While job listings and an array of uncorroborated leaks hint that developer NetherRealm Studios has its hands full with Mortal Kombat’s next chapter, details about the team’s new project remain under lock and key.
Now yet another clue has begun making the rounds, stirring up hopes of MK’s imminent return.

The music in question is a six-second snippet from Mortal Kombat 2’s original soundtrack. Voice over from the OST is heard in Bowen’s video, as well: “Every deadly technique. It’s savage combat.”
