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.

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…

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.
