'Mortal Kombat 1' Game Rumors: Homelander and Peacemaker

It’s rumored the twelfth game in the franchise will be “Mortal Kombat 1” and that Homelander from The Boys and Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad will be playable characters, with creator Ed Boon seemingly teasing a big announcement soon.

The rumor about the new game titled “Mortal Kombat 1” comes from Twitter user billbil-kun who claims the game will be for next-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch.

The Twitter user also claims the game will cost $69.99 for the PS5 and Xbox, and $59.99 for the Switch. It’s also said a premium edition will be made available at a cost of $109.99 and a special Kollector’s edition for the PS5 and Xbox for $249.99.

“Mortal Kombat 1” is said to be targeting a September release and that an “imminent” reveal will happen in the next couple of weeks.

It’s also said Homelander and Peacemaker may be in the game.

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon seemed to tease the “1” as part of the title of the game as he tweeted a clock that stopped at one.

Update: Ed Boon posted a new tweet that may shed doubt it’s actually an MK game.

“Ummm…. for the record. We never konfirmed our next game is a Mortal Kombat game,” Boon tweeted. Check out the tweets below.

Mortal Kombat 11 was released on April 23, 2019 so it’s been over four years since a new game has been released. The story of Mortal Kombat 11 followed the events of Mortal Kombat X, with the game’s plot involving a time-traveling story that sees various characters from different eras fighting and interacting with each other. The game also includes a new “Custom Character Variation System” that allows players to customize their fighters with various skins, gear, and abilities.
