Following a tease from Boon on Twitter, which said: "Does anyone know what time it is?" with the hashtag #MortalKombat, reliable industry data miner billbil_kun looks to have found a store listing for the upcoming game. While a release date hasn't been revealed, billbil-kun says an announcement for Mortal Kombat "should be close," and that it'll be heading to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Switch.

Three different editions of the game have reportedly been found: a Standard Edition priced at $69.99 on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 and $59.99 on Switch, a Premium Edition with a price tag of $109.99, and a physical Kollector's Edition valued at $249.99, which will apparently only be available for the Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
