It didn't come as much of a surprise when it was revealed that Mortal Kombat 1 is skipping last gen.

Technology is supposed to improve with each new generation, though purists will often hold onto what came before. In music, we have moved from vinyl to tape to CD to MP3 to streaming, and while some cling to the magic crackle of vinyl, few today will tell you that CDs are the best way to listen to music. Film too has its different film stock and cameras, right up to our modern day 4K IMAX 3D.

Games Need To Stop Being So Secretive With Marketing

James Troughton — Fri, 12 May 2023 18:00:16 GMT

Mortal Kombat 12 was first announced in a Warner Bros. earnings call, but I highly doubt the executives knew they were leaking the next big fighting game.
