The Wave Report discusses a rumored roster for Mortal Kombat 12
A video from The Wave Report, a YouTube channel known for its coverage of fighting games, centers on a speculative list of 28 fighters that could appear in Mortal Kombat 12. The game has not been officially announced, and much of the information circulating online remains based on rumors and unverified leaks. The video shares a collection of character names purported to be part of the upcoming entry, reflecting the ongoing chatter within the fan and rumor communities rather than confirmed facts from NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
According to the YouTuber’s source, the characters believed to be included in Mortal Kombat 12 are listed below:
- Reptile;
- yermak;
- Below zero;
- Scorpion;
- Liu Kang;
- raid;
- Kitana;
- Jade;
- Milina;
- Tanya;
- Nitara;
- Sindel;
- Shang-Zong;
- Shao Khan;
- Kintaro;
- ona;
- Hawk;
- motar;

Earlier, another round of chatter suggested guest characters for Mortal Kombat 12 might include notable horror icons. Buzz online hinted at the possible addition of Michael Myers from Halloween, Ghostface from Scream, and Frankenstein’s monster. If true, these guest fighters would align with the franchise’s history of crossovers with horror franchises. Rumors pegged an April 2023 window for release, but no verified official date has been announced, and such timelines often shift as development progresses.
There is also mention of a broader confirmation from NetherRealm Studios. Reports claimed that the studio had briefly acknowledged Mortal Kombat 12’s development earlier in the year, though no formal unveiling followed. Fans continue to wait for concrete news from the publisher and developer, hoping for clarity about the roster, mechanics, and release strategy.
Meanwhile, attention has shifted to another major project connected to the same universe. The production of a film titled Mortal Kombat 2 has entered the conversation, with writer Jeremy Slater known for work on The Umbrella Academy, The Exorcist and Moon Knight reported as crafting the script. This development underscores the expanding universe around Mortal Kombat, though it remains separate from the game’s official reveal and rollout plan.
Updates and rumors about Mortal Kombat 12 should be weighed against official communications from the creators and publishers. Until a formal announcement is made, fans should treat lists of fighters as speculative and not confirmable. For context and verification, sources in this space typically include industry outlets and direct statements from the involved studios. (VG Times)
