Since the release of a teaser trailer in November; we've been wondering which NetherRealm Studios fighting game will receive selection for the 2017 Evo World Championship in July.

NetherRealm fighting games have become a fixture of the annual tournament event since Mortal Kombat received admission in 2011. With the release of Injustice: Gods Among Us in 2013, we saw two titles represented at the championship [read more] -- the DC fighter ultimately replacing MK until Mortal Kombat X.

Now with Injustice 2 on the horizon, tournament head honcho has taken to Twitter to poll NetherRealm competitors on which game they'd rather see at the next event.

From 2,717 followers who voted, the newer option of the DC fighting sequel gained 59%. A late surge of support for Mortal Kombat XL earned an approximate 1,114 votes (41%).

In a poll of broad fandom, MK Online asked fans which game they expect or hope to see. At the time of this writing, 47.8% chose both NetherRealm titles. Injustice 2 recevied only 12.6%, with Mortal Kombat X the preferred individual choice at over 39%.

An official announcement for the 2017 Evo World Championship line-up will be broadcast Tuesday, January 24th!

Speculation points to a customary April release, but Injustice 2 is yet to receive any official date of availability. Should Warner Brothers decide to put more distance between their two fighting franchises, we may see Injustice 2 pushed beyond the July event. Increased DLC support pushed the release of komplete edition Mortal Kombat XL out to October, last year.
