Mortal Kombat 12 could be making a blood-soaked appearance at the rumoured May 2023 PlayStation Showcase.

It's rumour-after-rumour stating that we might finally have to prepare our minds for the Mortal Kombat 12 trophies, with an appearance at the alleged PlayStation Showcase happening in May 2023 apparently set to reveal the violent fighting game. If the fates all align and this all comes to fruition, then we will have a new contender for our best fighting games list.

Rumoured PlayStation Showcase may reveal Mortal Kombat 12

With multiple sources overlapping with similar information — and at times the same information — it looks possible that Mortal Kombat 12 may be revealed soon. Jeff Grubb kicks us off on his Twitch channel by stating that we should expect a PlayStation Showcase in May 2023, or more specifically, we should expect a PlayStation Showcase before Summer Games Fest commences. Grubb, doesn't mention any potential game reveals, however.

Nick Shpeshal, the co-host of the XboxEra Podcast, stated that he has heard that Mortal Kombat 12 will be announced at the alleged upcoming PlayStation Showcase event. Shpeshal's co-host Rand al Thor also jumped on this, further hyping up what Shpeshal said and adding that he believes Sony will have marketing rights for Mortal Kombat 12 as well.

Jez Corden has also hopped on this rumour mill and hinted at a Mortal Kombat 12 announcement. Cordon responded to a tweet from Maximilian Dood — a YouTuber and fighting game enthusiast — who had tweeted that they hoped that MK12 would have the same speedy decision-making as MK9. Cordon cheekily replied by saying: "I think you'll find out more next month."

The last piece of information that wraps all of this together with a pretty little bow is that the official Mortal Kombat website has recently seen an update and overhaul, hinting that it could be gearing up for a big announcement. Though, as its stands as of right now, this is all speculation and we will need to wait and see if any of this actually materialises before our eyes.
