‘Mortal Kombat 12’ Coming Later This Year!
We sadly didn’t get a new Mortal Kombat entry last year on the series’ anniversary, but that all changes this year. Warner Bros. Discovery let the news slip during their earnings call yesterday that Mortal Kombat 12 will be coming in 2023.
Picked up by Twitter user Wario64, the clip from the earnings call had Andrew Slabin, Warner Bros. Discovery’s executive vice president of global investor strategy, announcing the new entry in passing. “And there’s lots more to come, including the highly-anticipated Mortal Kombat 12 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, games also set for release this year with ambitious launch projections,” Slabin stated.
This is the first real news about Mortal Kombat 12 since Johnny Cage’s voice actor, Andrew Bowen, alluded to the game’s development last year. And really, it’s a no brainer for WB and developer NetherRealm, since Mortal Kombat 11 has sold in excess of 12 million units since it launched back in 2019.
And yeah, it’s a year late for the series’ anniversary, but seeing as the superior Mortal Kombat II will be hitting the big 3-0 this April, it’s still very much worth it for a new game. Heck, maybe we’ll even finally get that Mortal Kombat Trilogy remake?
MK12 won’t be the only big name in fighting games this year, as it’ll have to contend with Capcom’s Street Fighter 6, which arrives on June 2.

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
