With three of the Kombat Pack’s six kombatants now available, fans have started to look beyond Spawn’s distant March 2020 release date. Sales numbers have proven that there is still plenty of life left in Mortal Kombat 11, which has officially become 2019’s best-selling fighting game in the U.S. up to this point. While some would argue that Mileena fans have been the loudest, there are still many players out there wanting to see their favourite kombatant shown some love, including Fujin, Reiko and Havik. Mortal Kombat X had two seasons of DLC, and we’re convinced that Mortal Kombat 11…

The Terminator (T-800) is now playable for those who purchased Mortal Kombat 11’s Kombat Pack. To celebrate the milestone, NetherRealm Studios have released a render and artwork via the game’s official Twitter page. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger is not voicing the character, we strongly believe that the studio could not have done a better job in their depiction of the Governator. General availability will begin next week for those who do not own the Kombat Pack. Included as part of the update are a number of skins for Johnny Cage, Sonya and Kano, as well as a “Cassie Quinn” skin to…

As fans of the highly successful Terminator franchise prepare for the release of Terminator: Dark Fate later this month, NetherRealm Studios have unveiled the highly anticipated trailer showing the T-800 in action in Mortal Kombat 11. Concealing his signature shotgun in a box of Johnny Cage action figures (a throwback to the iconic mall scene in 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day), a visibly aged Arnold enters battle donning his Dark Fate attire. An impressionist is voicing the T-800 as expected, although fans remain divided on the voiceover’s overall quality. Featuring the likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Terminator T-800 is the ultimate…

Interactive Entertainment. A tweet by series co-creator Ed Boon following the Kombat Pack trailer’s release indicated to many that the studio had “gotten” Arnold, but to what degree remains to be seen. As expected, the news has continued to…

After months of pokes, prods, teases and trolls, the full roster for what we expect will be the first of two Kombat Packs has been revealed. Following an earlier leak, NetherRealm Studios posted the trailer fans had been waiting for, albeit short of many surprises. While many had assumed that protagonist Ash Williams from The Evil Dead was all but confirmed, it seems that his position may have possibly been taken by DC Comics’ The Joker, an inclusion that has proven to be controversial if early reactions are anything to go by. From the official press release: The Terminator T-800 from “Terminator: Dark…
