If a new Street Fighter and Tekken weren't already enough, it seems we could be getting one more heavy-hitting fighting game in the near future.
In a Warner Bros. Discovery earnings call yesterday, Andrew Slabin - the company's executive vice president of global investor strategy - noted how "Mortal Kombat 12" was set to arrive this year.
Here's what he had to say in an audio clip which has since been shared on social media:
"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 ambitious launch projections."
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon made a joke on social media which appeared to indirectly reference the news from the latest earnings call:
Apart from a 2023 release, there's no set date and we don't actually know what platforms MK12 is locked into just yet - so stay tuned for a more 'official' announcement. This game will follow Mortal Kombat 11, which landed on Xbox platforms in 2019.

I don't wanna say I don't believe him, but.... I don't believe him
All fighting games seem to get a sequel this year, MK 12, Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6 (btw you didn’t report on what was shown by Capcom yesterday, Pure Xbox, that Cammy trailer was great. ), am I missing one?
MK is my favourite fighting game series. Mortal Kombat 10 was such a good game. Remember playing it during the lockdown in 2020.
@Chaudy yeah, MK hands down, thats my game
Not a fighting game fan so i'm just sad all this time they are not doing anything with 'Shaolin Monks' name. Like, make a sequel or remaster or anything. I'll be hyped regardless.
I’ll be looking forward to this one. MK was always one of my favorite video games growing up. They hit their rough spots, but the last few entries have been solid.
