In fact, it is the PlayStation port specifically that will be included with this kollection. While the digital version of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is expected in…

TOASTY! The man behind Mortal Kombat’s most iconic music tracks has announced his retirement from the team after more than three decades. Dan Forden served as one of the original four team members who created the original Mortal Kombat in 1992 alongside Ed Boon, John Tobias and John Vogel. Its unique digitised graphics and gruesome finishing moves aside, a huge part of Mortal Kombat’s appeal came from its catchy soundtrack and crispy sound effects. Game after game he continued to perfect his craft, and although others eventually joined the sound development team his influence remained front and centre. Wednesday was…

Just under one month remains until T-1000 becomes a playable kombatant in Mortal Kombat 1. Voiced by Robert Patrick himself, T-1000 served as the main antagonist in the 1991 smash hit Terminator 2: Judgment Day. A highly advanced model crafted by Skynet out of liquid metal (or mimetic polyalloy as referenced in the film), T-1000 is able to shape shift and take on the likeness of other humans as a form of ultimate deception. Available beginning March 18, T-1000 rounds out Kombat Pack 2. Surprisingly (or perhaps not so much), Madam Bo is also set to join the roster as…
It’s been decades since a Mortal Kombat title had any form of seriously exciting secrets to uncover. Gone are the days when secrets would be shared exclusively via word of mouth and magazine articles. Enter Floyd, a pink ninja who has generated an enormous amount of buzz since his introduction in the January 2025 update patch for Mortal Kombat 1. Much in the same way that the purple ninja Rain was based on a famous Prince track, Floyd and his pink attire is an obvious nod to English rock band Pink Floyd. Similar to Chameleon, Floyd harnesses moves from all…
After an extensive period without any real news, NetherRealm Studios have today unleashed a gameplay trailer for Conan the Barbarian alongside three screenshots. Likely to be Mortal Kombat 1’s penultimate addition to its roster, Conan will become available during the early access period beginning January 21, with wide availability beginning January 28. The second Mortal Kombat title to feature Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness in succession, Conan the Barbarian is based on the 1982 film of the same name. Born on a battlefield, Conan was sold into slavery after his parents were slain and village destroyed by the malevolent warlord Thulsa Doom.…
The future of Mortal Kombat 1 could be in shambles, if rumours started by a prominent leaker are to be believed. Known leaker _FateUnknown_ recently made a post on Reddit claiming that NetherRealm Studios have pulled the plug on both Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion for Mortal Kombat 1. The decision is said to have been made following lacklustre sales of Khaos Reigns, the game’s first expansion released back on September 24. Flanked by controversy, the Khaos Reigns expansion saw the introduction of an expanded story focusing heavily around antagonist Titan Havik. Fans as a whole remain…
NetherRealm Studios continues to ride the retro train as it prepares to add further classic content to Mortal Kombat 1’s premium in-game store. Beginning this Tuesday, players will have the ability to purchase Mortal Kombat II inspired skins for Kitana, Mileena and Tanya. While pricing is currently unknown, classic skins have proven incredibly popular amongst the fan base, with more no doubt in the pipeline. What are your thoughts on these skins, considering Tanya didn’t exist in 1993? Be sure to keep it locked to Kamidogu as we continue our coverage of all things Mortal Kombat.
One of the most recognisable of horror icons is set to join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster next week in the form of Ghostface from the Scream franchise. Initially thought to coincide with Halloween, Ghostface will be made available for early access starting November 19. Armed with his signature knife and tape recorder, Ghostface presents as a wild and unpredictable kombatant set to both appease horror fans while unsettling others. We won’t spoil the contents of the trailer, but the conclusion of Ghostface’s Fatal Blow is particularly stomach twisting. His second Fatality is also shown off, and it’s a good…
