Mortal Kombat 12: everything we know so far

techradar.com:

Mortal Kombat 12 is coming out in 2023. The latest iteration of the classic fighting game from NetherRealm Studios will bring yet more no-holds-barred action and bloody violence to our screens. 

Mortal Kombat 12 was only announced recently via a Warner Brothers earnings call, so we don’t yet have many concrete details about the fighting game.

Like its predecessors, Mortal Kombat 12 is likely to be a 2D fighting game, replete with an expansive roster of returning characters, such as Scorpion, Sub Zero, and Lui Kang. If Mortal Kombat 11 is anything to go by, however, we’ll most likely be in for an over-the-top story mode stuffed with delicious lore. Mortal Kombat 11 also introduced a character customization system that allowed players to customize their fighters with new skins, gear, and moves. It's likely that we'll see an expansion on this system in Mortal Kombat 12.     

Though we’ve had no official word as to which consoles Mortal Kombat 12 will be available for, it seems likely that the game will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Given that Mortal Kombat 11 also came to Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, there’s a chance that the title may be released for those consoles as well. However, there are no guarantees at this stage.  

Thanks to the understated way in which Mortal Kombat 12  was announced there are currently no trailers or teasers for the upcoming game. When NetherRealm does release a trailer, you’ll likely find it on Mortal Kombat’s official YouTube channel(opens in new tab), or via the game’s Twitter account(opens in new tab). 

With no concrete details about Mortal Kombat 12, we don’t yet know how NetherRealm will change the series. However, this is what we’d like to see.
