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…

Following the recent confirmation that Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be voicing his likeness as the Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11, fans started numerous petitions to ensure the authenticity of a second DLC character was not lost. Putting fans at ease, esteemed voiceover actor Keith David took to his Twitter account today to make the announcement that he will be reprising his role of Spawn.

Despite the Austrian Oak’s likeness as the Terminator confirmed in the Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack roster reveal trailer, sources indicate that his unique voice is not part of the deal.

As expected, the news has continued to…

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…
