Mortal Kombat has not seen a new entry since 2019, and fans have eager to play the next installment from NetherRealm Studios. Though Warner Bros confirmed Mortal Komat 12 last month, fans have been hoping to see a gameplay reveal soon.
Sonic Fox is a well-known fighting game player in the community with many Mortal Kombat tournament wins. The player recently tweeted, stating he anticipates a Mortal Kombat 12 announcement next week.
While it is questionable whether Sonic Fox knows something about the Mortal Kombat 12 announcement, his tweet excited many fans for a potential reveal.
With the game expected to arrive before the end of the year, it is possible that many professional Mortal Kombat players, including Sonic Fox, have already been told about the announcement.
Previously, NetherRealm Studios invited professional players to showcase engaging and high-level gameplay for their upcoming titles. Therefore, assuming that Sonic Fox has already seen or been made aware of the game is not unreasonable.
To add more fuel to the fire, Jeff Grubb, a well-known leaker in the gaming industry, has also replied to the tweet, adding to the mystery around the announcement. While the tweet is cryptic, the leaker has been known to tease announcements.
The Mortal Kombat social media accounts have also contributed to the anticipation. They have been posting videos from all the previous titles to celebrate the franchise, recently reaching Mortal Kombat 11. Many fans believe that this will be followed by Mortal Kombat 12.
Previously, Ed Boon claimed that a reveal would come within six months. This was back in December, and the six-month window will soon run out. Therefore, fans can expect to hear much more about the game, with the launch planned at the end of the year.
