NRS devs have been tweeting about Mortal Kombat non-stop (something they often do to subtly hint at the next title, ie talking about DC characters to hint at Injustice 2 back before it was revealed) Additionally, Boon's comment about the next game "making a lot of sense" holds a ton more weight when you realize what occasion the franchise is celebrating. As such, it is cause for celebration in the commununity, both on the developer's side and the fans. 30 years of consistent releases is a huge accomplishment for any video game franchise. Since this is the final piece of evidence I have at the moment, I'll try to keep it brief. I'm aware that this may be jumping to conclusions, but I take this as a soft confirmation that a new MK game is in fact in the works. I can say that it will make a lot of sense when we can finally announce our next game." Tell me, how could the next game be say Injusice or a new IP if the pattern was broken, and the reveal would make a lot of sense. When we broke that pattern, there was a lot of specualtion of what we were doing next. He said, and I quote, "I can say for 10 years, we were releasing MK and Injustice. This brings me to an interview he had a few months back, where he talked about what's next for NRS. What I'm getting at, is that while Boon is kind of an ass when it comes to teasing, he has never intentionally lied. From teasing characters to cancelled DLC packs (shoutout to MKX's Story Pack and Injustice 2's Fighter Pack 0) However, one must remember that there is a difference between trolling and blatant lying, which to my knowledge Boon has only done once (him promising news in September 2021 regarding the reveal of KP2, despite the actual reveal taking place in October) This could easily be chalked up to WB interfering and forcing them to delay the reveal, so we'll discard that for now. Everyone and their mother knows that Ed Boon is the biggest troll in the gaming industry. ģ) Ed Boon being a cocktease, Volume 576. The evidence shared links to a post containing his message, while proving that he leaked several key details about MK11 before they were publicly shown. See you next year", before vanishing again. After vanishing for a long time, he suddenly reappeared 3 months ago on a forum post about MK12, simply stating "Reiko's back. Lo and Behold, every piece of info he had ended up being true. This man leaked a ton of details about the game before going silent. But what if I told you that a leaker on gamefaqs may have been responsible for a vast amount of the leaks that came out for MK11? Enter Roor. The full base roster of the game was revealed in a massive internal leak from NRS (those who were active that day remember the models of Erron Black, Noob Saibot, and Liu Kang being shown), while every DLC fighter that came (besides Ash, who we will not talk about) being datamined. MK11 has gone down in infamy as one of the only fighting games to have EVERY character, both base and DLC, prematurely leaked. Jeff "revealing" MK12 was the catalyst for the remaining pieces of evidence on this post.Ģ) ROOR reveals Reiko. Note that Jeff was correct in revealing that the "platform WB fighting game" (Multiversus) wasn't the new NRS project. He reportedly stated that the next game was going to be MK12 due to uncertainty over NRS's future withWB( ) before doubling down on this on Twitter ( ). Around 9 months ago, Jeff held a podcast where he talked about upcoming gaming news, before coming to the topic of NRS's next project. He's no messiah and has been wrong on some occasions, while also proving correct on others. For those who aren't aware, Jeff Grubb is a notable gaming industry insider who has been active for a very long time. If I missed anything major, please feel free to add it in the comments below! Without further ado, here is the case for Mortal Kombat 12.ġ) Jeff Grubb's Speculation. I've decided to make a singular post that contains potential evidence to support the theory that a new Mortal Kombat game is in the works, rather than that of Injustice 3 or a new IP. Despite this, several leaks about this secretive new project have emerged and to many people's surprise, it may actually be Mortal Kombat 12. Since then, the devs have been extremely silent on social media, only popping up every once in a while to post a crytpic tease or a cheeky reference before going dark once again. Hello, my friends!! It's been nearly a year since support for MK11 was officially axed and full production on NRS's new project has commenced.
