The Loot Drop

Mortal Kombat 12 is being teased by NetherRealm Studios through a cryptic video, and its release has been confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO, David Zaslav; however, the formal unveiling date remains uncertain.

Is NetherRealm Studios preparing to do an official reveal of Mortal Kombat 12? Well, fans certainly seem to think so.

The long-time Mortal Kombat developers uploaded a two-minute clip on their YouTube channel where it thanked the fans who've helped make the controversial franchise one of the most commercially successful video game properties of all time. Series co-creator, Ed Boon, ended the video with a very simple but also, hype-inducing phrase, as he said, "we're not quite done yet." Then came a bizarre 10-second clip filled with the hyper-detailed grain of sand that fans believe is NetherRealm confirming the story of Mortal Kombat 12.
It's going to take a much longer article to explain to you what's gone on in Mortal Kombat so far, but the gist is the end of Mortal Kombat 11 basically gave NetherRealm an out to reboot the entire franchise.

Specifically, the "good" ending of the Mortal Kombat 11 DLC, Aftermath, sees Liu Kang establish a new universe that looks fairly similar to the first Mortal Kombat game albeit with some changes.

Hardcore fans consider the explosion of the grains of sand as the birth of an entirely new universe.
