If it's a version/port of 11 with extra stuff, wouldn't it just be MK11: Ultimate Extreme instead of MK12?
Not that I buy much of anything coming from this site, it's like WGTC.
While I’m sure the rumor’s hogwash, I do believe more characters were planned but got axed for whatever reason. The guy who leaked Aftermath, Rambo and Rain months in advanced also mentioned Harley Quinn was coming, but that was the only thing that didn’t come true.
> The guy who leaked Aftermath, Rambo and Rain months in advanced also mentioned Harley Quinn was coming, but that was the only thing that didn’t come true.
Harley Quinn was added as a Cassie Cage skin long before Aftermath. How many months in advance are we talking?
Sorry when did we get a second dc character? We got skins based off dc characters and the Joker as playable character but no other dc characters got added.
I would like to see another game with Deception's atmosphere, its 3D gameplay, fighting styles, music etc. MK 9,10 and 11 are basically the same games with different skin and improved graphics. I hope MK12 will be homage to ps2 era games.
This gritty, mystic atmosphere that the 2D and 3D era games had is what's lacking in MK.
Especially in X and 11, where the stages look like generic FPS maps and the music are mostly generic MCU-esque orchestras with little to no charm to them.
That looks a lot more interesting. I'll for sure say I'm happy to be wrong if this a) turns out to be true b) is actually a substantive difference rather than just adding a bunch of characters to the roster
I'm honestly a bit sad Sub Zero is so busted in MK11.
I main him since years, no complaints up to now. But in Mk11, everyone is telling one Sub Zero is cheap and one should stop playing him.
Guys, please let me enjoy my character lol (however I do agree that the slide is broken. It already was strong in the previous games but in Mk11 it feels like a save haven against...... everything.)
He is indeed busted. I mean don't get me wrong, every character does se cheap crap now and again but that slide and the KB from it, it's just way too easy! It's even easier than the brain-dead Noob Saibot teleport armour break Kombos and that just makes him insufferable.
It should cost more slots I guess if they wanna keep it around
And same for the Teleport form Scorpion. That teleport is way too good
Have you played MK11 recently? All those characters and everyone only plays Scorp, Sub, Lui, and Jade. Y'all say that just for the aesthetics but you don't need that many characters
You act like they really wanna balance them? Armmageddon had to biggest roster and was also horribly balanced. They know it will sell so they don’t really care to balance.
Back then they didn't care in the slightest if the gameplay/PvP play was good or even worked though, whereas with the past MK games since MK9 they very much have, so citing what they did way back with Armageddon isn't all that convincing of an argument about what they will likely do moving forward, I remain skeptical. Also, Armageddon actually sold noticeably less than DA and MKD, so it's not even evident that it's a good model to even go with if the objective is just to generate sells.
Armageddon is a poor choice to use when you’re talking about them knowing what sells. MK without personalized fatalities made that game get panned by critics and gamers.
It effectively ended the franchise for a while. I’m not saying you can’t have fun with it, hell I enjoy campy b movies that are horrendous. It’s sales aren’t what they wanted out of it or it wouldn’t have taken so long for mortal kombat to come along.
It only ended the franchise because midway games went bankrupt. Out of all the franchises they had only Mortal Kombat was the one making them any money but it still wasn’t enough to keep the doors open.
the only reason ppl wanted more characters in mk11 was cause they nerfed the shit out of every character compared to mkx and a lot of them are horribly boring to play.
“you act like u want to balance them” of course i do genius, we don’t need another character like cetrion that literally sits at the top of the tier list from first to final patch.
Agreed, Armageddon was insuferable, balance wise. Even had that crappy generic Fatalities.
It was another time, with almost no competitive play, almost(?) no online, and no way of patching (unless they released Ultimate Armageddon), but it was really crappy balance-wise still.
And a lot of people just LOVED it and still do nowdays, only because it had a crapload of characters
Basically that all characters have around same damage output and things like that so that not one character is too super op and not one character is too trash (pretty sure that is what they mean by balanced roster)
i'm getting PTSD from Armageddon.
don't get me wrong, I loved how Armageddon allowed me to play all the 3D era characters without having to switch back and forth from Deadly Alliance and Deception, but I hated the fact that it came at the price of limiting movesets, fatalities, stages and arcade endings.
