"Though the upcoming Mortal Kombat (9) is still weeks away, it's shaping up to be the most ambitious fighting game of the year. Finally returning to the 2D realm in terms of gameplay, NetherRealm Studios may be creating the perfect Mortal Kombat entry. After the absence of extreme violence in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, I'm beginning to understand why blood and gore can be so integral to a game series."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

There are so many smart, talented people there - look for more great things to emerge over the next several years. I love the little touches that people left around the studio like this little Toasty homage on the bathroom mirror.
I wouldn’t have lasted 37 years in the industry if fans weren’t out there playing the games we made. Thanks to all of you for supporting what we’ve done.
Live long and…
Toasty!"
Dan Fordens last good soundtrack was Mortal Kombat 4. A few good tracks here and there after that in MKDA-MK Armageddon but after that ..the Music in MK games and especially in the injustice games became boring background noise.
A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced
Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:
New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.
The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.
Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.
If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.
The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.
It also says a Visual History on the image.
On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.
I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!
I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂
I doubt it. I think expectations are spectacularly low since the last few installments. It'd have to be magnificently bad for gamers to be disappointed. We'll probably just get what we expect.
Not from what I've seen it won't. Looks fantastic.
From the demo I played and the disappointment of MK vs DC with fans I doubt it. This is the MK fans have been wanting !
This is "THE" Mortal Kombat. I just know, Its gonna be totally awesome !
From what Ive played and seen so far, guys just take my money and give me MK9 !
Doubt it but someone seems to enjoy it.
