What is Ed Boon counting down to? New Mortal Kombat or Injustice 2 reveal?
With E3 just around the corner, it seems like more and more rumors are beginning to leak out about what to expect at the big show. Lately, Mortal Kombat creator and NetherRealm Studios head hancho Ed Boon has been sending some very odd encrypted tweets counting down to something. The odd tweets all began last Sunday.
Square root of 841.

Many believe that the Boon is actually counting down to the reveal of one of the upcoming games that NetherRealms Studios have been rumored to be working on. Some believe it is a new Mortal Kombat, others think it is the sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us. It doesn’t help that Ed seems to enjoy trolling the fans.
RT @poopingtoad @noobde I think on June 2nd you will announce that there will never be another Mortal Kombat game EB: WHO TOLD YOU ?!?!?! — Ed Boon (@noobde) May 6, 2014
RT @JasonRoseEh @noobde I just want Injustice 2; too much to ask? EB: Not if you call it by its proper name.

Is it a new Injustice or a new Mortal Kombat? We’ll have to wait and see when Ed Boon finally reveals what is in store for fans. On a side note, Keifer Sutherland revealed back in February that he had done some work on Mortal Kombat. Not much was revealed other than his involvement, and NetherRealm neither confirmed or denied his involvement. Then again last month, during the DC panel at WonderCon, it was announced that there would be a sequel to Injustice. No date was given, but they did say it would not be released this year.
So who knows other than Ed Boon and the NetherRealm team? Whatever it is it will be revealed just before E3 on June 2nd. Stay tuned.