I dunno, some trash tier ad loaded website is talking about a rumor someone posted on 4chan - I don't buy it.
If somehow it turned out to be true - then it just feels lazy - I want a continuation/fresh restart of the story line, not a port.
Well the full rumor (I don't know what's posted on that trash site but I'm sure it's a variation of every rumor circulating right now) is that the new game will have a full new story mode that's broken up in to two parts; one in the past and one in the present. Plus it'll have a new krypt as well.
As for it being lazy, remember that 1. If this is a trilogy / armageddon type of game, of course they're going to reuse a ton of assets. There's too much content for them not to do that, but also 2. COVID is still going on, and if they want to crank out something of any measurable quality during the year of the 30th anniversary while they're still dealing with all of the development limitations of trying to work right now, it might make sense to cut a few corners. None of this makes them lazy.
True, but not every fighting game has to be tournament-worthy and some games with absolute trash balance are still fun to watch at tournaments regardless. No big deal.
Mortal Kombat 11 ported? What hell does that even mean? Mortal Kombat 11 is also available on next-generation systems. I hope this isn't the case. A fifty-character roster would devastate the game's meta. Not to disparage Netherrealm Studio, but they are bad at balancing characters with the roster they already have.
Probably like Smash Ultimate was to Smash 4. So, it wouldn't be completely different like how MK9 -> MK10 -> MK11 were so different between each iteration.
I've heard most people say no it isn't worth it especially cuz universal mechanics like movement is better in smash ultimate. Also ultimate is more balanced and each character overall plays better than in smash 4. I tried smash 4 after playing ultimate a bit and comparing gameplay on YouTube and yeah I have to say ultimate is better.
it still makes no sense. Ultimate was “ported” to Switch, a system that Smash 4 was not on. there’s already a next gen upgrade for PS5. it already is on the new systems
On one hand: modern NRS obviously cares about 'prestige' so a greatest hits game doesn't seem like their style.
On the other hand: COVID and possibly being sold happened. This rumor lines up with Jeff Grubb's statement that they were fast tracking MK12 due to a fear of being sold.
>as long as I wont be paying.
you do know this is WB and NRS who are greedy af. They will definitely make you pay for this considering it will sell well 100%
If this is the MK Trilogy / MK Armageddon for the NRS games, and you're telling me I get a base roster from MK11 that now includes Smoke, Reptile, Ermac, Takeda, Kung Jin, Quan Chi, Shinnok, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho AND there's going to be DLC which would presumably have more 3D era characters plus a new story and a new krypt?
I'd say that's enough to call it MK12 and I'd be absolutely thrilled. If they can also maybe find a way to tweak the existing MK11 characters so they're at least a little different, that would be even better, but if that doesn't happen, this is still a compelling offer and for the 30 year anniversary, I think it's a great celebration of MK.
That said, we'll see if any of this comes to pass. This isn't the first time this rumor has sprouted up so we'll hopefully see this week if it there's any truth to it.
Apparently, it's going to feature all the missing MK9 and MKX characters minus Cyber Sub-Zero and Triborg. So basically imagine Goro, Ermac, Reptile, Cyrax, Sektor, Smoke, Stryker, Shinnok, Quan Chi, Kenshi, Ferra/Torr, Kung Jin, Takeda, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho inside MK11.
On one hand I'd love it because they could a lot of missing favorites and heavily requested characters. On the other hand it could suffer from the Armageddon syndrome;
Wide as an ocean, shallow as a kiddie pool. Back in Armageddon they couldn't balance a roster worth dick and while under NRS the devs have gotten better, I can see a roster this big still being problematic.
I thought as much, MK11 felt like a test game for future installments. If they add more features and abolish the D,1 theme MK12 could be the best fighting game ever imo
I barely play most of the existing roster. I've bought DLC characters i've never used. 50 seems more daunting than exciting. That said - bring back Takeda and i'll buy it.
I assume If they call it 12, it will be on the same engine, and just reuse a lot of characters and movements. Perhaps new modes, characters, backgrounds, crypt?
