Mortal Kombat fans have been craving a significant revival, and Ed Boon, the legendary co-creator of the franchise, is fully in tune with their desires. In a recent Twitter post, Boon has stirred the pot of nostalgia, asking fans if they’re eager to see Mortal Kombat: Deception’s Konquest Mode make a much-anticipated return. Whether via a remastered version or an entirely new game, the community’s buzz indicates a strong demand for this classic mode.
Mortal Kombat: Deception, which debuted on sixth-generation consoles in late 2004, was a standout title that enriched the Mortal Kombat universe. Following the storyline of Deadly Alliance, players were introduced to a fresh antagonist: the Dragon King Onaga. One of the crown jewels of this title was its evolution of the Konquest Mode, which initially debuted as a mere training tool in Deadly Alliance. In Deception, this single-player RPG-like experience transformed into a riveting adventure featuring a new hero named Shujinko.

Many fans expressed their hope to see this mode return with more playable characters or as part of a remastered package for the cherished 3D Mortal Kombat games of the early 2000s. While some fans call for a resurrected edition of the spin-off Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, others are simply hyped to discover what lies ahead for NetherRealm, especially after Mortal Kombat 1.
In a continuous effort to engage with the community, Ed Boon has confirmed that NetherRealm has been hard at work on the next project, eagerly awaited for the last three years. Speculation is rife about whether this will be a new Mortal Kombat entry or the long-anticipated Injustice 3. Boon is no stranger to listening to fans, ensuring he’s always in sync with what players wish to see in future DLC and titles.

As Ed Boon continues to unveil what’s next for the franchise, it’s clear that both he and the fans are feeling the pulse of nostalgia, particularly for the exhilarating Konquest Mode that brought many players countless hours of joy.
