NetherRealm’s Ed Boon Teasing Potential Marvel Title?
While it may very well be Ed Boon up to his typical teases, what seems like a harmless tweet could be the precursor to something more for the studio behind Mortal Kombat and the Injustice series.
With James Gunn announcing the release date of Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, Ed Boon had this little observation on Twitter:
This only feeds into the recent rumours that NetherRealm is indeed working on a fighting game using Marvel properties. Reported last week by Stealth Optional, noted leaker Daniel Richtman claims that NetherRealm Studios is working on a Marvel fighting game for next-gen consoles. In fact, Richtman states that the title is already in production at the studio.
Again, this is one of those salt shaker rumours that Ed Boon may be seizing upon to mess with people, but you never know.
Right on schedule, Red Barrels has released “Project Boneyard” for The Outlast Trials. Available for free on PC and consoles for all current owners of The Outlast Trials, Reagents are thrown into Murkoff’s latest correctional nightmare, where authority is currency, punishment is policy, and riot makes way for revenge.
Sergeant Leland Coyle returns in a prominent new role for the season’s new Trial, Locksock the Warden. Sporting a brand new hat and an old appetite for control, Coyle is ready to inject more of his “cruel and unusual” style into the prison population.
As noted last week, Project Boneyard brings with it a new Trial, a new environment in the Prison Farm, new challenges, and a new Ex-Pop in The Biter.
Arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, Reagents should approach with caution, as their augmented legs gift them with unexpected velocity.
Also part of the content is a new Deluxe Catalog, filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for Reagents looking to express themselves under Murkoff-approved supervision. The Deluxe Catalog is permanently available, allowing you to unlock items at whatever pace suits you.
Players can also partake in the game’s first limited-time Community Event in the Blood Drive. Blood Extractors have been installed in multiple Trial Environments, and Reagents are strongly encouraged to donate generously. Designed as a community-wide event, Blood Drive is Murkoff’s blood supply for an upcoming project. Every contribution helps advance the collective goal. As the community reaches new milestones, additional rewards will be unlocked for all participating Reagents. However, a minimum donation will be required within the trial environment to qualify for claiming event rewards.
The Outlast Trials is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
