A new leak regarding end to MK11 this past July, following two-plus years of post-launch on the project. Scant details were offered, though a post from Mortal Kombat's social media pages noted the studio had shifted focus to something new. While fans, and NetherRealm's production history, thus far, suggested Injustice 3 would officially enter development, rumors claim the Chicago-based group is actually hard at work on Mortal Kombat 12.
In August, VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb mentioned the likelihood of the next Mortal Kombat installment arriving ahead of Injustice 3, given MK11's incredible success and uncertainty about the future of Warner Bros.' gaming division. Not too long thereafter, Warner Media job listings possibly hinting at MK12 were posted online, providing further credence to the ongoing rumors and speculation. But new leaks, should they prove accurate, indicate the next entry in the long-running series may not amount to what MK faithful hope to see.

While Twitter judge_arts correctly notes the above information corresponds with previous rumors, said rumors also stem from a dubious source - a Reddit thread wherein someone outs their signficant other's work-related details as revenge for infidelity. Needless to say, such information should not be taken at face value.
Mortal Kombat 11 hit store shelves in early 2019 and now counts among the best-selling entries in the series at over 12 million copies sold worldwide. NetherRealm's for the title consisted of several post-launch updates, including two Kombat Packs that invited the likes of Terminator, RoboCop, Spawn, and The Joker into the arena.
Mortal Kombat 12 has yet to receive a formal announcement from NetherRealm Studios and WBIE.
