According to the latest leaks, Mortal Kombat 12 will actually be titled Mortal Kombat 1 and will feature guest characters like Homelander from The Boys and Peacemaker from DC Comics. Mortal Kombat 12 was first announced a couple of months ago, and now the official teasers are building anticipation for the upcoming fighting game.The first Mortal Kombat 12 teaser showed little more than an exploding grain of sand, hinting that the game would be following up on Mortal Kombat 11's timeline shake-up. The second Mortal Kombat 12 teaser was a little more revealing, showing a ticking clock that lingered at 11 before jumping to 1, suggesting that Mortal Kombat 12 would actually be a reboot for the franchise. Now leaks from reputable sources suggest that the new game, supposedly called Mortal Kombat 1, is indeed a reboot.According to leaker billbil-kun, whose information was verified by Windows Central, Mortal Kombat 1 will be fully revealed within the next couple of weeks and is aiming to launch at some point this coming September. Come launch, Mortal Kombat fans will apparently have a $69.99 Standard Edition, $109.99 Premium Edition, and $249.99 Kollector's Edition to choose from, while the Nintendo Switch version will cost $59.99. No PS4 or Xbox One versions were mentioned.
The leaks didn't include much information on the Mortal Kombat 1 roster, but fans can expect the game to feature the must-haves and some new characters. As far as guest characters go, the leaks say that the new Mortal Kombat game will have a Character Pass that will add new fighters as DLC, with Peacemaker and Homelander from The Boys floated as two possible, but unconfirmed, options. However, fans should take all this leaked information with a massive grain of salt until the official announcement comes, whenever that may be.
It's been believed for some time that the reveal for the next Mortal Kombat game would be happening some time later this month, and the teasers and leaks seem to point in that direction as well. Nothing official has been announced in regard to a potential Mortal Kombat reveal just yet, though, so fans of the fighting game franchise will have to stay tuned for more information. If the leaks are accurate, though, it seems that the next Mortal Kombat game is going to be taking the series in some unexpected directions.
Mortal Kombat 1 is rumored to be in development for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
