New Mortal Kombat 12 Rumors Surface After Leaked Clips From a Key Voice Actor
Recent chatter around the Mortal Kombat franchise centers on a possible new release from NetherRealm Studios, a developer long associated with the high‑octane fighting series. Fans have been hungry for an official update, and the latest developments have intensified that anticipation.
The whispers began when Andrew Bowen, the actor who provides the voice for Johnny Cage in the series, appeared to share information that suggested there might be more in store for Mortal Kombat beyond Mortal Kombat 11. Bowen appeared to post a video featuring a visit to Warner Bros., the publisher behind the franchise. Behind him, a melody surfaced that many observers felt echoed the classic Mortal Kombat 2 theme. This moment quickly fueled talk that a new installment could be on the horizon, according to industry insiders.
Bowen’s post did not stop there. Shortly after the video surfaced, the actor removed the post from his social media account. This has left fans divided: some believe the removal was a sign that a surprise announcement was imminent, while others worry that the leak might have been accidental or that the clip may have sparked premature expectations for a title that remains officially unconfirmed. In the eyes of many fans, Bowen’s action is interpreted as a potential hint that Johnny Cage may be revisited in a future Mortal Kombat project, prompting renewed speculation about new rules or mechanics in a hypothetical Mortal Kombat 12.
However, there has been no official confirmation from NetherRealm Studios about a Mortal Kombat 12 project. It has been more than three years since the last mainline entry, Mortal Kombat 11, which launched on April 23, 2019. The absence of a formal announcement has only fueled the rumor mill, with players and commentators weighing every new clue for signs of development and release plans.
Overall, the situation remains unresolved. The gaming community continues to monitor any statements from NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, hoping for a clear confirmation, a gameplay reveal, or at least a strategic tease that would set expectations for a new era in Mortal Kombat. The online discourse reflects a blend of excitement, skepticism, and curiosity as fans weigh the potential impact of a new installment on the franchise’s legacy and competitive scene.
