Jason Voorhees was the first additional fighter announced for Mortal Kombat X The slasher favorite will certainly feel right at home in the gory world NetherRealm have populated. According to a Kombat Kast yesterday run by the developer, he will be making his way into the game in on May 5th On top of that, the dev[...]

Mortal Kombat is somewhat of a gaming institution While maybe not quite as iconic as Super Mario or Tetris, the series has a public cache to people who aren't even interested in video games. And lets not kid ourselves This is due to the spectacular amount of violence The franchise has made its name, at least[...]

In some ways, Mortal Kombat X feels like a very old school (sKool) game Obviously the graphical fidelity has gone way up, but baring that, the core of Mortal Kombat has stayed more or less constant since 1992. That is why this neat throwback DLC has supposedly been found on Reddit (via Destructoid) should fit right[...]

Arkham Assylum developer Rocksteady sent over a beautiful cake featuring the severed heads of Sub Zero and Scorpion in celebration of the launch of Mortal Kombat X. Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon tweeted out an image of the cake and then a pretty neat way of cutting it. We struggled w/ eating or (somehow) preserving the Amazing[...]

Mortal Kombat X has been one of the most anticipated games coming out this year Full stop The frenzy over the game has been overwhelming for everyone, and now it is out, people are certainly having fun discombobulating opponents all over the shop. That's why it shouldn't be surprising to hear that it's been the largest[...]

I've been working my way through Mortal Kombat X and one thing I find weird about the story mode, besides the cutscene to gameplay ratio, is that there are characters you fight who are not playable in the game These include Baraka, Rain and Sindel These characters have near full movesets, but can't be accessed[...]

This is silly, but bare with me while I get to the reasons why. Warner Brothers and NetherRealm Studios have a rather odd micro-transaction currency in Mortal Kombat X As the game launched today, several outlets like Polygon noticed that the game had Easy Fatalities purchasable in the PlayStation store You can pick up five for[...]

I've spent a little time getting to grips with Mortal Kombat X this morning There is a pace to the game that's a lot of fun, meaning matches are over quickly, but still feel substantial in their own way. Of course, the blood bath that occurs after said match is one of the real selling points[...]

The main game isn't out until next Tuesday, but if you really have a hankering for blood and gore right now, you could try out Mortal Kombat X on mobile. The app is out today on iOS, meaning you can go out and satiate your bloodlust right now while on the move The game plays a[...]

When I think of Mortal Kombat, a selfie is probably one of the last things to enter my mind. That is why I'm pleasantly surprised by this Cassie Cage's Fatality The game has supposedly gotten into the hands of a few people early so bits and pieces are turning up online This upload comes from Arafat Zahan (Via[...]

Mortal Kombat X is just over a week away, which almost feels like a bad thing This marketing campaign has been so utterly relentless that I'm worried half of my source of news is about to dry up. I joke of course, but only a little The sheer amount of content that has been released before[...]

Yesterday, Goro made his onscreen debut in Mortal Kombat X The trailer showed him ripping people in half and punch heads into torsos It was pretty brutal truth be told. We now have an even better look at the character now thanks to a 'Goro Lives' stream last night where NetherRealm Studios showed off the character[...]

Goro is one of the most anticipated characters coming to Mortal Kombat X That's why it's a shame that he's hidden behind a pre-order wall, but hey, that's how things are in this industry. Up until now though, we haven't been given a very good look at the half-man, half-dragon In last night Kombat Kast that changed,[...]

The speculation over the Mortal Kombat X roster has been running for months now Fans have been curiously watching out for their favorite fighters as reveal after reveal hit the web. That speculation is now over though In the latest Kombat Kast, a  character select screen was shown showing the full roster, which had been blacked[...]

The Mortal Kombat X story is following a lot of characters Every time a new trailer comes out that contains narrative content, it looks like we are focused on new characters and new stories That makes me wonder how long the campaign is and how crowded it's going to be. You can get a glimpse of[...]

We've seen so much of Mortal Kombat X already, that it kind of makes the mind boggle I don't remember a AAA game having such an aggressive and persistent marketing campaign, using everything from adverts, traditional media, YouTubers and Twitch to get the word out about the game. There is still one element of that I[...]

Violence goes hand in hand with the Mortal Kombat Some might even argue if it weren't for the über-gore, the series may not be around today The franchise utlizises it with such gusto though, it's one of the things that makes it 'special', for good or ill. That is why it's always interesting to see Ed[...]

Mortal Kombat X really is creeping up on us The exhaustive marketing push for the game has made sure that it's never far from anyone's mind Soon enough, all that will be over and we will be disemboweling fighters all for good sport. To prime you, here is the first 30 minutes of the game Polygon[...]

Remember that live action Mortal Kombat trailer I ran the other day? It really tapped into a 14 year old psyche hiding in my mind by being cut to Chop Suey by System of a Down. I can't think of a much better song to cut Mortal Kombat too, well…unless we are talking about THAT song. Yes,[...]

You're playing Mortal Kombat with a friend, you beat them and the screen goes dark It's Fatality time! You want it to happen, even your friend wants it to happen You press a series of arrows as fast as you can and then hit 'X' Instead of ripping off the head of your opponent and[...]

Mortal Kombat is just over two weeks away, so the fighting game community is obviously pretty excited The franchise has seen a pretty prolific rebirth over the last two games, and the release could well surprise people with how well it does. Excited enough to brawl in the streets though? This new live action trailer for[...]

Mortal Kombat X is just over two weeks away That will now doubt make quite a few of you pretty excited The game is shaping up to be one of the bloodiest and gruesome games in recent memory, but that's largely the point.

This announcement came via this trailer from NetherRealms. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHcPIBcxFpY[/youtube] Oh, and Carl Weathers will also be in the game[...]

A few weeks ago, we heard a rumour that the Predator might turn up in the upcoming Mortal Kombat X Today, we've gotten a pretty clear piece of evidence that that may well be true. As caught by VG247, a listing on the the Xbox Store page made reference of the Predator in description for the Premium Edition[...]

We all expect the Fatalities in Mortal Kombat X to be pretty gruesome Thier whole point is to add a horrific blood filled cherry on top of every fight. NetherRealms are doing pretty good job of out doing themselves thus far too The Fatalities they've shown so far are so graphic that it swings back to[...]

Last night, NetherRealms hosted a Mortal Kombat X livestream where they dropped a lot of Johnny Cage news. Among the reveals was this seven minute play through of the Cage's first story 'chapter' As someone who doesn't really think of the story when pondering  about Mortal Kombat, I'm glad to see the silly B-Movie action vibe coming[...]

Mortal Kombat always has a few guest fighters on hand to help in the blood letting and X is no different We heard rumours about Predator showing up to the fight, but today we've gotten our firmed confirmed guest. Jason Voorhees will be bringing his own brand of mayhem to the fighting game as part of[...]

Speaking in a video with Game Crate at GDC, NetherRealm Studios' senior producer Adam Urban said: You'll get to play as Johnny Cage, but we're also showing Cassie Cage,[...]
