Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Hints at a Series Reboot

It has been said that NetheRealm Studios is planning to release Mortal Kombat 12 this year, but it’s almost June, and we have no trailer in sight.

Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Hints at a Series Reboot

Now the official Twitter account has decided to drop a teaser for an MK12 reveal, and it hints at a possible series reboot. Check this out:

We see a clock ticking toward the number 12, and though it looks like things are ramping up to something huge, the switch to 1 acts as some kind of reset, with the explosion on the clockface disappearing.

Mortal Kombat 11’s main villain Kronika is a manipulator of time, and with her defeated in the last game, it’s possible we could be looking at more time-travelling shenanigans for MK 12.

Some fans are actually guessing that the studio is looking to do a reboot of the original Mortal Kombat, that’s why the clock skips the 12 and moves right to 1. When it comes to available fighters in that roster, we have seven to choose from—Johnny Cage, Kano, Raiden, Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Sonya Blade. It’s the MK2 roster that expands with Mileena, Kung Lao, Reptile, Jax, Baraka, and Shang Tsung.

With fighting game sequels, fans kind of expect an ever-expanding roster with new characters, but modern games kind of keep a solid handful of characters with some classic characters coming and going. We don’t know what NetherRealm plans to do next, but I am hoping for a tie-in with the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie to help hype up both properties.

No release date has been announced for Mortal Kombat 12.
