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. 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…

The wait is finally over…the 3D era has arrived. And then some, so set off the fireworks! NetherRealm Studios’ appearance at San Diego Comic-Con could not have been more hype, as they revealed and showed off gameplay for seven classic Mortal Kombat characters. Right out of the gate the panel went live with the “Umgadi” trailer, which is in the same vein as the Lin Kuei trailer with a blend of gameplay and story. The trailer starts off in what appears to be Edenia as we used to know it with Liu Kang explaining that the Umgadi are a select…
Cage Match, the new title in the animated series Mortal Kombat Legends, now has an official cover art and release date! As you can see in the image above, the cover shows the film’s protagonist, Johnny Cage, in one of his famous superhero star poses!

Ashrah is a demon from the Netherrealm who hunts other demons with a manipulative sword known to her as Kriss. Kia is one of…
She has the appearance of a beautiful woman native to Earthrealm or Edenia. But she is not like them. She is a demon born in the pits of the Netherrealm. Inside her lives a beast of great power and wickedness. For many years, she has fought alongside the Brotherhood of Shadows, believing she was destined for a hateful existence. But there is hope. She has found a weapon; a promise of freedom. All she needs to do is to slay the most vicious souls in the Netherrealm. Then…ascension. Inner Conflict That was an introduction to the conflict that defines Ashrah…

Maintaining his “puzzle-like” appearance and large build, Geras manipulates time and uses brute strength to clobber his opponents into sand. Working alongside numerous Kameos…
