Back to the beginning: NetherRealm teases Mortal Kombat reboot
Looks like the new Mortal Kombat game is going to be another reboot, called Mortal Kombat 1
Latest Mortal Kombat teaser points toward a timeline reset or soft reboot
Warner Bros. Discovery casually name-dropped Mortal Kombat 12 earlier in the year, when an earnings call revealed the fighter was “set to release this year, with ambitious launch projections.” The relaxed announcement wasn’t followed by any flashy marketing (outside of a few funny Ed Boon tweets) until now. Developer Netherrealm have been dropping small teasers that potentially point toward a series reboot, or a timeline cleanse, or a return to the series’ past. Hey, the next instalment might not even be named MK12. Watch last night’s very brief teaser below:
It’s “almost time” for a Mortal Kombat reboot, teaser and leaks suggest
It’s no news that Mortal Kombat 12 is reportedly arriving during 2023, given that it was accidentally detailed during a Warner Bros. Discovery call to investors a few months back. Alas, it’s now become clear that it might not be Mortal Kombat 12 that we’re specifically in receipt of.
Source, Bilbil-Kun, who has reliably reported on game store leaks in the past, has reported that the new entry in the series will be called Mortal Kombat 1. The game is expected to be a reboot of the series on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, but as ever, you know the drill; these leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt until NetherRealm Studios confirms this itself.
That said, NetherRealm Studios shouldn’t be keeping fans waiting for too long, and its latest teaser (embedded above) certainly point towards a reboot. Captioned “It’s almost time,” Mortal Kombat’s teaser, and the clock counting down that it features, has triggered a lot of speculation.
