It wouldn't have to involve NRS. I believe the development of that game totally ceased with Studio Gigante. (To your point though) If Tobias was short on options and needing assistance, which is highly unlikely, he'd wipe the slate clean. I don't think Tao Feng will ever be revived though, going by the facts.

I believe the Tao Feng IP is owned by Microsoft. That said, while I love Killer Instinct, it’d be nice to see MS bankroll a 3D fighter so they could (gasp) have two unique fighting franchises. I wouldn’t mind Kakuto Chojin making a return, but given that it likely has even less exposure and name recognition than Tao Feng, I’d just stick with the latter.

That said, I’d love to a sequel that centers around a post-apocalyptic neo-Chinatown war between the Black Mantis, the White Lotus and a third party trying to either contain the war or benefit from it somehow. Here are some very brief ideas for new characters:

Black Mantis

Deadly Nightshade: Witch

Wraith: An reanimated “reaper” type

Monkey’s Paw: Monkey style mystic

Sidewinder: Gadget type bounty hunter

White Lotus

Magus: A user of the arcane arts

Silent Shadow: A ninja

Weary Traveler: Drunken Kung fu warrior

Dead Soul: A reformed thief that cheated death

Outsiders

Red Dahlia: Canadian special forces

Razor’s Edge: Knife wielding soldier

Landstalker: Native tracker

Live Wire: Explosives expert

Sever: Female MMA grappler

Los Dos: A twin that fights with the ghost of his dead twin.

Copperhead: Snake style martial artist
