NetherRealm Studios has launched one more video teasing the following entry in its long-running Mortal Kombat collection – and there is mounting hypothesis it could possibly be hinting at a reboot.
NetherRealm shared a primary teaser at the beginning of this month, appended to a video celebrating Mortal Kombat’s thirtieth anniversary. It confirmed sands steadily trickling by means of an hourglass earlier than a sudden digicam zoom centered in on the final grain, which then exploded.
It is now been 4 years for the reason that launch of Mortal Kombat 11, and news-starved followers instantly started speculating NetherRealm’s mysterious video was ultimately teasing an imminent reveal for Mortal Kombat 12 – with one concept suggesting Kronika’s time-and-space-altering hourglass, which featured prominently within the earlier recreation, might have gone awry, someway resetting the universe.
That might, after all, present a handy narrative excuse to reboot and refresh the long-running collection, and NetherRealm’s newest trailer makes that chance much more probably. In a new video shared by the official Mortal Kombat Twitter account, a digicam slowly follows the seconds-hand of a clock because it ticks towards 12. On the final second, although, the hand leaps 12 totally, springing all the best way over to 1 – giving reboot theorists loads of contemporary ammunition.
It stays unclear when the following Mortal Kombat will get its official unveiling, however the “It’s virtually time” accompanying at the moment’s video – to not point out writer Warner Bros’ earlier affirmation the sport is launching this 12 months – suggests followers will not have lengthy to attend.
