* XMeetsY: A lot of their post-[=MK9=] games share the same foundation with their previous offering. ''Mortal Kombat 9'' + DC superheroes = ''Injustice'', which was more well-received than the [[VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse first time they used the license]], thanks to the popular ''[=MK9=]'' engine. In turn, ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' borrows mechanics from ''Injustice'' like environment interaction, as well as a varying character dynamic much like the -isms in ''Main/StreetFighterAlpha3''. They also developed a mobile fighting game, ''WWE Immortals'', which was a WWE + fantasy fighting game that borrowed the game mechanics from their mobile version of ''Injustice''. Their mobile version of ''Mortal Kombat X'' also used similar gameplay, although naturally much BloodierAndGorier. ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'', in turn, takes inspiration from ''MKX'', borrowing the latter's style of pre-match intros (quip, retort, rejoinder) and animated versus-screen interactions.
