an Orc being a guest. They are kind of similar to Goro. Funny how these fantasy characters are perfect for the MK universe, yet they continue to shy away from using these types.

Naw how are they perfect for the MK universe?

Havoc, Sareena, Kabal, Sindel, Nightwolf that is what MK needs.

So is the big Mortal Kombat news that they were adding 50,000$ to the pot?

Finals are tomorrow morning...

I'm worried though... Boon doesn't seem to be in Vegas.

I wish they'd announce Shaolin Monks or something like that but I think its like the main article says. Boon teased Evo news and then he announced Evo news. Injustice is here.

So he teases it clearly and nothing happens?

What did he "tease clearly" regarding EVO within the past month? It was confirmed a month ago that the "huge MKX news" that Boon hinted at was that NRS was giving SonicFox an additional $50,000 when he wins EVO.

Don't forget the multiple tweets and polls regarding additional content between then and now.

Also mainly the "Some people think Injustice 2 killed KP3" or whatever it was he said exactly that really ignited the flame of KP3 rumblings. He definitely led people on as per usual with his unique phrasing of things and joking around.

Of course nothing was announced. When will you all learn to not take Boon's bait?

Sure, but he never once led anyone to believe that announcement was being made at EVO. He made the Evo tweet, followed it up with the announcement for EVO, then everyone decided to ignore the pot bonus tweet and work themselves up.

Boon is a troll, we all know this. Hell, it's one of the reasons I like him, but at some point, all these people looking around for someone to blame about their disappointment has to start taking some personal responsibility.

"@MK9Scorpion2011 @noobde what was the MKX Cool News at EVO? I missed it :/

Lol soooo yeah.

Always remember the other side of the coin: Boon DOES post serious tweets. All of those questionnaires, hints, and notions just pertaining MKXL? Getting people excited about the game again? For what? Nothing? It's okay to be skeptical, but don't be willfully ignorant.

•07/19/2016 05:27 AM (UTC) •

Let the speculation continue.

Big patch. Sindel and Rain.

That's my guess.
