Ultimately though, we have to take every leak with a grain of salt. With regards to Cetrion, it was apparently stated by r00000r that she was a "new female monster character" whose name started with "Cet" and ended with "n." Of course, we already knew about the "Cet" part due to the beta data mine leak.Īs of right now, it's currently unknown what r00000r means when they say "see you next year." Are the developers not going to reveal Mortal Kombat 12 until 2023 or is the game simply releasing in 2023? Going back to r00000r's track record with Mortal Kombat 11 leaks, he was previously able to correctly reveal details about Cetrion (newcomer), Kollector (newcomer), Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung. His moveset has consisted of using throwing stars as projectiles, teleports, flip kicks, shoulder charges and he even uses a mockup of Shao Kahn's hammer. Reiko has served as a general in Shao Kahn's army and has also been part of Shinnok's Brotherhood of Shadow. There's a heavy implication that Reiko desires to become a successor to Shao Kahn. It seems that Reiko has developed into something of a fan of Shao Kahn's since then. However, this theory was eventually proven false when both Shao Kahn and Reiko appeared as playable characters in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Stating that Reiko is "back" would certainly be an interesting choice if all of this was just made up.ĭue to Reiko's ending in Mortal Kombat Gold, there was a fan theory that suggested that Reiko was actually Shao Kahn. Reiko's only other playable appearance was in Mortal Kombat 4 (and Gold), the game he debuted in.Īs such, Reiko isn't exactly the most popular fighter in Mortal Kombat history.

Notably, Reiko hasn't been playable or even at all relevant since Mortal Kombat Armageddon. It's also possible fans will have to wait much longer to see Mortal Kombat 12, so they should keep their expectations in check for now."Ah, Reiko's back," suddenly said r00000r in a random GameFAQS thread. Alternatively, perhaps the game will be featured at E3 or some other equivalent event earlier in the summer. EVO 2023 will take place August 4 to 6 in Las Vegas, and while the event is primarily focused on hosting tournaments, it's also been known for game reveals and announcements.

There aren't any major gaming events happening in the near future where a Mortal Kombat 12 reveal would make sense, but perhaps the game will get a proper unveiling at EV0 2023 in August. Boon previously hinted that Mortal Kombat 12 will have more 3D-era characters, but otherwise fans will have to wait for an official revel to learn more about the project. Perhaps Injustice 3 will even be the project that NetherRealm tackles after Mortal Kombat 12, assuming the rumors about the studio's potential Marvel game don't materialize into anything of substance.Īs far as Mortal Kombat 12 goes, it's anyone's guess as to what the new game will entail. In fact, Injustice 3 seems like a virtual guarantee, it's just a matter of when. In response to the Mortal Kombat 12 leak, Boon took to Twitter to say, "So who has heard the news about Injustice 3?" Boon's tweet amassed over 37,000 likes, though it seems not everyone understood the joke.īoth the Mortal Kombat and Injustice franchises are massively successful, so while NetherRealm's next game seems to be Mortal Kombat 12, that doesn't mean Injustice 3 isn't a possibility down the line. RELATED: Mortal Kombat 12 Could Use New Game Engineīoon is known to troll fans on Twitter, teasing them about NetherRealm's new projects or characters that could be coming to his games. Discovery earnings call has seemingly confirmed Mortal Kombat 12 as the studio's next project, with fans potentially learning more or even playing the game some time later this year. In the meantime, rumors have persisted that NetherRealm is working on a Marvel fighting game, but nothing official has been announced about that supposed project to date.
Injustice 3 leaked roster series#
Previously, series creator Ed Boon narrowed down the studio's next project to being either Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3, though stopped short of confirming which game was coming first. Mortal Kombat 12 has really always been an inevitability, but now it seems fans have confirmation that it's NetherRealm's next game. The Mortal Kombat franchise is one of the longest-running franchises in all of video gaming, with consistently positive reviews and strong sales.

Discovery earnings call leaked the existence of Mortal Kombat 12, and franchise creator Ed Boon had the perfect reaction.
