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.

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…

Originally depicted as an American-Japanese warrior in the original Mortal Kombat, Kano was later retconned as a brutal and unforgiving Australian fighter with little regard for others. A member of the Black Dragon clan, his signature moves include a cannonball, throwing knives and a devastatingly savage eye laser. Oh, and who can forget his signature Heart Rip Fatality? But could Kano have really fathered a son as is depicted in his Mortal Kombat X ending? Mortal Kombat kommunity veteran tabmok99 delved into this subject in a recent video to gauge its plausibility. While the series is known for its wild and outlandish endings, there is…

Following the release of Mortal Kombat II in the mid-nineties, a multi-arc comic line was released by Malibu comics. While much of their storylines played out like an extension of the games’ stories, the writers were given freedoms to develop their own characters and tangents. In his latest video, tabmok99 takes an in-depth look at the series which featured many preemptions that came true in titles some years later. The comics also gave readers their first look at characters only previously mentioned by name, such as King Jerrod of Edenia.

Have you ever wondered what Mortal Kombat II would look like as a 3D title? YouTuber Bitplex has paid homage to his favourite title in the series by taking this question and making it a reality. Rather than creating high-quality renders of the game’s arenas and kombatants or using modern techniques such as motion capture (a la the cancelled Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection), Bitplex has modelled the game’s original sprites and textures onto 3D models.
Highly esteemed and longtime Mortal Kombat kommunity member tabmok99 recently posted a video to his YouTube channel detailing one of the greatest mysteries in the franchise: the elusive male ninja Chameleon. First appearing in Mortal Kombat Trilogy as a fusion of the game’s multiple palette-swapped ninjas, Chameleon later returned in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon as a fully-fledged kombatant. Despite having an ending, it didn’t do much to quell the shroud of mystery surrounding him… Justin is an asset to the kommunity and regularly posts many interesting in-depth videos covering a variety of Mortal Kombat topics.
