Ed Boon and Injustice for All

Injustice: Gods Among Us won’t be the first time the House that Mortal Kombat Built has worked with comic icons from DC’s stable but it does mark somewhat of a sea change for a team of developers previously exclusively focused on the Mortal Kombat series. Morale remains high at NetherRealm Studios after the enthusiastic reception of 2011’s Mortal Kombat but there’s also a great deal of excitement around the fact Injustice is a brand new project for them.

“Well, it’s interesting,” says industry veteran Ed Boon, creative director at NetherRealm Studios. “Some people forget that we’ve been doing Mortal Kombat games for, you know, some guys in the team, 15 years or something like that. So the idea of doing something different when you’ve been doing the same kinda theme for so long is very exciting, very invigorating, and a lot of the guys in the team are fans of it.”
