Mortal Kombat 12, the next game in the fighting franchise, ended up being revealed during an investor call in which the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, let slip that the newest game in the traditional (and very bloody) franchise of fighting games from NetherRealm Studios is in development.

The impact of the leak o292z

The fact that NetherRealm Studios' next project is Mortal Kombat 12 can be considered out of the loop, as the studio has been alternating its releases between fighting game franchises Mortal Kombat e Injustice since 2013. The last game developed by them was Mortal Kombat 11Of 2019. 

Even so, it is not surprising that the studio chooses to bring another volume of the bloody epic. The last game was a tremendous success sales and reviews on all platforms it was released on, including the Nintendo Switch.

Ed Boon, co-creator of the franchise and chief creative officer at NetherRealm Studios, known on social media for his good humor, joked about the fact that there had been this leak, making fun of what happened in a tweet in which he asked his fans about a possible Injustice 3.

A summary of the history of Mortal Kombat 676o5u

Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias for arcades in 1992 by Midway games, Mortal Kombat instantly became a worldwide success, receiving in a short time numerous versions for home and portable devices, in addition to computers of the time. 

After the resounding sales of the first game, the series took off and received many sequels, expanding the cast of playable characters and increasing the dose of absurd moves and the amount of violence. 

The franchise was not limited to video games, receiving in 1994 an adaptation for the big screen starring Christopher Lambert, the eternal Highlander, in the role of the god of thunder Raiden. Two other films were produced, including a recent one from 2021. 

No follow-up could match the mawkish charm of the first, which brought the techno music phenomenon of its soundtrack to the world, using parts of the game's announcer lines in the song, including the eternal "FIGHT!" and reading the complete list of fighters in the game.  

There was also a cartoon of Mortal Kombat in 1996 called Mortal Kombat: The Defenders of the Earth, the animation was not at all violent and aimed at children and youth. Several other animated feature films have been produced in recent years, and they have indeed brought the gallons of gaming blood to the small screen.

In the field of comics, the battle between Earth and the forces of evil also raged, with several series over the decades, since the release of the first Mortal Kombat by labels like Malibu Comics and even DC, nowadays.