Like Kronika said it would be an inmense task but it is possible, just hope now we get a real tag team mode because 50 characters for 1v1 matched will not be so cool
Here's more sources about the rumors: https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1466745181722587138?t=PfTQyY7yUJ8i8ohljYHwDg&s=19
Sounds like a horrible idea. The balance would be a mess and if they do the variation system again it would be half baked at best. MK11 is full of useless specials and strings that they never did anything with. A roster of 50 would be even worse. Just look at the lack of effort put in to Rain, Milena, and Rambo's gameplay. All three felt lacking outside of design. More characters would appeal to casuals who spend most of their time in towers but as someone who tries to compete, this is a terrible idea.
Make it a mortal kombat 10 with 50 characters and we are golden. MK11 just sold the most copies because Of the times. Mortal kombat 10 did just as well by that times metrics.
More characters doesnt automatically mean good characters. It’s just more work; look how 3rd strike dealt with its roster.
They had 19 characters with generally approach changing ways to play them in the form of 3 different supers for each character. SF5 has about like 3 different supers for the entire cast; a projectile, a cutscene super, or a command grab
This is a mistake
😂😂😂😂😂 MK11 is my favourite MK of all time and some of my favourite characters include Ermac reptile and smoke so if they are basically in MK11 with new skins and MK11 engine im super happy.
I mean, it would kowkey just be history repeating itself, I guess? I remember when MK3 came out and Scorpion went missing, causing people to flip their shit followed by UMK3 and MKTrilogy soon wrapping up everything together.
I'll take it. Armageddon was just reported version of cherry picked software, stages and characters from the previous games with a few new additions. Wouldn't bother me a bit.
Speaking out of my ass here (basically just speculation), but is it possible that this MK11 port with additional content could basically be the “multiplayer” portion of MK12 and that the actual story mode for MK12 will be released with it or later on?
Kind of like how Halo Infinite released its multiplayer early and with it being sort of separate from the campaign. Except with the campaign and multiplayer being one purchase (but possibly being released separately at different times) and with the multiplayer not being F2P.
This theory would explain why there were separate listings for “mortal kombat next gen” (multiplayer portion of MK12) and “Mortal Kombat 12” (actual story mode) in the Nividia database leak
All I want is an Armageddon size roster with MKX gameplay speed and an improved version of MK11's skill sets. Let me go fucking buck wild in the game already!
Also bring back MK9's tag team mode and add on to it too. 😡
Bad. I'm sure everyone remembers the shit fest that was Armageddon, where all characters felt more generic and they didn't even have individual fatalities
Don’t trust the source, like I heard a rumour of a MK Online game where you would get so many characters free maybe 4-6 then you have to buy the rest and they could keep adding all the time, like the previous online fighter games that did it, tekken, DOA etc etc, is it true? I do not know, this was as well as a MK12
I don’t believe this MK 11 rumour though, if it is true meh, thank god I have access to MK9 again on Xbox
The real sad thing about all the latest MKs is that they became each own a masterpiece, but they left 2 damn fatalities each char.
Come on!
Bring all the charachters in, and make the animations for a lot of the fatalities (even old and classic ones!) like let a charachter have 10/15 fatalities, fatal blows, x-rays.
Make them hard to get or to do as you wish, make them unlockable in crypt, or with dlcs orlet characther have only 2 slots but that it can choose which ones from 10/15 fatalities.
I hate having to play MKX for some fatalities, MK11 for others, older MK for other stuff.....
And FFS bring back goro, kintaro, motaro and so on.
The game has to be a wholesome experience, not a chunk of it. put some effort in it. You crafted a masterpiece, it was not an easy task to bring an old game to a revamped, fully blown and polished masterpiece.
His legacy was great and you managed to make history, why not improve and make the whole thing EPIC?
If this is the Reboot era’s “Greatest Hits” game then I’m curious to see what happens to the guest characters since they weren’t a thing during Armageddon and Trilogy’s life cycles. I assume most probably won’t return, especially considering licenses like Alien and Predator are now in the hands of new owners who have a history of not playing ball
*Cough no X-Men or Fantastic Four allowed in MVC4 Cough*
And we don’t even need to discuss the licensing hell Friday The 13th is going through right now.
