New ‘Mortal Kombat’ 30 Years Video Hinting at New Entry? [Watch]
NetherRealm is stil playing coy when it comes to the next entry for Mortal Kombat. And while we don’t have any news as of yet regarding the twelfth entry in the series, a new video appears to hint at what’s to come.
Yesterday, the Mortal Kombat Twitter account posted a video which featured several members of the development team thanking players for supporting the series for 30 years. And in typical Ed Boon fashion, he ended the video by saying that the team are “not quite done yet”. From there, the video cuts to a sequence showing sand falling in an hourglass. The camera zooms in on a single grain of sand, which explodes in something resembling The Big Bang.
Adding to the significance of the sequence is the main antagonist of Mortal Kombat 11 and Keeper of Time, Kronika, used an Hourglass that had the potential to rewind time (and potentially rewrite history). The Hourglass was further expanded upon in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.
It’s obviously not clear at this point what Boon’s plans are for the story, and whether we’d be getting a “retelling” a la 2011’s Mortal Kombat that reset the current timeline, or a continuation of MK11‘s story. But, it’s fun to speculate.
What we do know is that Mortal Kombat 12 is coming later this year, thanks to a leaked investor’s call a few months ago. And given that Mortal Kombat II‘s anniversary hits later this year (November, to be exact), it’d be a perfect way to celebrate with a new entry.
Nothing but appreciation for our fans over the past 30 Years. We're just getting started… pic.twitter.com/i8LzbGfISf

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
