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…

There’s no denying that Black Dragon mercenary Kabal is a complete and utter badass in 2021’s Mortal Kombat movie reboot. Although his character was voiced by Damon Herriman in the film, Kabal’s fast moving physical portrayal was handled by New Zealand born stunt actor Daniel Nelson. Aside from Mortal Kombat, Daniel has been involved with a number of big budget productions, including Godzilla vs. Kong, Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge and the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. Taking a break from his post-release duties, Daniel sat down with Kamidogu to answer a bunch of questions related to the film…
Take a trip down memory lane back to 1995 and you’d be hard pressed to forget the success that was the original Mortal Kombat movie. While video game movies largely receive negative reviews, Mortal Kombat became an instant classic, ageing like fine wine with its strong cast and unforgettable one-liners. Conversely 1997’s sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was likened by both fans and critics as a dumpster fire, leaving many to believe that movies based on the franchise were done and dusted. Fast forward, however, and the future looks bright with the release of 2021’s Mortal Kombat reboot a little over…
As anticipation for the first Mortal Kombat feature film in 24 years continues to grow, Warner Bros. have released a behind-the-scenes featurette to help appease fans’ appetites. Director Simon McQuoid speaks of his desire to respect both the material and fans of the franchise, and hopes that 2021’s reboot of Mortal Kombat elevates it to an all new cinematic height. The featurette also shows off a number of already seen characters, including a better look at Kabal and Reiko in the flesh. Intertwined between masses of new footage are many of the key actors giving their take on the film.…

After breaking viewership records with its blood-soaked trailer, the soon-to-be-released Mortal Kombat movie reboot has fans bouncing their legs with excitement. While it remains to see how well the movie will be received overall a number of outlets and content creators recently received a treat in the form of a 13-minute viewing. Let’s just say that it didn’t disappoint. With the movie’s release in cinemas and on HBO Max in North America drawing ever closer, one YouTube channel by the name of Jekester has re-created the entire Mortal Kombat trailer using LEGO.

The final curtain has fallen as NetherRealm Studios announce that they are moving on from Mortal Kombat 11 after supporting the title for more than two years. First announced in 2018 at The Game Awards by series co-creator Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat 11 was released in 2019 and has proven to be one of the studio’s most refined and supported titles. Shipping with a base roster of 25 kombatants, a further 12 were later added across a number of releases (Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, Sindel, The Joker, Spawn, The Terminator, Fujin, RoboCop, Sheeva, Rambo, Rain and Mileena). Despite the challenges imposed…
