With Mortal Kombat 12 Announced, Ed Boon Resumes His Usual Trolling

Usually games get announced with a fair bit of fanfare and ceremony – however in the case of Mortal Kombat 12, it was casually mentioned on a business call.

One would of course expect that the daddy of the franchise, Ed Boon, may step in and give the reveal a little more spice.

One would of course be wrong.

So who has heard the news about INJUSTICE 3 ?

Considering the deep level of commitment that Ed boy has for his baby, you can only imagine that he is slightly bummed that it’s existence was confirmed in such a kasual manner. We’ve had some grand reveals in the past, so now I am assuming he will spend some time thinking about he can make the formal reveal as exciting as possible.

This of course didn’t stop the fanbase from enjoying the whole situation – likely to distract themselves from the lack of new information from Boon:

For the patient among us, we now need to a weather a storm of fake leaks and hoaxes. The content factories have already spun up, and a deluge of clickbaity headlines have flooded forth claiming they have special insider information about Mortal Kombat 12.

Personally, I’ll be checking the Twitter of Ed Boon – if I am not getting real information, I might as well be entertained while I wait.
