Back in August 2019 Ed Boon announced that Mortal Kombat 2011 had sold close to 6 million copies. What a big turn around for a previously declining series. Then he also announced that Mortal Kombat X sold 11 million copies. Wow, that is nearly doubling the previous game's sales. That is a crazy increase for a sequel especially for the fighting genre. Currently Mortal Kombat 11 is at 8 million and will no doubt be at least do 10 million.
Fighting games have made a comeback in the online age of gaming but are still relatively niche in regards to other genres. Netherrealm looks like they have a winning formula though. What do you guys think Mortal Kombat is doing right and what can other fighting games learn from it?
