As the gaming world eagerly awaits the next chapter in the Mortal Kombat Series, industry insiders suggest that the wait may finally be over. In a recent tweet by journalist and insider Jez Corden, fans were given a hint that the official reveal of Mortal Kombat 12 could be happening next month.
The tease came after a live stream of Mortal Kombat 9, when a fan expressed their hope that the next game in the series would have the speed and decision making of its predecessor. Corden’s cryptic reply left many wondering if a long-awaited announcement was just around the corner.

While this news may come as no surprise to some, it confirms the speculation that began after co-creator of Mortal Kombat and Injustice, Ed Boon, tweeted late last year that a reveal of Mortal Kombat 12 was likely within six months. Now, with May 2023 almost upon us, the stars seem to be aligning for the game’s official unveiling.
But that’s not all. Earlier this year, Warner Bros, the publisher of Mortal Kombat, confirmed that not only would the game be revealed in 2023, but it would also be released this year. During a quarterly earnings call, Warner Bros executive vice president Andrew Salabin said that Mortal Kombat 12 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League were both set for release this year with ambitious launch projections.
While the announcement was somewhat subdued, it has done nothing to dampen the spirits of Mortal Kombat fans. The promise of a new installment in the series, combined with the anticipation of its official reveal, has left many eagerly counting down the days until May.
And for those who can’t wait for Mortal Kombat 12, there’s always the surprise demo of Street Fighter 6 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, released by Capcom. But for true Mortal Kombat fans, nothing can compare to the thrill of a new game in the franchise.
With the promise of ambitious launch projections and the tantalizing hint of an upcoming reveal, Mortal Kombat 12 is shaping up to be one of the biggest gaming events of the year. The anticipation is palpable, and the excitement is building as fans around the world prepare for the next battle.
