In recent weeks, a number of leaks have pointed to an imminent announcement for Mortal Kombat 12. NetherRealm has begun teasing a new game as part of its Mortal Kombat anniversary celebrations but a new leak has revealed everything we need to know.
Early rumours around Mortal Kombat 12 claimed that the game would be a reboot of sorts, with a campaign mode that resets the timeline and allows for a whole new generation of Mortal Kombat stories to be told. Now, it would seem that NetherRealm is going all-in on this reboot idea and is actually calling the game ‘Mortal Kombat', or ‘Mortal Kombat 1'.

KitGuru Says: It looks like we're heading towards a full-scale reboot for Mortal Kombat. I've really enjoyed several of the Mortal Kombat games over the years and spent a lot of time with MK10, but I've never been a huge follower of the main story. With that in mind, this reboot is quite exciting, as it opens up a perfect entry point for those looking to jump in for the first time.
