No one at NetherRealm has publically commented on the remake yet, but Tresca is not surprised. "If enough fans put their money where their mouths are we should reach that goal and it’ll automatically kick in that WB would fund the remaining cost of the project for marketing and development". We’d shoot for a healthy crowdsource goal of $200,000-$300,000", Tresca says. My plan is to convince WB executives to allow me to run a crowdsourcing campaign. The team has cost development themselves, and their estimate - for the whole trilogy rather than just the first game - differs greatly from what Warner Bros. It has worked on other games since 2016, something which Tresca believes improves their chances this time around. Since then, Eyeballistic has gone from a group of Mortal Kombat fans to a full-fledged developer. The project didn't last long however, "WB told our team that they thought the project would cost upwards of $3.2M to produce and that only 100,000 people would buy the game even at $19.99 when we pitched the MK1 remake". "Shaun (Himmerick, studio head) was the one who reached out to me back in 2016 wanting to talk after seeing some of the work we were doing back then for Mortal Kombat HD", Tresca explains. Tresca says development has been underway for some years, and first caught the attention of NetherRealm in 2016.
