Blind Squirrel Games – who are known for remasters of games such as Borderlands and BioShock – were reportedly working on a remastered collection of the first three Mortal Kombat games, as reported by DSOGaming.
Sources shared in December 2018 that Blind Squirrel’s pitches were loved by Ed Boon – co-creator of Mortal Kombat and Creative Director at Warner Bros.’ NeatherRealm Studios – and that he advocated for WB to partner with Blind Squirrel on the remastered versions of the first three games.
However, one week after being told, “Your project is heading toward a green light,” Blind Squirrel said they received a phone call stating that WB wanted to go in a different direction and that they couldn’t, “trust development of such an important project to a team without any completed game titles.”
