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…

Suspense continues to grow as Kombat fans look forward to not one but two character reveals and videos from NetherRealm Studios this week. Likely to take place during the studio’s Kombat Kast on January 29 at 3PM CST, the bombshell was dropped less than 24 hours ago via Ed Boon’s Twitter profile. While discussions and speculation continue to light up the Internet in anticipation, attention has shifted to a scripted GameStop promotional video that seems to confirm both Mileena and Shang Tsung as playable characters. Mortal Kombat X will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 when it launches on…
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Darren Shahlavi, well known by the community for his role as Kano in Mortal Kombat: Legacy, has passed away. News of the actor’s death has been scarce. No details have surfaced other than his passing this morning, and that his death was unexpected. This marks the second time that an actor who had played Kano has died long before his time, the former example being the death of Trevor Goddard in 2003. Darren was a well known martial artist, actor, and was frequently involved with stunt work as well. We at Kamidogu are deeply…
NetherRealm Studios have just released a new gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat X, showcasing the still expanding roster and announcing the return of Princess Kitana. This isn’t the first time a character that was killed off in Mortal Kombat (2011) has returned from the dead.

The above trailer also marks our first glimpse at Kung Lao in action, utilizing his signature hat in more unique ways than ever, and unloading a fury of rapid punches into his opponent. In addition, we also get what appears to be a…
DC Comics have released the debut issue of their highly anticipated weekly Mortal Kombat X comic series.

Finnish gaming magazine Pelaaja have published an article revealing that fan favourite Kung Lao is set to join the Mortal Kombat X roster. Perishing at the hands of Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn during the events of Mortal Kombat (2011), a visibly older Kung Lao rises from death to once again vanquish evil. According to the article his three variations include Tempest (which utilises spinning attacks and allows him to use his hat as a revolving shield), Buzz Saw (which sharpens the razored rim of his hat and allows for more hat control) and Hat Trick (which allows him to cast his hat to-and-fro to extend…
