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: Read more

Because Ed Boone said so. Those hoping for a Mortal Kombat 12 announcement at EVO 2022 should curb their expectations. That’s because series creator Ed Boone has said as much.
