A Change.org petition urging Warner Bros. and Netherrealm Studios to remaster Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) has surpassed 1,000 signatures. Many fans consider this title the best in the franchise, and its unavailability on modern platforms fuels nostalgia-driven demand. The petition's creator highlights the game's absence from Steam and older console limitations, preventing many from experiencing it.

Despite Enthusiastic Fan Support, a Remaster Remains Unlikely

Significant Hurdles to Overcome

Future Mortal Kombat Fights: A Fan's Wish

While the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot had mixed reception regarding its action sequences, the upcoming sequel offers a chance to improve upon past shortcomings.

PostsLicensing rights pose a major obstacle. Warner Bros.'s 2020 removal of MK9 from Steam, possibly due to lost rights to Freddy Krueger (2019), complicates a remaster. Re-including Freddy or Kratos (from God of War) would require navigating complex licensing agreements.

Technically, Netherrealm Studios Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon acknowledges the challenge. As reported by Event Hubs, remaking older titles necessitates a complete rebuild using current technology.

Hope Remains

While fan support alone is insufficient, Netherrealm Studios remains open to the idea of remakes. Boon expressed interest in revisiting titles like Mortal Kombat 2 or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with modern technology.
