The next game by Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios has yet to be officially announced, but it seems like fans will not have to wait much longer not only for a reveal but also for an actual release.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
"Should Be Studio's Longest Supported Title"
Which isn't saying much. MK11 was supposed to be supported for several years, with NRS even claiming that the pandemic wouldn't deter any of their momentum. Only for them to ditch the game barely after two years (with them going radio silent for numerous months with those years), with no updates on future titles since. It wasn't like MK11 didn't sell millions of copies.
NRS needs to look to Capcom (SFV) and Namco (Tekken 7) in terms of supporting a fighting game for the long haul.
I prefer Shaolin Monks 2, instead of Injustice 3...
I heard somewhere that he pretty much confirmed mk12 in 2023. Best year in fighting game history? SF6 and T8 look amazing. MK12 has had extra long to bake so it better be dope.
It better be MK XII, needs to be U5 and bloody as fk
Injustice is irrelevant
Doesn't hurt if they change the fighting control scheme in to something more fluid and linked, not just individual button presses
I’d love shaolin monks 2 or mk12. Sorry but injustice sucks.
