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.

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[...]

Here's something that'll tickle a lot of Mortal Kombat fans in the right ways It looks like Johnny Cage will be a playable fighter in the upcoming Mortal Kombat X. 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,[...]

Mortal Kombat has a surprisingly rich lore and an ever growing story What once were just cool ideas for fighters morphed into a narrative that fans of the series follow devoutly. Mortal Kombat X is going to be no different In fact, judging by this new trailer, the story in the upcoming game could be the[...]

The prospect of brutalities in Mortal Kombat X has been long talked about, but we've finally be treated to a look at the finishing moves The moves were confirmed during a NetherRealm livestream last night where they promised the finishers would bring the "humiliation factor". Unlike Fatalities which require a set sequence to be inputted before[...]

This is just a little clean up from the other day. On Monday, Mortal Kombat X executive producer Shaun Himmerick tweeted what was construed as the game not needing Xbox Live or PlayStaiton Plus to play online I expressed how skeptical I was of the tweet at the time, and it seems I was right to be. Himmerick took to[...]

I swear, by no choice of my own, I write about Mortal Kombat X more than twice as much as any other game I assume that's an indication that the game is going to be pretty big Or the marketing budget is huge Or that NetherRealm Studios don't tie up all their stuff as well[...]

Like a huge pinch of salt. According to Shaun Himmerick, the executive producer on Mortal Kombat X, the latest title in the franchise won't require Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus to play your friends online In a twitter exchange, Himmerick responded: @berserkerlbs ps plus is not needed for any feature of MKX. — lover of tacos (@lover_of_tacos) February[...]

Yesterday, we learnt that Mortal Kombat X might be putting out a Predator DLC in the summer, but it likely won't be the only one. In fact, we may have our next inkling into who to expect to join the ultra-violent game's roster Todd McFarlane has been speaking to GamerFitNation and has said that NetherRealms have[...]

  Let's file this one away under rumour. VideoGamer claim to have learnt about a July Predator DLC for Mortal Kombat X They haven't specified their source and have said that Warner Brothers have declined comment, so maybe err on the side of caution This feels like a match made in heaven though. Oh, and when I say Predator[...]

Mortal Kombat X is creeping ever forward as NetherRealm's gore-fest is only just over two months away The advertising campaign has been huge with two or three new stories popping up on my RSS feeds daily about the title. Today, the developer revealed a few new mechanics for the game that will act as the backbone[...]

They aren't fun. It turns out you put Mortal Kombat X in front of him though, he's louder than anyone else in the room I shared the full video of Marshawn Lynch playing Rob Gronkowski the game on Conan at the end of last week Well, Here is a little more for you and it's all[...]

NetherRelms sent them all an early copy of Mortal Kombat X to play. It's great watching. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNpkSyryQz4[/youtube] Their shocked faces are really what sells it These fatalities are particularly gruesome, especially for the uninitiated. It's good to see Lynch out and talking though He probably spoke more in this video than he has the entire Superbowl press coverage[...]

We already have 13 Mortal Kombat X characters confirmed, and that number is rising They're coming fast and furiously and I can't imagine it will be long until we have a full roster Hell, it is less than three months until the full game arrives. Furthering that cause, a 14th fighter has now made their own[...]

Maybe it is was my love for Jurassic Park, but Reptile was always my favorite Mortal Kombat character when I was younger The idea of a lizard-come-Sub Zero was always appealing to me, and to be fair, how could it not be? Lizard ninjas are hardly a bad thing. Well, the character is making his return in Mortal[...]
