Mortal Kombat 12 Announcement is Imminent. Confirmed to be a Reboot.

Tears of Nintendo
But the last 3 games was one giant reboot....
Given the whole time travel thing though in MK9-11, I think better decision would be start completely from scratch after restoration of the timeline in 12 after Aftermath (depending on which ending they'll be considering as canon and new starting point for 12). Time travel must not be a thing again cuz you can just do that all the time and fix nothing in the end story-wise.

I'm good with a reboot/revisit of the original story. MK1 through MK3 was peak MK.

Should be a paid DLC - then it wouldn't bother anyone.

This teaser just follow MK11 story...Was obvious a restart. Who played mk11 knows that. Liu or Shang do whatever they want with the time...
Maybe Edboon did a plot twist with a Titan interference on the time.
I dont understand the complains...!?

I still think we are getting a remake of MK 1- Trilogy. It's to soon for MK 12 I'm sure Ed and company would want to use UE5 for that release

Far better than the mk2021 movie...I'd watch it, movie wasn't all bad.

I wonder if this is going to be a full on remake? I mean, it IS looking like it. Whatever, I don't care what it is, that story is all over the place. Just make it good, PLEASE. Lol.

Hopefully they don't make the women more manly, and I hope won't have to wait for dlc to get original and sexy versions of characters again.
They did concede to give dlc sexy outfits. I refused to buy the game until that happened.. Thankfully by that time, they had a ultimate Kombat or something bundle and I got it for like $5 or 10... with all the dlc and costumes.
They lost 50some dollars though as I would of bought it day 1 if it wasn't for their sjw pandering bs.
MK has been my favorite fighter since the first. I have bought every new mainline game, even on got the portable version on vita, which was amazing.
Oh the clock is probably just "countdown" do announcement. Not reboot.

So it's not confirmed then, it's hinted at. Big difference.

did you play mk11? more specifically the aftermath expansion?

I did.
Confirmed is a very specific word that should only be used when something is actually, factually, known to be true. We would use journalistic standards for that word.

Reboot Mortal Kombat Armageddon 
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Huh?
I hope you're right. I have my doubts.
They are announcing/teasing this way too early for it to line up with what Grubb said imo

the reboot will happen even if its still not confirmed. Its impossible to continue from the shang tsung ending with all the characters that died , and the liu kang ending means a reboot.
Sequel wise, makes a lot more sense to continue from the liu kang ending. You can restart again the story and start from very interesting events that never were used in a mk game before (aside of flashbacks or short mentions)
Debating about a word is meaningless in this case.

A new timeline is considered a reboot?

That's my biggest single complaint about that game I love it other than that but man are those revenants a bad ugly idea.

I mean... That's still just a sequel though. Just like (2011) was. It's just a reboot inside of a sequel. All of the history still happened. It would still just be all a result of the stuff that happened in Armageddon.
A real, true reboot would separate from the existing story in every way. It might have similar it identical story elements, but canonically it would be entirely stand-alone.

The way MK11 DLC ended it kind of has to be a reboot

Is this the only kind of stories they can tell? How many more times are they going to make a mortal kombat story focused around timey-whimey BS? I liked the MK 9 story, but it really want downhill after that. Tired of all these time resets. That being said: Day 1. Pre order if possible. Wish we could get MK 9 on PS5. Not that stream only stuff from the membership, but a physical rerelease.

Bring back real brutalities combo finishers. Bring back Sindel calling people pathetic and weak. BRING BACK THE GAMEPLAY OF MK9. Far superior to the trash that is MK10-11

Pretty sad that MK9 was the best they had to offer and it just got worse afterwards.

Before this was teased, insiders were already saying MK 12 would be on the PlayStation Showcase so it line ups perfectly.
