One of the dev at NRS might have just "leaked" Mortal Kombat 12
- Thread starter CaptainKashup
- Start date
- Rumor
Clearly, this new project is just another port of Mortal Kombat 11, now featuring one additional kharacter.

The current rumor that's been going for a while now is that it is in fact a "Everyone is here" type of game, with characters from MK9, MKX and MK11, DLC included but without the guests, and with the MK11 characters mostly unchanged. That would mean 16 new characters from MK9 and MKX.

Hopefully they'll announce it soon. MK trailers are amazing and I loved how hyped they made me for MK11.
I'm just waiting for this damn game to he announced already, as much as I enjoyed MK11, I want my fast paced MK again even if it isn't like MKX.. at least like MK9
That bit of email is hilarious.
But also not terribly surprising? Those games sell like crazy not just compared to other fighting games, but all AAA games.

I played MKX when it was available on PS Plus and couldn't get into it at all. I took a risk and got MK11 and the gameplay was so different, it was kind of astonishing to me. As someone returning to fighting games in the last few years, after a lengthy absence, I figured iterations in fighting franchises don't really change the formula too much, but MK10 and 11 were so different I imagine people who liked one will usually not like the other. I'm curious what 12 will be like.
MK11's marketing was so damn perfect for someone that grew up with the series and loved the movie as a kid. It just hit every bit of nostalgia I have for the series. I'm kinda curious how they will try to improve upon it for MK12.
No question an everyone is here style game would be one way to do it. Does anyone know how many characters would need to be added to MK11's roster to have everyone (or close to everyone as I imagine not every guest character would be included)? Maybe the games being close to each other will help reduce the work needed to have a game like that.
Either way, I can't wait to see what they've been working on.

It wasn't the og I think.
There's also the fact that it's the 30th anniversary of the franchise, that NRS did that after every trilogy and that MK12 is taking extra-long compared to the usual Netherrealm development time.

16.
Ermac, Reptile, Smoke, Cyrak, Sektor, Quan Chi, Kung Jin, Kenshi, Takeda, Ferra Torr, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho, Tremor, Stryker, Goro, Shinnok.
I see Max is holding out hope for that Marvel game. All due respect, of course (you rock, dood).
Yeah, I remember the rumors from that one thread from back in December.
Excluding guests but counting all the Cyber Lin Kuei and the unplayable bosses from the reboot trilogy, we'd need to add the 16 CaptainKashup mentioned, plus Cyber Sub-Zero, Triborg (these two were explicitly shot down in a few rumors), Kronika, Kintaro, and if we're really lucky Corrupted Shinnok.

I think Kintaro might have a chance of getting in, since he was "technically" playable in MK9 and they made a whole model for him for Shang Tsung's fatality.
Triborg doesn't need to be in since it's basically just Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke in one kharacter. Cyber Sub-Zero, however, had his own unique playstyle so who knows.

I think it's more for the fact that it's very clearly an intended leak.
Ah right I always forget about Armageddon and Trilogy. Well, it makes sense, especially given how it would also corroborate Grubb's reporting. A compilation game would also probably take less time since it sounds like this wasn't always the plan.
It might even explain how it seemed, according to unused character slots, that MK11's DLC support was cut a little short. Why keep making MK11 when you could just make MK12?
His theory was that NRS was leaking fake info to otherwise-reliable sources to take attention away from what he believes is the real leak (Marvel).

That would be interesting for sure. But man, the backlash they would get from the MK fandom would be wild

Something to be noted is that Jandy posted another tweet with 4 different pictures right after this one, but deleted them right before I could check them.
Especially for a dev like this. No duh whatever they're working on is either the next MK or Injustice.
Yeah there's not a chance in hell that this was unintentional lmfao. I love it. He's trying to catch up to Boon level trolling.
I have that same mouse pad too lol.
Edit: MK vs DC II
Well, that kind of sucks. Mortal Kombat 11 played out like a conclusion/soft reboot, so I was hoping they would work on Injustice 3 or another game before returning with Mortal Kombat 12.
hmm
ALL CHARACTERS?
That's hype af
I really hope Reptile is human. Please give him the respect he deserves.

I mean... they left you TOO many clues. Besides the e-mail this one is pretty fucking glaring lol
MK1 next to MK2 = MK12
MK1 next to MK2 = MK12
Shit, I wish lol. The only hope at this point is that an Injustice 3 was listed in that GeForce Now thing iirc.