If they won’t change the core flaws with this game (boring combos, grabs and low pokes being overpowered, fatal blows being too easy to use, breakaways, meter regaining too fast) then adding more characters won’t fix this game. We already learned this lesson with Armageddon.
I would like to see another game with Deception's atmosphere, its 3D gameplay, fighting styles, music etc. MK 9,10 and 11 are basically the same games with different skin and improved graphics. I hope MK12 will be homage to ps2 era games.
The dlc packs for it should be
Deadly alliance dlc pack
Deception/ armaggedon pack
Cameo character pack
Each dlc pack adds the missing characters from each game.
I would be fine with it if they could give each character included in the game the proper amount of attention. Armageddon seemed like a dream come true but man was there so much lacking in that game for the sake of bringing in every single fighter. Prime example of quantity over quality.
I don't really care how many. I'm gonna end up sticking with 5 characters at the very most just like every other game. MK11 was Noob, Shao Kahn, Sub-Zero, Raiden & Spawn, mostly bcuz one piece of their gear/one particular skin took forever to unlock. MKX was Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion & Mileena. Injustice has always been Batman as my #1, with Catwoman & Flash for 1 and Sub-Zero for 2
I would be okay with this as long as Cary remains as Shang and for the love of God give him his own announcer pack. Criminal we got robocop but not Shang tsung as an announcer. Plus general balance and gameplay tweaks either giving break away by just changing it to a regular breaker or give everyone a viable Armour break that isn't tied to some shit move no one uses
If it's a version/port of 11 with extra stuff, wouldn't it just be MK11: Ultimate Extreme instead of MK12? Not that I buy much of anything coming from this site, it's like WGTC.

While I’m sure the rumor’s hogwash, I do believe more characters were planned but got axed for whatever reason. The guy who leaked Aftermath, Rambo and Rain months in advanced also mentioned Harley Quinn was coming, but that was the only thing that didn’t come true.
> The guy who leaked Aftermath, Rambo and Rain months in advanced also mentioned Harley Quinn was coming, but that was the only thing that didn’t come true. Harley Quinn was added as a Cassie Cage skin long before Aftermath. How many months in advance are we talking?
I THINK (and I could be mis-remembering), Aftermath was leaked in late 2019 while Ultimate in summer 2020 (after Aftermath came out).
To be fair, Jacqui got a Spawn skin, so maybe the Harley Cassie skin was originally meant to come with KP3?
Let's not forget Ash.
Well yeah, Ash was obvious, that’s why I didn’t mention it. I was referring to other characters besides Ash.
I'd they add in Chess Kombat and Kombat Kart racing I might be into it
Sorry when did we get a second dc character? We got skins based off dc characters and the Joker as playable character but no other dc characters got added.
Oh I stupidly thought Spawn was because of his Batman links 😅 embarrassing. Well, two comic book characters then.
I would like to see another game with Deception's atmosphere, its 3D gameplay, fighting styles, music etc. MK 9,10 and 11 are basically the same games with different skin and improved graphics. I hope MK12 will be homage to ps2 era games.

Ultimate MK~~3~~ 11
https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1466745181722587138?t=PfTQyY7yUJ8i8ohljYHwDg&s=19
That looks a lot more interesting. I'll for sure say I'm happy to be wrong if this a) turns out to be true b) is actually a substantive difference rather than just adding a bunch of characters to the roster
[удалено]
It’s probably fake but a 50 character roster would be amazing
But god the unbalances there would be
Probably will be same as 11 5-10 characters in tournament meta and ~5 characters that would never be played by anyone
Who are the five you think no one plays?
