Warner Bros. Discovery made the announcement during its earnings call today. A clip from the call that's being passed around Twitter includes confirmation from Andrew Slabin, Warner Bros. Discovery's executive vice president of global investor strategy, that Mortal Kombat 12 is slated for 2023.

"And there's lots more to come, including the highly-anticipated Mortal Kombat 12 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, games also set for release this year with amibitious launch projections," Slabin said.

I guess some voice actors will get extra work.

Shouldn't they all wear masks? They might have to fight a big covid alien.

I recall FRUA had some artists who did some xmen but i don't recall if anyone made MK sprites. I'll gave to check.

Wonder if this is how they meant to announce it? Probably has a big showing during E3 time, then comes out sometime during October and November...given the title, October sounds right. There was on four months and twelve days between the announcement of MK11 at the Game Awards and its release in April.

I guess it’s also always possible they announce it during the June E3 time, then it just comes out in July. But end of year, (looks like the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy is coming out in July) before Christmas sounds more likely.

Holy shit they're going to add The Tick to Mortal Kombat.

 

[NecroLord]

Holy shit they're going to add The Tick to Mortal Kombat.

Yeah, question is what character won't they add? I find it really silly, adding so many different characters from various franchises.

Characters from Mortal Kombat's biggest rivals? Or did they already do crossovers?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Mugen Koombat!

 

[Melcar]

All these guest characters and crossovers are getting tiring. Just more excuses not to make their own original characters and balloon up their rooster.

 

[Lacrymas]

We did get new original characters. They were *all* terrible. Who actually likes the kombat kids or Kollector? D'Vorah and Cetrion are ok, I guess.

That's part of why they do it. They are creatively bankrupt.

They’re adding Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh of Lethal Weapon just in time for the new movie.

They do it because they sell, simple as that. A small handful of people might bitch about guest characters, but they wouldn’t be doing them if people weren’t buying them.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Steve Urkel & Urkel bot too?


Oh my! Robocop & the Terminator have competition.

That's the moment when they sould realize that TONS of great characters are at hand - just bring back 3D era roster Havik, Kira, Ken 'Kobra' Masters, Taven, Daegon, Sareena, Hsu Hao, Onaga, Moloch etc.

 

[Reinhardt]

Havik, Kira, Ken 'Kobra' Masters, Taven, Daegon, Sareena, Hsu Hao, Onaga, Moloch

who?

 

[Lacrymas]

Havik is cool and I'd like to see him come back, but the others are non-entities. Who even remembers that Kobra exists, lol.

 

[Reinhardt]

who even remembers that havik wommyn?

 

[Silverfish]

who even remembers that havik wommyn?

Fair enough, but in an even shorter timeframe who remembers Ferra & Torr or Cetrion? May as well try the old unpopular characters since the new ones aren't setting the world on fire either.

 

[Reinhardt]

there was new characters after mk3?!

 

[Silverfish]

Only one.

Exactly.
Sure, some of those characters aren't that great, but they were present in previous MK games. Still better than adding characters from other franchises.

 

[Lacrymas]

If I were to guess, guest characters sell better or are safer.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Some? Deadly Alliance introduced 11 new characters and Kenshi is the only good one of the bunch. There’s like maybe three characters of that Xbox/PS2 era of Mortal Kombat games that are good enough to warrant a return.

Hsu Hao looks like a Chinese Leather Daddy in the background of a ‘90s comic. He looks like like he’s going to fight in a underground martial arts tournament, and more like he’s going to fuck in some underground sex dungeon. His design sucked, his attacks sucked, even just his idle animation sucked.

Then bring back other characters, like the three chicks you fight in MK: Mythologies Sub-Zero, who were Quan Chi's assassins.
