We may have just gotten a Mortal Kombat 12 first teaser, though it’s a pretty brief one. The possible teaser was revealed at the end of a dev “thank you” video that thanked players for enjoying the Mortal Kombat series throughout the years.

Here’s the video below on YouTube, featuring developers and designers at NetherRealm Studios, including series co-creator Ed Boon.

Boon ends his message by stating that “we’re not quite done yet,” after which the video cuts to a brief shot of what appears to be small grainy particles following down, with one of the grains exploding violently before the video ends.

The video was also uploaded by Ed Boon on his Twitter account, with replies pointing out that the falling grains may be the Sands of Time within Kronika’s Hourglass.

Due to the violent explosion of the grain of sand, it’s possible that this may be referencing a timeline reset for the Mortal Kombat series, though we can’t really do much outside of speculation due to the vague nature of the teaser. Still, based on this first look, it seems like NetherRealm has big plans for Mortal Kombat 12, so it will be interesting to see what the sands mean once we learn more information.

Interestingly, Mortal Kombat 12 was actually revealed to come out in 2023 thanks to an earnings call at Warner Bros., so we’ll likely hear more about MK12 in the near future.
