Mortal Kombat 12 has finally been confirmed! …through a boring result report

News

The next fight has been confirmed.

Thanks to a earnings report from Warner Bros. Discovery, it’s been officially confirmed that a twelfth Mortal Kombat game is indeed in the works. This news comes a few months after Ed Boon himself teased that the next game to come out of NetherRealm Studios would be either Injustice 3 or Mortal Kombat 12.

The only other information revealed by Warner Bros. Discovery is that the next game in the signature fighting game series will be released sometime in 2023. Since NetherRealm itself hasn’t made an official announcement yet, it’s likely that players won’t be able to get their hands on the game until very late in the year, although of course this remains unconfirmed.

Mortal Kombat 12’s storyline remains under wraps, but it should be interesting to see what’s in store for the game’s story mode as the ending presents a new blank slate for the franchise. Also, those who played the story DLC pack were treated to two more endings that take place after the end of the standard game. However, whether or not this will affect Mortal Kombat 12’s story hasn’t been announced yet, so fans will have to wait and see.

It’s not surprising that Warner Bros. and NetherRealm will release a new game as Mortal Kombat 11 has been generally well received and has had good sales. Not to mention that Warner Bros. also plans to release a sequel to the Mortal Kombat movie in 2021, which means they’ll likely want a new and fresh game to bring audiences back to the brutal world before the new movie comes out.
