The next Mortal Kombat game will be officially unveiled tomorrow

In recent weeks, we've seen a lot of rumours and leaks for the next Mortal Kombat game. At this point, we know quite a bit about the new game through unofficial channels and tomorrow, NetherRealm will finally start making things official. 

In a tweet this evening, NetherRealm revealed plans to reveal the next Mortal Kombat tomorrow, the 18th of May at 2PM BST. With that in mind, we'll have our first official look at Mortal Kombat (potentially titled “Mortal Kombat 1”) tomorrow.

Early rumours around Mortal Kombat 12 claimed that the game would be a reboot of sorts, with a campaign mode that resets the timeline. With the game now being referred to simply as Mortal Kombat 1, that idea is further reinforced.

We may only get a short teaser trailer tomorrow rather than a full reveal, as this year's major summer game announcement events are coming up over the next few weeks. I expect we'll see a teaser, followed by a more in-depth gameplay reveal at the PlayStation Showcase on the 24th of May, or perhaps in June as part of Summer Game Fest.

KitGuru Says: Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Tekken will all get new games this year, so it is going to be a very competitive time in the fighting game scene. Which one of the three are you most interested in picking up?
