NetherRealm is stil playing coy when it comes to the next entry for Mortal Kombat. And while we don’t have any news as of yet regarding the twelfth entry in the series, a new video appears to hint at what’s to come.
Yesterday, the Mortal Kombat Twitter account posted a video which featured several members of the development team thanking players for supporting the series for 30 years. And in typical Ed Boon fashion, he ended the video by saying that the team are “not quite done yet”. From there, the video cuts to a sequence showing sand falling in an hourglass. The camera zooms in on a single grain of sand, which explodes in something resembling The Big Bang.
Adding to the significance of the sequence is the main antagonist of Mortal Kombat 11 and Keeper of Time, Kronika, used an Hourglass that had the potential to rewind time (and potentially rewrite history). The Hourglass was further expanded upon in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.
It’s obviously not clear at this point what Boon’s plans are for the story, and whether we’d be getting a “retelling” a la 2011’s Mortal Kombat that reset the current timeline, or a continuation of MK11‘s story. But, it’s fun to speculate.
What we do know is that Mortal Kombat 12 is coming later this year, thanks to a leaked investor’s call a few months ago. And given that Mortal Kombat II‘s anniversary hits later this year (November, to be exact), it’d be a perfect way to celebrate with a new entry.
Nothing but appreciation for our fans over the past 30 Years. We're just getting started… pic.twitter.com/i8LzbGfISf