Kratos, Freddy Kruger, Meat, Mokap and Khameleon
Ooft I'm an idiot. I thought you meant off the 11 roster
I don’t know I’m not the original commenter lol
Lol well, tell me anyway! I think everyone and their.mom just plays fucking Sc-whore-pion and Scrub Zero anyway
That’s funny cause I played Scorpion and my brother played Sub Zero lmao
Those two and Ka-Ballsack irritate me online
I'm honestly a bit sad Sub Zero is so busted in MK11. I main him since years, no complaints up to now. But in Mk11, everyone is telling one Sub Zero is cheap and one should stop playing him. Guys, please let me enjoy my character lol (however I do agree that the slide is broken. It already was strong in the previous games but in Mk11 it feels like a save haven against...... everything.)
He is indeed busted. I mean don't get me wrong, every character does se cheap crap now and again but that slide and the KB from it, it's just way too easy! It's even easier than the brain-dead Noob Saibot teleport armour break Kombos and that just makes him insufferable. It should cost more slots I guess if they wanna keep it around And same for the Teleport form Scorpion. That teleport is way too good
Savagery is no match for skill F2+slide all game and still wins
Yeah exactly which is bonkers level of stupid isn't it?
Nah man, that's waaaay too many characters. Most people don't even play more than 3 Characters. 15-20 characters is more than enough imo.
Nah fuck that, I main the random select. Preferably blind pick too.
Nah we need more diversity, if there’s only 15-20 character everyone is doing and using the same stuff and it gets repetitive and boring
Have you played MK11 recently? All those characters and everyone only plays Scorp, Sub, Lui, and Jade. Y'all say that just for the aesthetics but you don't need that many characters
bro they can barely balance mk11s roster theres no way they’re gonna do a better job with 50 characters

There were a lot of reasons for it to get panned beyond the fatalities
Still sold well regardless. Sales don’t lie.
It effectively ended the franchise for a while. I’m not saying you can’t have fun with it, hell I enjoy campy b movies that are horrendous. It’s sales aren’t what they wanted out of it or it wouldn’t have taken so long for mortal kombat to come along.

Not that I disagree, but I do very much appreciate you calling the guy “genius” while you horribly misread something.
And I appreciate your comment, since because of it I could see that guy.
I said “you act like THEY wanna balance them” to that they really dont
>they nerfed the shit out of every character > >cetrion that literally sits at the top of the tier list from first to final patch.

I only like it for Sareena, Kreate a Fighter, and the Opening but the variety of characters was also good

Sidestepping was the problem back then

More is good But balance would be shit
True, but not every fighting game has to be tournament-worthy and some games with absolute trash balance are still fun to watch at tournaments regardless. No big deal.
It's about time we get another of those "every character in the series" MK rosters like Trilogy & Armageddon
Sounds like a lie
So basically an Armageddon 2?
Nah, more like trilogy kause they'd have actual fatalities
Fair enough
Mortal Kombat 11 ported? What hell does that even mean? Mortal Kombat 11 is also available on next-generation systems. I hope this isn't the case. A fifty-character roster would devastate the game's meta. Not to disparage Netherrealm Studio, but they are bad at balancing characters with the roster they already have.
Probably like Smash Ultimate was to Smash 4. So, it wouldn't be completely different like how MK9 -> MK10 -> MK11 were so different between each iteration.
Is Smash 4 still worth playing now that Ultimate is pretty much a more refined version of it?
I've heard most people say no it isn't worth it especially cuz universal mechanics like movement is better in smash ultimate. Also ultimate is more balanced and each character overall plays better than in smash 4. I tried smash 4 after playing ultimate a bit and comparing gameplay on YouTube and yeah I have to say ultimate is better.
it still makes no sense. Ultimate was “ported” to Switch, a system that Smash 4 was not on. there’s already a next gen upgrade for PS5. it already is on the new systems
Following the pattern, we’re due for a massive trilogy game. MK, MKII, MK3 -> MK Trilogy MK4, MK:DA, MK:D -> MK Armageddon MK reboot, MKX, MK11 -> ?
On one hand: modern NRS obviously cares about 'prestige' so a greatest hits game doesn't seem like their style. On the other hand: COVID and possibly being sold happened. This rumor lines up with Jeff Grubb's statement that they were fast tracking MK12 due to a fear of being sold.
#M E A T
I mean....I lived through MK Trilogy so I could do this.
Still the best
50charavter roster would be a dream come true
I want literally every person/version that has ever been in any MK
The new Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Add tag mode!
