While a WB Discovery earnings call previously revealed the next Mortal Kombat game will launch in 2023, a formal announcement has yet to hit the web. That hasn\u2019t stopped developer NetherRealm Studios from sharing the occasional teaser, though. In fact, an MK12 teaser appeared at the end of Mortal Kombat\u2019s 30th anniversary video. The clip in question merely depicted an hourglass and a grain of sand exploding into thousands of pieces. Still, it gave longtime fans plenty to discuss; they\u2019re already dissecting the newest post from Mortal Kombat\u2019s social media accounts, too. New Mortal Kombat 12 tease points to potential reboot On May 10, the official Mortal Kombat Twitter page unleashed yet another teaser. This one runs just over 15 seconds in length and doesn\u2019t reveal much in the way of concrete information. The short video depicts a close-up of a clock as the second hand ticks from one number to the next. Interestingly, the hand begins at nine \u2013 likely in reference to the reboot entry MK9 \u2013 ticks past 10 with ease, then briefly stalls at number 11. Instead of striking 12, the clock hand skips to number 1, a detail that implies MK12 may actually constitute a full-on reboot. Of course, fans were quick to pick up on the sudden jump to 1. \u201cTeasing a reset are we?\u201d one person asked in the thread. Someone else pondered, \u201cSo, back to MK1 again?\u201d A series reset isn\u2019t beyond the realm of possibility, given the events of MK11 and the Aftermath expansion. The \u201cgood ending\u201d for Aftermath, in particular, shows Liu Kang using the power of the Keeper of Time Kronika to establish a new era. It seems NetherRealm will follow that same thread into Mortal Kombat\u2019s next mainline entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest Mortal Kombat 12 tease hints at possible series reboot WB GamesThe latest tease for what everyone\u2019s been calling Mortal Kombat 12 hints that the new installment could serve as yet reboot for the series.
