Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Revealed, Further Hints at Possible Timeline Reset for Franchise

A new Mortal Kombat 12 teaser has just been released, and while it’s just as vague as the first teaser released earlier this month, it does support a theory that many fans have regarding the game’s story direction.

You can watch the Mortal Kombat 12 teaser below:

Interestingly, the teaser doesn’t show anything related to Mortal Kombat itself. Instead, the video shows a clock, with the second hand ticking as intense music plays in the background. The second hand then shakes momentarily as it pauses at 11 before an explosion plays and it jumps to 1, skipping 12 entirely.

It’s possible that the teaser is referencing a potential timeline reset for the Mortal Kombat franchise, especially when you consider the fact that the previous trailer also hinted at the same thing by featuring the Sands of Time. As the second hand on the clock jumped from 11 to 1, the game’s story may be set back to the very beginning.

Mortal Kombat 12 is set to launch in 2023, according to an earnings call at Warner Bros., so we won’t have to wait too long until the game comes out. With the series already 30 years old, now would be as good of a time as any for something as major as a timeline reset, and that seems to be what’s in store for players later this year.
