Never two without three ! A new surprise from Mortal Kombat 12, the third, has already leaked on the Web. If this is confirmed, it will be crazy.
At the rate it’s going, NetherRealm Studios will need Mario to plug the leaks around Mortal Kombat 12. Provided, of course, that these rumors are confirmed during the official announcement which will not be long in coming. But during this time, an unprecedented rumor has been launched and concerns, again, the cast of the game. A mountain of Hollywood muscles would have been chosen to fight with the cult Kombatants of the franchise.
Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Mortal Kombat 12?
Mortal Kombat 12 – or MK1 according to a leak – could be announced as early as next week. Indeed according to Jeff Grubb, journalist for VentureBeat, Sony would finally be ready to shoot big cartridges during a State of Play. A supposedly huge event with PS5 exclusives, like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and why not third-party games like MK12.
We’ll see about the formalization, but the cast of Mortal Kombat 12 would be leaking little by little. Just last week, Jez Corden, editor for Windows Central, claimed that two big stars of Prime Video series could fight alongside Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden and other Liu Kang or Johnny Cage. Peacemaker from the eponymous TV show and Homelander from The Boys. Fighters that would be included in MK12’s Kombat Pass.
Heavy in perspective? During a new podcast, Jez Corden suggested that Conan the barbarians would join the two superheroes mentioned above in Mortal Kombat 12. However, no word on the version of this character. Will you be the one embodied by Arnold Schwarzenegger – who will be found in the new Netflix releases of June 2023 – or an interpretation of the stories of Robert E. Howard? For once, it will obviously be a surprise. Corden was indeed not explicit on the subject. But maybe he’s also in the dark on his side.
MK12 is dead, long live MK1
According to the collector’s leak, MK12 would be a reboot and would therefore be called… Mortal Kombat 1! A name that would go in the direction of teasing ED Boon. The producer, creator and iconic face of the franchise. A few days ago, a video of a clock was posted on Twitter. A dial where the big hand scrolls on 9, 10 and 11, before switching to 1, jumping on the way to 12. As if to announce that the next episode will be called Mortal Kombat 1 and not MK12.
Moreover, this is also what Billbill-kun, a member of the site of good plans Dealabs which leaks PS Plus games, believes to know. And it goes even further. According to its sources, Mortal Kombat 1 would be a PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC exclusive. With all the same a Nintendo Switch version. An output that would be accompanied by a Kollector perhaps canon, but expensive. According to him, the entry ticket for this limited edition would be 250 euros. Or 140 euros more than the simple Deluxe version. No details on the goodies, but there may be a figurine? For Mortal Kombat 11, players had been given a 1:1 mask of Scorpion. And with MK12, it was an 18cm, hand-painted statue of Scorpion as well. Answer, perhaps, very soon with the PlayStation Showcase.
