It’s been three years since gamers were able to take a crack at the epic fighting style of a Mortal Kombat game. Now it looks like the classic franchise might be returning—if hints dropped over the last week are any indication.
The trail began on Reddit Wednesday when a user shared a photo of what looks like a possible promotional poster for what could be Mortal Kombat 10. It shows the bones of a spine with the Mortal Kombat logo on the bottom above the words “Who’s Next?”

Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, has also been dropping hints of a possible new installment on Twitter. His tweets seem to to be a countdown that ends on June 2 and he changed his profile picture to the recognizable logo.

Whether it’s a new Mortal Kombat game or new Mortal Kombat Vs. game, the creators have certainly figured out the trick to building buzz on social media.
