Ed Boon has confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1 will be a re-imagining of the lore we have all known for years. One of the biggest questions surrounding the game is how, if at all, will the Kameo game mechanic factor into this new lore? There are some things that we can ascertain for sure. The Kameo fighter system is NetherRealm’s compromise on a few fronts. Those being tag team mechanics and as a way to include more characters for fan-service reasons without the need to fully program 16 MORE characters. None of this though ties directly into the story of…

As per a new report by That Hashtag Show, four new antagonists – Baraka, Shao Khan, Sindel, and Quan Chi – will be the new featured villains in the upcoming film. Furthermore, Kitana and King Jerrod are also expected to make an appearance. We here at Kamidogu have not been able to verify any of these tall tales, so grain of salt in hand let’s take a look at this. However, if the report…

Ed Boon has given us MUCH to consider for the impending announcement coming from NetherRealm Studios about their next proper console game. In a series of “Ask Me Anything” sessions on his twitter account he has coyly been dropping as many hints as he can without giving away the goose (sort-of -speak) too early. It can be difficult to parse through all the information, separating the actual nuggets of knowledge from the unrelenting masses who constantly ask “When is the next game?” In spite of Boon’s insistence that he can’t and won’t answer such questions. That is why I am…

John Tobias just dropped a Twitter thread on the history of the Mortal Kombat fragon symbol. Also included was a little naming history as well. Taking to Twitter, John Tobias, original art director, designer, and co-creator of Mortal Kombat, detailed the creation of the iconic dragon logo the series has used since its first iteration. In the second of nine posts in the Twitter thread we see how the original sketch was digitized for use in the game. In the early days of Mortal Kombat, music seemed to play a pretty big part in its creation. In his third tweet…

It is no secret to even kasual fans of Mortal Kombat that this year is the 30th anniversary of the notorious fighting game. There have been many teases about what NetherRealm could release, though nothing KONCRETE.

For those that didn’t know already, this is some really fun information about how the seventh character was originally set to be a man. After some research…

Ed Boon took to Twitter today to squash rumors of a Mortal Kombat 12 reveal at this year’s EVO tournament, saying “Its (sic) time for Street Fighter and other great fighting games to be in the sun!” The denial comes after rumors sprouted up around a news article from IGN saying that many popular developers, including Warner Bros., would have “big announcements” at this year’s tournament. While Mortal Kombat and other WB released games will be present during the event, which happens on August 5th through the 7th, it seems more likely that the announcement will be around MultiVersus rather…

Actor Casper Van Dien, who played Johnny Cage in the second season of the digital Mortal Kombat: Legacy series, released some behind-the-scenes pictures from the unreleased third season to his Instagram today, August 1. While this would have been the third digital season of content released, at the time there were conflicting reports as to exactly what this content would be. Some reports had this as a direct continuation of Kevin Tancharoen’s “Legacy” series, even after Tancharoen departed the project. Some images even made their way online, revealing the cover of the script saying “Mortal Kombat 3.” This is the…

Jeremy Slater is the new screenwriter for the second movie in the reboot movie series. That name might sound familiar as he also worked on the Disney+ Marvel series Moon Knight. In a recent interview with Discussing Film he acknowledged that the studio is aware of the issues the fans had with the first film, as well as the things we loved, and steering to correct and improve on the next film. Will they be able to make us forget about Cole Young? Probably not. BUT that is not to say we can’t forgive. So long as we actually get…
