Mortal Kombat fans have something to get excited about. The franchise’s co-creator, Ed Boon, recently dropped hints that something is coming soon.
The video game community has spent the entire day speculating what Boon could be talking about in a recent tweet.
In the gaming industry, small hints often mean big news is coming. Boon, in particular, has a reputation for cryptic posts and stirring the pot, or so to speak. Also, don’t forget that a new installment of Mortal Kombat was confirmed earlier this year with a potential reveal later this month.
Given that Warner Bros. Discovery has had a long-standing relationship with Sony, it would make sense to give the long-rumored PlayStation Showcase first dibs on the official reveal of the next Mortal Kombat.
Rumors about Mortal Kombat 12 (or 1, if you believe the leaks) have circulated for a while, but Boon’s suggestive tweet worked as well as pouring gasoline into a raging fire.
The latest tease by the co-creator has reinforced fan speculation that the stage is already set for the next Mortal Kombat installment to be revealed.
Of course, Mortal Kombat is big enough of a franchise that NetherRealm Studios and WBD could get away with dropping a trailer out of nowhere.
Keep in mind that Mortal Kombat is synonymous with the fighting game genre, having entertained audiences for several decades. A new addition to the franchise is a big deal, especially for the loyal fan base who are eagerly waiting in anticipation to find out which characters are part of the game’s roster.
After all, who couldn’t be hyped when rumors are saying that Peacemaker and Homelander as well as Conan the Barbarian are all part of the lineup?
Mortal Kombat is enjoying a resurgence of sorts. Outside of gaming, Warner Bros. Discovery’s Mortal Kombat film reboot did well enough to warrant a sequel that’s currently in development. It’s believed that Mortal Kombat 2 has cast Karl Urban as its Johnny Cage, a move that’s been celebrated by fans despite the lack of official confirmation.
