It’s looking likelier and likelier that the next Mortal Kombat game will be unveiled soon. WB Games officially confirmed earlier this this year that the next instalment in the series would be out in 2023, and developer NetherRealm Studios has also lately been dropping some cryptic teases that seem to be pointing to its announcement. Ahead of that, however, it seems some crucial details on the game have leaked out.

According to prominent leaker @billbil_kun on Twitter, the next Mortal Kombat game is going to be called Mortal Kombat 1, suggesting that it might be a reboot of the franchise. This would align with the game’s most recent tease as well, which showed a clock ticking from 11 and going straight to one, suggesting that after 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11, the series could be skipping a twelfth numbered instalment and instead reset the timeline.

Meanwhile, the leaker also claims that though Mortal Kombat 1 won’t be a cross-gen title, it will still launch on the Nintendo Switch, in spite of it skipping PS4 and Xbox One versions. The game’s Standard Edition will allegedly retail for $70 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the regular $60 on Switch, while it will seemingly also launch with a $110 Premium Edition and a $250 Kollector’s Edition, with the latter being available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only.

As for when the game will be officially announced, it seems that time is fast approaching. On top of NetherRealm Studios’ own teases, leaks have also claimed that the fighter will be announced sometime this month– which, incidentally, aligns with reports of a PlayStation Showcase in the week of May 25.

Meanwhile, leaks also seem to be indicating that DC’s Peacemaker and The Boys’ Homelander could feature in Mortal Kombat 1 as guest characters. Read more on that through here.
