Get ready to test your might once again as Mortal Kombat 12 is confirmed by Warner Bros and set to release this year! Fans of the fighting game franchise have been eagerly anticipating the next installment, and now, it seems that their patience is about to be rewarded.
The News was officially confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery during its recent earnings call. It was revealed that Mortal Kombat 12 is not only currently in development, but it is also targeting a 2023 launch. This exciting announcement comes as no surprise to fans of the franchise, as every Mortal Kombat game since 2011 has been developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by its parent company, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (now known as Warner Bros. Games).
And that’s not all! Mortal Kombat 12 isn’t the only major release set to come from Warner Bros. Games this year. Developer Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a spinoff of the Batman: Arkham franchise, is also set to launch this May. With two highly anticipated titles on the horizon, it’s a great year to be a fan of Warner Bros. Games.
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon took to Twitter to share his excitement over the news, teasing fans by saying, “So who has heard the news about Injustice 3?” Boon is no stranger to the world of DC Comics, having previously worked on the Mortal Kombat-esque fighting game series Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2.
The Mortal Kombat franchise has come a long way since its inception in 1992. The original game hit arcades before being ported over to home consoles, and subsequent entries have continued to captivate audiences with their brutal fatalities, intricate combos, and memorable characters. The franchise has had its fair share of ups and downs, with some entries being more well-received than others, but it has always remained a beloved staple in the gaming community.
It’s exciting to see what NetherRealm Studios has in store for us with Mortal Kombat 12. Will we see the return of old favorites like Scorpion and Sub-Zero, or will new characters be introduced to the mix? Will the game feature updated graphics and gameplay mechanics, or will it stick to the tried-and-true formula that fans have come to know and love? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Mortal Kombat 12 is sure to be a bloody good time. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated release.
