The last two Mortal Kombat games have included guest characters from the Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Alien, Predator and Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchises, and Game Informer asked Boon whether NetherRealm Studios might take the next logical step and build a whole game around horror icons."Yes, yes! You know, as we've been accumulating them, that idea has been coming up more and more frequently," he explained. "You brought it up and a few other people have brought it up like 'why don't you do a horror movie fighting game?' Maybe one day we'll do it."In the meantime, Boon has been discussing DC superhero sequel Injustice 2's 'more aggressive' DLC plan , which appears to include upping the number of DLC characters from Mortal Kombat X's eight. That could well include more out-of-universe guests, going by his comments to GI.While Boon acknowledges that "there's a certain amount of people who think that when they see a guest character that it took the slot of a DC character that they wanted to have", he also points out that the first Injustice's most-downloaded DLC character was it's sole non-DC inclusion, Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.He follows up by saying, "Alien and Predator in Mortal Kombat X were the most downloaded of those, so I would be surprised if we didn't do any of that [in Injustice 2]."But before any of that, we have the core Injustice 2 to play - based on our E3 preview, it'll feel like very familiar fun
