Mortal Kombat 12 : WBD GIVES ED BOON A BIG PROMOTION, MK12 JUST GOT BETTER! MKU UNDER EDS CONTROL!

NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon has confirmed the obvious: his next game will be either Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3. While this doesn’t come as a surprise, it’s still nice to have an official confirmation amid reports that Injustice’s future is hanging in the balance following parent company Warner Media’s merger with Discovery. Rumors suggested that Warner Bros. was looking to offload NetherRealm.

Going by NetherRealm’s previous pattern, it’s Injustice 3 that should be seeing the light of day next but rumor has it that the studio has been forced to prioritize Mortal Kombat 12 as it’s a safer bet than Injustice in terms of commercial performance. However, these rumors remain unsubstantiated and NetherRealm remains tight-lipped about what it’s working on.

It remains to be seen if NetherRealm will release anything other than Mortal Kombat or Injustice in the near future.

Microsoft is holding a “Developer_Direct” event on January 25th. Together with Bethesda, Microsoft is getting ready to detail its plans for Xbox this year, which should include a closer look at some Xbox games expected soon and important Xbox Game Pass additions.

“Presented by the game creators themselves from studios including Arkane Austin, Mojang Studios, Turn 10 Studios, and ZeniMax Online Studios, the Developer_Direct will focus on big features, extended gameplay showcases, and the latest info for Xbox games launching in the next few months, including The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall,” says Microsoft in a blog post.

There will be “several minutes of gameplay” for Redfall, including single and multiplayer gameplay. Minecraft Legends will include “an insider’s look into the PvP multiplayer experience, and there will be gameplay and “exciting new details” for Forza Motorsport. The Elder Scrolls Online can expect an update on 2023’s major chapter update and a “major new feature coming in the game’s biggest update this year.”

Microsoft doesn’t mention Starfield, but the company does confirm a separate “standalone show is in the works” for Bethesda’s new IP. It’s not clear when that separate show will air, though. We’ve been waiting on Microsoft to provide an update on both Starfield and Redfall after Bethesda delayed these titles last year. We’re hoping this Developer_Direct event will feature a release date for Redfall.

Developer_Direct will also include closer looks at Forza Motorsport and Minecraft Legends, with both expected in the first half of 2023. The event will take place at 3PM ET / 12PM PT on January 25th and will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube. The Developer_Direct will last around 45 minutes, with an Elder Scrolls Online stream straight afterwards.
