Mortal Kombat Remasters may finally be back on the menu as Ed Boon himself has now sparked massive discussion online after asking fans one huge question: which game should get remastered FIRST, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks or Mortal Kombat 9? In this video we’re breaking down Boon’s brand new social media poll that has already pulled in over 21,000 votes, why Shaolin Monks is somehow narrowly beating MK9 despite Mortal Kombat 9 still being considered one of the greatest NetherRealm games ever made, and the growing speculation that NetherRealm Studios could finally be preparing to reveal a long rumored remaster project during Summer Game Fest or a potential PlayStation Showcase! From the ongoing debate surrounding whether Shaolin Monks deserves a full Unreal Engine remake while MK9 simply needs modern rollback netcode and optimization, to the complications involving Freddy Krueger’s expired licensing rights and Kratos being locked to PlayStation platforms, to the possibility of WB Games finally realizing there’s huge demand for Mortal Kombat spin off titles outside of traditional fighting games, there’s a LOT to unpack here. We also dive into why many fans believe Shaolin Monks is harder to preserve and replay on modern hardware compared to Mortal Kombat 9, how MK9 still functions surprisingly well on Xbox Series X through backwards compatibility despite outdated online servers, and why some players think a proper rollback netcode remaster could keep Mortal Kombat 9 alive competitively for another decade. On top of that, we discuss the growing calls for NetherRealm and WB to revisit the cancelled Shaolin Monks sequel Fire & Ice starring Scorpion and Sub Zero, the possibility of Digital Eclipse eventually tackling a full 3D era Mortal Kombat collection featuring Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon, and Shaolin Monks, and why fans continue believing WB may be sitting on a goldmine by ignoring MK adventure games, RPGs, and beat em up spin offs. Between Ed Boon repeatedly teasing remasters over the years, the community being almost perfectly divided between MK9 and Shaolin Monks, the speculation surrounding what NetherRealm’s next game actually is, and the hope that BOTH remasters could eventually happen, it honestly feels like Mortal Kombat fans are once again entering full “let them cook” mode heading into Summer Game Fest season. What do YOU think about Ed Boon asking fans which Mortal Kombat game should be remastered first? Would you rather see Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks fully remade in Unreal Engine 5, or Mortal Kombat 9 brought back with modern rollback netcode and enhanced graphics?
