After the release of the 6th and final Mortal Kombat 11 DLC kombatant a lot of fans have been asking, whether we will see more support from Netherrealm Studios for the latest installment of the Mortal Kombat franchise. So far there were only some hint from Creative Director and series co-creator Ed Boon. That all changed today with the following announcement trailer:



Netherrealm Studios will reveal their plans for the game on May 6th, 2020 and we plan to be there for the reveal.

What we can take from the trailer is a possible continuation of the Mortal Kombat 11 story in some way, which sounds really exciting for us. What we need to mention here is the fact that original Shang Tsung motion picture actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa returns for the announcement trailer to reprise his role as the voice of Shang Tsung.



We can't of course confirm anything, as we simply don't know yet, but we sure hope to see his Shang Tsung in a continuation of the Mortal Kombat 11 story mode. Mortal Kombat's original sorcerer do need time in the spotlight as he has been kind of overshadowed by Quan Chi in the latest games.

What other things Netherrealm Studios has in store for us? This and much more we hope to find out tomorrow. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

I finished posting this myself only to see that you did before me, you beat me to the punch. Don't worry, no hard feelings

As for the news, I'm hyped as hell. I knew that fans were speculating and asking for it, but I never thought that NRS/WB would actually go for it, and yet they did. This is just awesome.

Also I don't think that "overshadowed" is the right term, yes Shang Tsung have been put to the side a bit, but he wasn't overshadowed by Quan Chi.

Anyway, once again, I'm hyped as hell.

So exciting

I want Ermac, Reptile and Rain back. Hope they announce more characters.

More of Tagawa is always a good thing too. Can't wait.

I was at the middle of my work too when I saw it, and I had to post it. What a coincidence

Yeah, I kind of have no idea where my head is these days. So I'm happy I could do at least that.

Also really excited for the announcement. Details can't come soon enough.
