After amassing more than $125 million at the worldwide box office, Mortal Kombat II is all set to arrive on digital and in physical form over the coming weeks. Unlike the first film which suffered at the hands of the pandemic, Mortal Kombat II enjoyed a successful international theatrical release in early May. The film, regarded by as a huge step up from the original, arrives on all popular digital streaming services on June 9. Following this comes a number of physical editions, with the 4K UHD Blu-ray, regular Blu-ray and DVD release slated for July 28. The physical editions…
After attending the star-studded premiere of Mortal Kombat II at the IMAX theatre in Sydney, Christopher and Toasty sit down together for the first time to review the film from start to finish.
With the theatrical release of Mortal Kombat II less than two weeks away, Christopher, Toasty and Kung Lew share their hopes, their fears and their final thoughts ahead of its premiere.
Toasty and McCage provide an in-depth analysis and review episodes 3 and 4 of 1998’s Mortal Kombat: Conquest television series, titled Cold Reality and Immortal Kombat respectively.
Toasty is joined by McCage and Kung Lew to breakdown the second trailer for Mortal Kombat II, which premieres worldwide on 8th May 2026.
The second trailer for 2026’s Mortal Kombat II movie has dropped, and is sure to whet more than a few appetites. Once again, protagonist Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) is front and centre, seemingly thrust into a world he doesn’t quite understand. While numerous fan theories currently exist, many believe the film’s first half will focus on the film star while the latter half will focus more on the rise of Kitana and Earthrealm’s warriors against the evil emperor Shao Kahn. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. What do you think of this latest trailer? Be sure to keep an…
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…

As largely expected, Digital Eclipse and Atari have used Evo 2025 to jointly announce the inclusion of Mortal Kombat Trilogy in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Released in 1996, Mortal Kombat Trilogy quickly became a fan favourite, bringing together an enormous roster of kombatants and arenas. Although it was also released for Nintendo 64, it was the PlayStation and PC ports that really resonated with fans as they contained crisper graphics and additional characters. 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…

The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived: Mortal Kombat II’s official red-band trailer is here.

Labelled as either a criminal mastermind or psychotic supervillain: there’s no denying that the Clown Prince of Crime turns heads. Following his controversial appearance in the first Kombat Pack trailer released last August, NetherRealm Studios have used the months since to transfigure The Joker into the sharp-faced twisted prankster we have all grown to love or hate. Richard Epcar reprises his voicing role, delivering his strongest performance to date. Joker’s hooked cane makes its return alongside a fresh arsenal of tricks, including jacks-in-the-box, giant boxing gloves, restrained and wheelchair bound hostages, a Batman plush toy, jerry cans and much more.…
An eagle-eyed follower of Ludi Lin has made a rather interesting discovery while watching a birthday vlog posted on the actor’s Instagram profile earlier today. The Chinese-Canadian actor (who has been cast as Liu Kang) can be seeing touring numerous trailers in the early hours of the morning, most notably passing by one seemingly shared by the actresses for both Mileena and Nitara. Once the discovery was shared on social media, writer Greg Russo took to Twitter to announce that Nitara has in fact been cast in 2021’s Mortal Kombat. Australian aerialist, stuntwoman, dancer and Pilates teacher Elissa Cadwell joins…

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…
