Ed Boon, the co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series, has lowered fans expectations for EVO 2022 by stating that Mortal Kombat won’t be appearing at the event.
In a reply to an IGN article, which stated that EVO 2022 would feature announcements from the developers of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and Guilty Gear, Ed Boon said “….except Mortal Kombat.
PlayStation does state that the EVO 2022 Event will feature Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate, but only in terms of “intense showdowns”.
The tweet has since been deleted, further adding to the speculation that the voice recordings were likely for Mortal Kombat 12.
