I’m hoping that Mortal Kombat 12 leans back into the more fast-paced and aggressive play style that made Mortal Kombat X so well-loved by the casual and competitive scenes.
To say that I’ve sunk a considerable portion of my spare time into this franchise over the past 20 years would be a gross understatement.
That tradition continued for both Mortal Kombat X in 2015 and Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019, being eagerly entranced by the stories and the new characters that would come after the initial release. It marks the only time I downloaded a demo and went out of my way with my younger brother to champion the triumphant return to the classic 2D roots. Fast forward to Mortal Kombat (2011), and my love for the series was rediscovered. Some of my earliest gaming memories include countless rounds of Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Mortal Kombat 4 on PS1 before I went all-in on the series with the transition to 3D with Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and Mortal Kombat: Deception in the early 2000s. I’ve spent my entire life playing Mortal Kombat.
