thegamer.com:

NetherRealm hasn’t confirmed or denied its plans for a new Mortal Kombat game following the roaring success of Mortal Kombat 11. Normally the pattern would be for a new Injustice game in between Mortal Kombat offerings, but these aren’t normal times.

As one Twitter follower pointed out, the background music in the tweet was the Mortal Kombat 2 arcade soundtrack. "Every deadly technique. It’s savage combat."

"I wouldn't say that this is for sure," said Grubb, "but it lines up with the reality and it lines up with what I've heard where Mortal Kombat 12 would make the most sense because that's a game they know will make money."

Warner Bros. has since confirmed full support of NetherRealm and that it will remain with the company.

Fans will likely have a long wait yet for Mortal Kombat 12. When asked if NetherRealm will have any big announcements for Mortal Kombat's 30th anniversary, studio head Ed Boon said simply "no." Mortal Kombat was
