4chan leaks are hit or miss. Sometimes they can predict stuff like the Nintendo Switch and other times its just full of stuff that never comes to pass. Which one this is will only be told with the test of time. As a QA Tester comes forth on 4chan and tells us Mortal Kombat XI Details Leaked.
New Mortal Kombat XI Details Leaked – Real or Fake? You Decide.
You can see that there is a lot of stuff here that can be left to the imagination. Considering how inconsequential death is in the Mortal Kombat universe, you can never really dismiss a lot of the story elements that the QA tester speaks of.
Could the rumor actually be true?
What is curious is how there is a 4-year gap between their games. With Injustice 1 released in 2013, Injustice 2 released in 2017. Mortal Kombat 9 Released in 2011 and Mortal Kombat X released in 2015, there is a 4 year gap between the games. Considering the cycle has seen Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) -> Injustice 1 (2013) -Mortal Kombat X (2015) -> Injustice 2 (2017) -> the next step would have to be a sequel to 2015’s Mortal Kombat X.
While we have yet to reach the 2-year gap between a Mortal Kombat and an Injustice game, this could mean that we see the sequel announced this year with a mid-2019 release date which is the best case scenario.
