Mortal Kombat still has more spine-ripping to do.

      NetherRealm is already working on another Mortal Kombat installment, even as other franchise projects are in development.

      Mortal Kombat 1 will not be the final entry for NetherRealm. Following the 2023 reboot, Ed Boon mentioned in an interview with Collider that the team is “definitely pursuing another Mortal Kombat game,” signaling to players that the series is still vibrant.

      While NetherRealm has confirmed that they are moving in a specific direction, they have not disclosed any details about the title, release window, platforms, character roster, or plot. The upcoming Mortal Kombat game is acknowledged as being in development, but it is not at a stage where details can be revealed.

      Current Insights

      Boon’s update has provided fans with assurance following Mortal Kombat 1. NetherRealm is not viewing the 2023 release as an endpoint and is not allowing uncertainty to dictate the franchise's future.

      The language used matters. Boon did not clarify how the next installment will relate to Mortal Kombat 1, if it does connect at all. This leaves room for speculation but also establishes a clear distinction between confirmed development and mere hopes.

      For the time being, it can be safely inferred that another Mortal Kombat game is in pursuit while the specifics are still under wraps.

      Beyond Just Games

      While the upcoming game is the main focus, NetherRealm appears to have broader plans beyond a single sequel. Boon stated that the team is “definitely doing more as well,” mentioning they have “a lot of pots on the stove.”

      This activity is not limited to games. Boon indicated that they are exploring other media, which aligns with a franchise that already navigates between fighting games and films. This also clarifies why he refrained from confirming titles like Injustice 3, even as he hinted at forthcoming announcements.

      NetherRealm is managing expectations while limiting their confirmations. This leaves the next Mortal Kombat game as the most concrete detail amidst a largely unexposed lineup.

      What’s on the Horizon

      Fans should anticipate the next official announcement rather than attempting to infer a timeline from Boon’s comments. He alluded to “a lot of great announcements that are coming,” but NetherRealm has not attached specific names or dates to many of these plans.

      This creates excitement for the upcoming phase, but it’s easy to misinterpret. Until NetherRealm provides a reveal of the next Mortal Kombat game, Boon’s insights should be seen as an indication of direction rather than timing.

      GTA 6’s production budget seems so astronomically high that it’s hard to believe.

      GTA 6 could surpass the costs of entire movie franchises.

      Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in development at Rockstar Games for quite some time. After a decade of creating one of the most anticipated video games ever, the costs are escalating. In a recent profile from Business Insider featuring Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, the executive did not disclose the exact cost of GTA 6, only confirming that it has been “expensive.” However, analysts estimate that the total expenses could range between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

      The Desktop Paradox: I finally understand why gamers hesitate before going OLED.

      It’s not the cost, nor the hype—it's that one lingering concern you just can’t shake.

      It’s 2026, and the OLED revolution has officially arrived on our desks. Not just seen in flashy ads or YouTube thumbnails, but present in your shopping cart. You’ve likely hovered over that “Buy Now” button at least once, considered the price, envisioned your setup glowing beautifully… and then quietly closed the tab.

      The reality is that everyone agrees OLED is the finest display technology available. It’s the ultimate standard. It’s what transforms TVs into stunning visuals and makes smartphones feel luxurious. With deep blacks, incredible contrast, and instantaneous response times, it’s what gamers boast about. Yet, for something so outstanding, it’s surprisingly absent from many desks.

      Valve's sold-out Steam Controller has now become a modder's haven.

      Valve is allowing fans to modify the design of the Steam Controller.

      The newly released Steam Controller from Valve has already sold out. However, the company is making headlines by providing access to the design files. Valve has released the CAD renders for the Steam Controller's shell, enabling users to download the exterior design and create custom accessories or casing concepts.

      Why this is significant.
