Alright folks, E3 is right around the corner, and it’s more than obvious that the internet is being showered with rumors of dubious validity. But, for better or worse, here they are, if nothing else then for the amusement of it. A 10 minute demo reel spawned a gigantic fan reaction that shocked Mortal Kombat Legacy into being, so perhaps even a rumor that’s outrageous enough can affect the future. That being said, brace yourself, because some of these are gigantic, prepare that salt.

There you have it folks. The two posts have one month in-between them, so it’s entirely possible (and most likely) that they’re both fake and that the latter one simply saw the former, and expanded upon that. But, it’s nice to dream, and we’ll know in 2 days anyway. Let the discussion commence!
