An individual named Zach has taken toChange.org to start a petitionasking for a remaster of the 2011Mortal Kombatgame that was originally released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before making its way to PC and PlayStation Vita. The petition notes that it’s “almost impossible” to play the 2011Mortal Kombatsince it’s only available for outdated hardware and the Steam version was delisted. The petition asks Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios to remaster the 2011Mortal Kombatfor modern platforms with improved visuals and restored online features.
Mortal Kombat 9 Petition is Gaining Traction
It seems there are manyMortal Kombatfansthat would be interested in the 2011Mortal Kombatmaking a comeback. Over 700 signatures have been collected at the time of this writing, with newMortal Kombatfans throwing their support behind the idea regularly. Fans shouldn’t hold their breath that the petition will actually lead to anything - or even get a response from anyone official - but it could at least let it be known that there is interest in the 2011Mortal Kombatgame getting remastered for modern platforms.
The jury is still out on whether the 2011Mortal Kombatwill ever get remastered, but there is some hope for other classicMKgames to get remastered. In fact, a couple of years ago,franchise creator Ed Boon was gauging interestin a potential remaster of the spin-off gameMortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Nothing concrete has materialized from that poll yet, but considering the popularity ofMortal Kombat, it seems like a waste to not bring its games to modern systems.
