With the outstanding success of the movie and Mortal Kombat 11 (one of the best fighting games ever!), there’s absolutely no doubt that NetherRealm Studios is deep in the planning stages for the follow-up, Mortal Kombat 12. Will It Be Influenced by the Live-Action Movie? By expanding its lore, it’s opened up the doors to more creativity and better storytelling. Gone are the days when Mortal Kombat was the video game equivalent of a straight-up Jean-Claude Van Damme action film, since it’s embraced the mythological aspect and become more of a fantasy epic. This allows the developers and creators to include the characters they choose in the new game, without a fear of breaking canon or upsetting. In fact, no one even bats an eyelid when a young Johnny Cage meets his future daughter, Cassie, as an example. Considering the number of gods and supernaturally aged characters, it isn’t uncommon to see fighters time-travelling across different timelines and worlds to compete against each other.

The thing is, it doesn’t matter since most fans have accepted that anything can happen in the franchise. In many ways, it’s the one place that the franchise needs to go-and the timing couldn’t be more perfect.Įveryone knows that Mortal Kombat‘s timeline is about as coherent as DC Comics on a good day.

While most players know the history of the tournament and fighters and seen glimpses via flashbacks, it hasn’t been a core focus of Mortal Kombat yet.īy establishing Mortal Kombat 12 in the past, there’s the possibility to show the full story from the start. The franchise hasn’t shied away from going back to the past (or even visiting an alternate timeline), as players have witnessed prequels in the form of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, which focused on the stories of Bi-Han’s Sub-Zero and Jax respectively. What is probable is the exploration of the days of The Great Kung Lao and his dynasty. Setting Mortal Kombat 12 in a Shang Tsung-ruled world is something that’s far too similar to what players have experienced in the past, so it’s an unlikely scenario. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath‘s story allowed for the player to decide if the timeline goes back to the era of The Great Kung Lao or to allow Shang Tsung to control the realms. While new Mortal Kombat characters and upgraded fighting styles are always welcome, the story is equally important. Naturally, Mortal Kombat 12 will need to do something different than its predecessors if the franchise is to remain the king of fighters. Canon has been established, reset, rewritten, then reset again, as the developers figure out new angles for gamers to explore and experience. Mortal Kombat 12 Could Be the Ultimate PrequelĪfter almost three decades of fighting games, there are few places Mortal Kombat hasn’t visited. More than that, they want to know which characters have made it to the final fighter roster and if their favourites will return in the next instalment. It’s no surprise then that fans are already requesting a release date for the MK11 sequel, Mortal Kombat 12.
