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. Proving that there is plenty of steam left in the 33-year-old franchise, Mortal Kombat returns to the silver screen this October with its second film following 2021’s reboot. The trailer has garnered so much attention that it has officially become the most viewed red-band trailer of all time, hitting 106.8 million views in only 24 hours. Seemingly centred around Johnny Cage, the trailer sees the failed action star thrust into a violent world he doesn’t fully understand. While the film shares some…

News broke earlier today that a live YouTube event would be held tomorrow beginning 8:05am PT following a number of cryptic tweets by series co-creator Ed Boon and producer Todd Garner.

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…

This day will not end well, as the Cleric of Chaos and Keeper of Time Havik sets out to spread anarchy and instability across the realms. Flanked by wildly colourful and unique backgrounds and costumes, the upcoming Khaos Reigns expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 will no doubt be a wild ride. Banding together to fend off the threat of pandemonium, fighters from both Earthrealm and Outworld must work swiftly and effectively as a team. Launching alongside the Khaos Reigns bundle will be three immediately playable kombatants, which include Noob Saibot and the newly re-imagined Sektor and Cyrax. Of course players…
With the release of the Khaos Reigns expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 only one week away, the identity of the kombatant who turns into a gorilla has finally been revealed. Lauded as one of the coolest transformations teased in the Khaos Reigns announcement trailer, many believed that Reptile was behind the finisher, having previously turned into a gorilla in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. While almost no one guessed Smoke, one eagle-eyed user on X noticed the scar on the gorilla’s eyelid bore a resemblance to that of Smoke, and the rest is history. Good catch! While some Animalities have been…
Go big or go home — an idiomatic phrase perfectly suited to both Cyrax’s Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay and snippets of the upcoming expansion to Story mode. Born into the Zaki, one of the Lin Kuei’s many sub-clans in Niger’s Aïr mountains, the now female Cyrax devotes her purpose to defending Earthrealm. Today’s trailer opens to her being actively pursued by Sektor in a forest, much akin to the Mortal Kombat 11 trailer in which Baraka was being chased by Mileena. It looks like the notion of automation is out the window, with both Cyrax and Sektor donning a retractable armoured…
With the release of the Khaos Reigns expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 a little over a month away, Ed Boon has today shared a short teaser of what to expect come Thursday. No longer male (Kameo aside), Cyrax can be seen squaring off against Sub-Zero who questions her allegiance to the Lin Kuei. Doing away with the cyber initiative notion of automation, Cyrax seems to maintain her human attributes while fighting in what can only be described as an Iron Man-like suit. Cyrax retains much of her signature moves, including explosive bombs, spinning blades and nets. It looks like her…
Year 2 for Mortal Kombat 1 has been officially announced via an hour long panel held at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Subtitled “Khaos Reigns,” the new expansion will feature additional story content and pick up in a world poisoned by chaos and anarchy thanks to Havik. Kombat Pack 2 has also been announced, and will include Noob Saibot, Sektor and Cyrax (both of whom are now female), as well as guest characters Ghostface, Conan and T-1000. As widely expected, Animalities also make a triumphant return to the series for the first time since their inception in 1995’s Mortal Kombat 3.…
Mortal Kombat 1 has been available for close to a year, releasing in September 2023 to generally positive reception, albeit a little mixed on many fronts. Somewhat of a departure to the tried and tested formula, the title introduced a radically different timeline which saw Rain become a mage of Outworld, Scorpion and Sub-Zero united as brothers in the Lin Kuei clan, Takeda portrayed as a cousin of Kenshi rather this his son, among others. Story aside, the game’s single player Invasions mode has hardly been a hit, the Kameo system leaves much to be desired and the decision to…
One of the most recognisable of horror icons is set to join the Mortal Kombat 1 roster next week in the form of Ghostface from the Scream franchise. Initially thought to coincide with Halloween, Ghostface will be made available for early access starting November 19. Armed with his signature knife and tape recorder, Ghostface presents as a wild and unpredictable kombatant set to both appease horror fans while unsettling others. We won’t spoil the contents of the trailer, but the conclusion of Ghostface’s Fatal Blow is particularly stomach twisting. His second Fatality is also shown off, and it’s a good…