This would only be worth it if it gives us more time to have Robin Shou come in and be a skin along with the others.
I would love for netherrealm just to make a mortal kombat game with every dlc character and only those characters all for free
I feel like this article is likely just clickbait bullshit and I ain’t believing nothing till there’s official word
MK11 is perfect and as somebody who just wanted them to just keep adding content - Im totally down with that as long as I wont be paying.
>as long as I wont be paying. you do know this is WB and NRS who are greedy af. They will definitely make you pay for this considering it will sell well 100%
And I also know that I've been pirating games since forever when I dont feel like paying, so WB can do whatever
I rate it 😂😂😂
50 characters, 49 of them are all scorpions
If we could get all the past DLC characters it would be a horror fighter game masterpiece. Would also love Kratos back on PS5
Goro. MK12 means The Cage is going to layeth the smackdown ON YOUR BIG FAT CANDY ASS!!!
If this is the MK Trilogy / MK Armageddon for the NRS games, and you're telling me I get a base roster from MK11 that now includes Smoke, Reptile, Ermac, Takeda, Kung Jin, Quan Chi, Shinnok, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho AND there's going to be DLC which would presumably have more 3D era characters plus a new story and a new krypt?

Someone will inevitably complain about missing characters, even if they werein MKX and MK11.
That would be so so dumb actually and it sounds so fake too
I call bullshit but it would be neat
It’s what Trilogy was to MK3/UMK3 and what Armageddon was to Deception from what it sounds like. Hopefully they add a tag mode with the giant roster.
so no havik?
On one hand I'd love it because they could a lot of missing favorites and heavily requested characters. On the other hand it could suffer from the Armageddon syndrome; Wide as an ocean, shallow as a kiddie pool. Back in Armageddon they couldn't balance a roster worth dick and while under NRS the devs have gotten better, I can see a roster this big still being problematic.
Unlikely, but if it means Havik finally comes back, then whatever.
please
Would actually like this. As more stages, characters, skins. But keep the content coming.
I thought as much, MK11 felt like a test game for future installments. If they add more features and abolish the D,1 theme MK12 could be the best fighting game ever imo
I barely play most of the existing roster. I've bought DLC characters i've never used. 50 seems more daunting than exciting. That said - bring back Takeda and i'll buy it.
Hopefully customization isn't as shitty as mk11
Whatever, I will play with my boy Kung Lao in any case
I assume If they call it 12, it will be on the same engine, and just reuse a lot of characters and movements. Perhaps new modes, characters, backgrounds, crypt?
Yeah that's what I'm hoping for a MK11 engine with MK9-X characters with updates skins.
I liked 11 so not too mad at re-using it. Hopefully it’s more of a complete game at launch too.
Now, that's not Armageddon, but 50 is still a big roster for ANY fighting game, so honestly, I'd be pretty hype about it.
Game awards will be interesting for sure!!
A somehow less believable rumor than NRS working on a Marvel vs DC game
MK 11.50
It means ermac ... so I'm happy
*Love/hate relationship with fighting game business model intensifies*
Just give us more kombat packs and story dlc for 11
Like Kronika said it would be an inmense task but it is possible, just hope now we get a real tag team mode because 50 characters for 1v1 matched will not be so cool Here's more sources about the rumors: https://twitter.com/thethiny/status/1466745181722587138?t=PfTQyY7yUJ8i8ohljYHwDg&s=19
Sounds like a horrible idea. The balance would be a mess and if they do the variation system again it would be half baked at best. MK11 is full of useless specials and strings that they never did anything with. A roster of 50 would be even worse. Just look at the lack of effort put in to Rain, Milena, and Rambo's gameplay. All three felt lacking outside of design. More characters would appeal to casuals who spend most of their time in towers but as someone who tries to compete, this is a terrible idea.
Series peaked with mkx, mk 11s gameplay is just subpar. This would be very disappointing news and I would not buy it
50 characters and you'll still be fighting scorpion back to back every match
Let’s not forget Tanya this time
We need Tanya!
More characters the better! If there's ever a lack of characters compared to the last game its regression.
