Ed Boon, the inventor of Mortal Kombat and the president of NetherRealm Studios, has revealed the guest fighter he would most want to see in one of the series’ future instalments. Mortal Kombat 11 was released in 2019, and although many people continue to play it, others are eager for a new instalment in the long-running genre. NetherRealm is working on an unknown new project, and although it could be anything, there are suspicions that the studio’s next game will be Mortal Kombat 12.
Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3 were the two options that Ed Boon narrowed down on Twitter for NetherRealm’s next title. Boon has yet to reveal the title of the studio’s next game, although he has hinted that fans will learn more in 2023. If NetherRealm’s next game is Mortal Kombat 12, one would expect it to have a range of guest combatants, as is customary. It’s anyone’s guess who those guest combatants will be, but if Ed Boon had his way, it would be one specific character.
