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.

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…

With the increasing popularity of television series based on DC Comics the release of 2013’s Injustice: Gods Among Us proved a smart move by NetherRealm Studios.

Three years later, NetherRealm Studios are doing it all again with the unveiling of a sequel titled Injustice 2. Subtitled “Every Battle Defines You,” Injustice 2 introduces new mechanics that will increase the unpredictability and uniqueness of each and every matchup.
