It would make the most sense for NetherRealm to carry over the expansions made with Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11 into Mortal Kombat 12. The series has experimented with Elseworld stories for some time now, as well as a live-action movie back in 2021 which retained some of the franchise's staple roster from the 2D and 3D eras. If the three animated movies that have succeeded the launch of Mortal Kombat 11 are anything to go by, it's likely that many of the characters and ideas from the predecessor will make their way into Mortal Kombat 12. With Kronika defeated, the sands of time had been extinguished and the new era had been stopped in its tracks, meaning that we could see anything from a full-scale reboot to a continuation of the past trilogy. ![]() Given how the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expansion ends, with series lead and Earthrealm defender Lui Kang ascending to godhood in place of Thunder God Raiden, things are quite open-ended for Mortal Kombat 12. Though we don’t know if NetherRealm will go in this direction, we here at TechRadar Gaming are keeping our fingers crossed. We’d like to see Mortal Kombat 12 return to the more fast-paced style of gameplay for which the series was originally known. It's arguable that there was even some influence from NetherRealm's DC Comics fighter series, InJustice, with the tonal shift. While Mortal Kombat X had a particularly gritty tone, things were a little more tongue-in-cheek with Mortal Kombat 11 which was a bit brighter aesthetically and more colorful. Mortal Kombat as a franchise is known for its fatalities, brutalities, and over-the-top action violence. Mortal Kombat 11 also got rid of running, which, in the view of our hardware editor and Mortal Kombat veteran, Aleksha McLoughlin, was something of a misstep. However, the fights in Mortal Kombat 11 had a slower pace than in previous games, placing an emphasis on more methodical play at the expense of fast-paced rush-down playstyles. Whether or not you're using a controller or one of the best fight sticks, Mortal Kombat 11 had some solid fundamentals. After the game's launch, NetherRealm released a raft of licenesed DLC updates, adding characters including Spawn, the Terminator, and Robocop.With no concrete details about Mortal Kombat 12, we don’t yet know how NetherRealm will change the series. It also received a next-gen boost for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in November 2020. While the original release only arrived on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the Ultimate Edition release also saw the game ported to the Nintendo Switch. ![]() As of July 2021, the game had sold more than 12 million copies across all platforms.

However, publisher Warner Bros.’ parent company AT&T attempted to sell off its games division in 2020, and has been making moves to restructure aspects of Warner Bros. Until now, NetherRealm has been quiet regarding their future projects, leaving speculation open as to whether they would continue the superhero-led Injustice series. Given the signs included, however, it’s believed it was shared intentionally to tease the production of the next title after NetherRealm’s hugely successful Mortal Kombat 11.

In addition, it makes reference to fans searching the internet for clues, and ends by warning the recipient to “take extra care with this material.” A subtle hint, it could be said. In addition, the email shown on his screen appears to be a warning, with the text “not share any part of this video,” clearly visible.
