A game that brings together the rosters of the three games that revived Mortal Kombat would be a great way to celebrate a massive franchise such as MK, especially given just how varied the kombatants have been over the years. In a comment on the post, they also pointed out that Mortal Kombat's 30th anniversary is coming up relatively soon.

The original 4chan post gained traction when Twitter user Ska'Vorah posted a link to the thread. DC Universe), it's reasonable to believe that another definitive trilogy is on its way.

Now that there have been three main series games since the release of Armageddon (excluding the questionable canonicity of Mortal Kombat vs. Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy is the most notable example, though Mortal Kombat Armageddon also served a similar purpose.

Every three releases, NetherRealm tends to release a game that acts like a collection, highlighting the last three titles. Ultimately, however, we'll just have to keep playing the waiting game until NRS is finally ready to make a reveal.This rumored Mortal Kombat game would be the next Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy of the series.

Assuming NetherRealm Studios really does announce Mortal Kombat 12 in April, this means that the game could potentially be released in the middle of August or September. It should be noted that Mortal Kombat 11 originally released about four months after it was announced at The Game Awards 2018 held in December 6, 2018. Simply put, it wouldn't make sense for Mortal Kombat 11 to be one Evo 2023's mainstage games over Mortal Kombat 12 if Mortal Kombat 12 were to release before August. Aside from the fact that NRS hasn't officially unveiled the game yet, the Evo 2023 lineup gives us a solid window in which Mortal Kombat 12 won't be released by.Įvo 2023, which takes place between August 4 and August 6, 2023, is featuring Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate as one of its mainstage games along the likes of Street Fighter 6 (which releases June 2, 2023). However, we can determine that Mortal Kombat 12 won't be releasing this April with some deductive reasoning. We've seen it with Mortal Kombat 9 releasing April 19, 2011, Mortal Kombat X releasing on Apand Mortal Kombat 11 releasing on April 23, 2019. Traditionally, NRS has released their Mortal Kombat titles in the month of April. DLC also proved to be a successful source of revenue for the Mortal Kombat series as evidenced by the increasing usage of guest characters. Since then, the Mortal Kombat series has been widely successful for NRS and WB with Mortal Kombat 9, Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11 selling over 5 million units, 12 million units and 15 million units respectively. For starters, Mortal Kombat 9 was actually the first game developed by NetherRealm Studios after Midway Games filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and were acquired by WB Games. Of course, it's important to understand why Mortal Kombat 9 is significant enough to be celebrated like this. Indeed, it would be the perfect opportunity to announce Mortal Kombat 12 on Mortal Kombat 9's 12th anniversary. Notably, this means that Apis marked as Mortal Kombat 9's 12th anniversary. However, I personally think that they might be gearing up for an announcement on April 19, 2023.įor NRS, April 19 is a significant date as Mortal Kombat 9 was released on April 19, 2011. In fact, Ed Boon and NRS have not yet even indicated which date we should be looking out for in terms of when we'll receive more information about the game. Aside from the fact that it is indeed the next project that NRS is working on and that it is releasing this year, we know literally nothing about Mortal Kombat 12 as of this moment.

Unfortunately, Ed Boon and NRS are still keeping silent about Mortal Kombat 12.