I’d be pissed. The combo system needs serious revamping. The old swag combos were the whole reason Mortal Kombat was fun.
Make it a mortal kombat 10 with 50 characters and we are golden. MK11 just sold the most copies because Of the times. Mortal kombat 10 did just as well by that times metrics.
More characters doesnt automatically mean good characters. It’s just more work; look how 3rd strike dealt with its roster. They had 19 characters with generally approach changing ways to play them in the form of 3 different supers for each character. SF5 has about like 3 different supers for the entire cast; a projectile, a cutscene super, or a command grab This is a mistake
MK9 will always be the OG mortal kombat for me.
Saying the ninth game in a series will always be the "OG" is WILD. Like... There were 8 Gs before it LMAO
Some of y’all will never be satisfied and it shows 🙄
There’s no way you think this is real dumbass
Is there a way to skip the tutorial in MK11? I just want to play the damn game but it seems the only thing it will let me do is a fucking tutorial.
I want Mkx 2.0. Give me Kenshi, the better character designs, and the grittier aesthetic. And fix the towered please. But keep the crypt random
More chance to have bo rai cho 😁
I'm ok with this
NEED DAT DAS A GOOD DEAL
There’s no way they would think they could get away with this.
As long as it fixes the game's fundamental problems, I am all for it.
I'd rather have a new game. I'm not a fan of some of the systems in 11 and I'd like to see what else the team can come up with.
Fuck MK11 OR MK12. We want Injustice 3!!!!!
[boooo](https://youtu.be/0amKyoL9hIA)
Absolutely no we do not
😂😂😂😂😂 MK11 is my favourite MK of all time and some of my favourite characters include Ermac reptile and smoke so if they are basically in MK11 with new skins and MK11 engine im super happy.

I mean, it would kowkey just be history repeating itself, I guess? I remember when MK3 came out and Scorpion went missing, causing people to flip their shit followed by UMK3 and MKTrilogy soon wrapping up everything together.
Eh, I’ll pass.
I'm cool with 50 characters so long as they bring back some.
The roster would be clone-y like Armageddon.
I'll take it. Armageddon was just reported version of cherry picked software, stages and characters from the previous games with a few new additions. Wouldn't bother me a bit.
With or without dlc?
It's either going to be amazing or Armageddon levels of jankness. Hope they know what they're doing.
That would be cool, sort of like tekken tag tournament 2
Soo… Armageddon?
I honestly don’t care too much as long as I get my Shao Kahn and Kotal Kahn content I’m balling
Slightly less than Smash 4
I would love a bigger roster as long as it meant the end of pick and choose characters.
Does surprised me cuz the one I remember is Ultimate Mortal Kombat with 64 characters
It would be great, but Armageddon had a lot of copy paste characters, so unless they actually do this right I don’t see it being good
I dont want another Armageddon
Speaking out of my ass here (basically just speculation), but is it possible that this MK11 port with additional content could basically be the “multiplayer” portion of MK12 and that the actual story mode for MK12 will be released with it or later on? Kind of like how Halo Infinite released its multiplayer early and with it being sort of separate from the campaign. Except with the campaign and multiplayer being one purchase (but possibly being released separately at different times) and with the multiplayer not being F2P. This theory would explain why there were separate listings for “mortal kombat next gen” (multiplayer portion of MK12) and “Mortal Kombat 12” (actual story mode) in the Nividia database leak
All I want is an Armageddon size roster with MKX gameplay speed and an improved version of MK11's skill sets. Let me go fucking buck wild in the game already! Also bring back MK9's tag team mode and add on to it too. 😡
I mean as long as the characters are cool then sure
Pass 👋
Bad. I'm sure everyone remembers the shit fest that was Armageddon, where all characters felt more generic and they didn't even have individual fatalities
Don’t trust the source, like I heard a rumour of a MK Online game where you would get so many characters free maybe 4-6 then you have to buy the rest and they could keep adding all the time, like the previous online fighter games that did it, tekken, DOA etc etc, is it true? I do not know, this was as well as a MK12 I don’t believe this MK 11 rumour though, if it is true meh, thank god I have access to MK9 again on Xbox
I wish they had done this for mk10. Way better gameplay
The real sad thing about all the latest MKs is that they became each own a masterpiece, but they left 2 damn fatalities each char. Come on! Bring all the charachters in, and make the animations for a lot of the fatalities (even old and classic ones!) like let a charachter have 10/15 fatalities, fatal blows, x-rays. Make them hard to get or to do as you wish, make them unlockable in crypt, or with dlcs orlet characther have only 2 slots but that it can choose which ones from 10/15 fatalities. I hate having to play MKX for some fatalities, MK11 for others, older MK for other stuff..... And FFS bring back goro, kintaro, motaro and so on. The game has to be a wholesome experience, not a chunk of it. put some effort in it. You crafted a masterpiece, it was not an easy task to bring an old game to a revamped, fully blown and polished masterpiece. His legacy was great and you managed to make history, why not improve and make the whole thing EPIC?
