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.

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…

Shortly after the reveal of Jason Voorhees and apparent reveal of Shinnok, NetherRealm Studios have hosted their fifth Kombat Kast today and more juicy details have been spilled regarding Mortal Kombat X’s Story Mode. The Kombat Kast proceeded to show off a few minutes of Story Mode gameplay from Chapter 1. Without spoiling too much, we can see that Mortal Kombat X’s Story Mode will contain Quick Time Events during some of the cinematic cutscenes. In addition, we get a glimpse of post-Cyborg Sub-Zero during what we could only assume to be his alliance with Shinnok, and his outfit seems to reflect that of his older…
The introduction of Cassie Cage early in the promotional cycle raised many eyebrows. Many saw her inclusion as the next-generation replacement for her parents, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, however the release of today’s “Meet the Cage Family” trailer seems to derail that theory. The video shows off an aged Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, now divorced, and seems to confirm them both as playable kombatants. Gameplay footage also shows previously unseen U.S. Special Forces agent Jax, as well as Mileena alongside a couple of new arenas. Also making an apperance in the trailer are Shinnok and Kenshi, who was…
Online retail giant Amazon have updated their Mortal Kombat X product listings to include ten previously unseen biographies from Mortal Kombat X.

But Kotal kept hidden from Shao Kahn a secret Osh-Tekk portal to Earthrealm. Kotal’s ‘magical’ appearances and demonstrations of great power in Earthrealm led its inhabitants to declare him a god, whom they called Buluc. After Shao…

Subtitled “Whips, Sais & A Little Surprise,” their sixth live stream was full of juicy Mortal Kombat X details including the first publicly broadcast gameplay footage of two new kombatants and an old favourite. A seemingly efficacious Mileena was up first, showcasing her new and varied abilities. Mileena’s variations include Ethereal (which allows her to teleport and disappear for a short amount of time), Ravenous (which gives her a few bite attacks and the ability to string together unique chain grabs) and Piercing, in which…
