Finish Him! Mortal Kombat 12: What’s Next for the Iconic Fighting Game?
Mortal Kombat 12 was announced a bit earlier than intended, thanks to a premature reveal from Warner Bros. After a few months of nothing, NetherRealm Studios have finally started dropping teaser trailers. Though they are short, the implications are massive. Everyone is wondering if Mortal Kombat 12 will be a reboot, a remaster, or if the game will have a totally new plot and story we have never seen before.

On 10 May, NetherRealm Studios posted the new teaser trailer to several social media accounts captioned, “It is almost time.” Viewers are shown a closeup shot of a clock’s second hand as it ominously ticks from 9 to 11. A line of faint flecks of colour, possibly meant to represent the sand from the hourglass, is slowly flowing in the opposite direction. As the hand reaches 11, it begins shaking, almost as if something won’t allow it to land on the 12 before landing at 1.
Of course, as soon as their trailer hit the internet, fans began theorising about what this could mean for the next game. They already knew Mortal Kombat 12 would be a reboot, as every victorious character in Mortal Kombat 11 and Aftermath recreates the world.
Liu Kang is canonically victorious in Aftermath and manages to erase Shang Tsung and recover the Crown of Souls. Once he reforges his New Era, he visits the Shaolin temple, where he meets and trains the Great Kung Lao, an ancestor of Kung Lao, to be his champion in Mortal Kombat.