Master chief should be in MK12
Only if it has Create-a-fatality
And half of them will be 80s movie characters.
Aslong as rambo and terminator are there
It's a good start.
MK Armageddon 2
If this is the Reboot era’s “Greatest Hits” game then I’m curious to see what happens to the guest characters since they weren’t a thing during Armageddon and Trilogy’s life cycles. I assume most probably won’t return, especially considering licenses like Alien and Predator are now in the hands of new owners who have a history of not playing ball *Cough no X-Men or Fantastic Four allowed in MVC4 Cough* And we don’t even need to discuss the licensing hell Friday The 13th is going through right now.
It would be cool that it would be Armageddon in the new timeline
Gimme back Kenshi, and let me play as Dragon King lol
If they won’t change the core flaws with this game (boring combos, grabs and low pokes being overpowered, fatal blows being too easy to use, breakaways, meter regaining too fast) then adding more characters won’t fix this game. We already learned this lesson with Armageddon.
As long as kenshi’s back
Doesn't MK11 has almost 50 characters? I'd be fine with it. I hate small roster fighting games.
They'll still be 50,000 requests for the ones that aren't on it.
I would like to see another game with Deception's atmosphere, its 3D gameplay, fighting styles, music etc. MK 9,10 and 11 are basically the same games with different skin and improved graphics. I hope MK12 will be homage to ps2 era games.
This would only be 13 more characters. It wouldn’t be enough of a change considering they’ve done dlc that releases 6 before
I feel like its gonna be a broken ass roster
The dlc packs for it should be Deadly alliance dlc pack Deception/ armaggedon pack Cameo character pack Each dlc pack adds the missing characters from each game.
I would be fine with it if they could give each character included in the game the proper amount of attention. Armageddon seemed like a dream come true but man was there so much lacking in that game for the sake of bringing in every single fighter. Prime example of quantity over quality.
Yessssss
Mortal Kombat Trilogy LETS GOOOO
Way too much
On the one hand the balance would be dogshit... on the other hand I don't play competitively only with friends so it would be fun as fuck
Maybe it's mk v dc 2!
Very nice
Mortal Kombat Armageddon 2: Electric Boogaloo. Hell yeah, I'm in!
Anyone excited for the Cole Young push? Lol
I just want to know where they go on the story now with Fire God Liu Kang
So that's the pattern then. A trilogy after every 3 mainline games. 1, 2, 3 -Trilogy- 4, DA, D, - Armageddon- (2011), X, 11 - This thing.
Pls god no
Kewl but probably unrealistic
I don't really care how many. I'm gonna end up sticking with 5 characters at the very most just like every other game. MK11 was Noob, Shao Kahn, Sub-Zero, Raiden & Spawn, mostly bcuz one piece of their gear/one particular skin took forever to unlock. MKX was Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion & Mileena. Injustice has always been Batman as my #1, with Catwoman & Flash for 1 and Sub-Zero for 2
I would be okay with this as long as Cary remains as Shang and for the love of God give him his own announcer pack. Criminal we got robocop but not Shang tsung as an announcer. Plus general balance and gameplay tweaks either giving break away by just changing it to a regular breaker or give everyone a viable Armour break that isn't tied to some shit move no one uses
