According to an industry insider, Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios is focusing on Mortal Kombat 12 as its next game - rather than DC Comics fighting game sequel Injustice 3, as most fans are expecting, thanks to the ongoing problems at Warner Bros.
NetherRealm confirmed back in July that it had finally ceased working on Mortal Kombat 11 and there would be no more content updates for the game, as the studio was moving on to its next project. This was assumed to be Injustice 3, given how NetherRealm has alternated between the Mortal Kombat and Injustice series since 2011.
However, according to industry insider Jeff Grubb (thanks, VGC) on the Giant Bomb channel, NetherRealm is instead going straight to Mortal Kombat 12 as its next game rather than Injustice 2 or even the rumoured Marvel game. "Mortal Kombat 12 would make the most sense because that's a game they know will make money, it'll sell well," Grubb says. "That's what I've heard is happening... it lines up with the reality and it lines up with what I've heard."
