Mortal Kombat! B’du, b’du, b’du, b’du, du du du- FOIGHT!

Mortal Kontext: Okay, so I imagine even most of the boomer-shooter crowd know the main gist of things. The warriors of Earthrealm have to defeat the big bad warriors of Outworld lead by Shang Tsung and Shao Cartilage in a tournament, otherwise it’ll cause The End Of The World! Cut to last 3 recent Mortal Kombat games where the bad guys had the bright idea of exploiting a loophole in the divinely-mandated Geneva Conventions and fights being more story-driven outside of the standard tournament layout, so now that leaves us questioning what kind of story Mortal Kombat 12 will tell next.

And those who read my 5 Brilliant Gaming Stories may remember me touching on Jade and Kotal Cartilage’s relationship as being oddly nuanced for a game about increasingly absurd methods of disembowelment and ultraviolence to a degree that would make the Marquis De Sade blush… Well, turns out Jade was always a girlboss feminist since the early days of the series if this handy-dandy clip is anything to go by! +5 Woke Points to you NetherRealm!

Tangent Time: Speaking of De Sade, I’ve read excerpts of his work in The Curious History of Sex by Kate Lister… My reading De Sade’s voice as a violently horny Kenneth Williams impression is hilariously disgusting!

Where Could The Story Go? Based on Mortal Kombat 11’s ending (psst! You can get it with a Scorpion movie bundle right hyaa), things seemed relatively open-ended with the exception of that general multiversal timetravel shenanigans. MK11 largely saw handfuls of old-school characters being brought to the “current” timeline, so another logical step would be pulling an Endgame-level reversal of all the older “karacters” having to go back to the past like Samurai Jack! Or maybe a Kill Bill-meets Back To The Future riff depending how things shake out. Alternatively, some theorised the next game will be a prequel or soft-reboot retelling of the first game.

What About The Fight Fighters! While the exact roster hasn’t been released yet, the game is said to feature some 50 ‘Kombatants’, which is a relief to me considering how tiny MK X was. Personally, I’d like to see a Mortal Kombat Ultimate set-up featuring all the main casts from every game!

An Unlikely Unhinged Ask: Mr Boon? Johnny T? Bryke? Incredibly unlikely, but on the 0.01% chance this makes it’s way to you… Avatar Legend of Aang/Korra ‘Kombatants’. Would it work out!? Could it work out? I know it’s technically “a kids show”, but if PUBG can crossover with Baby Shark, maybe one day we’ll see Toph pulling a Melon Lord-inspired Friendship, or Katara chastising Skarlet for her own use of blood bending! Think of the possibilities.

Microsoft has added ten new games to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service for PC and Xbox, including two brand new titles that were released on day one.

Normally, Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass membership programme adds new titles throughout the course of the month rather than all at once. They have made an exception for December 16th however. Because the holidays are approaching, Microsoft chose to combine all of the new Xbox Game Pass games for the second half of December into a single day, giving subscribers access to ten new games, including two day one releases.

Titles Coming to Xbox Game Pass December 16th

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, a Metroidvania game, and The Gunk, a third-person action-adventure/platformer game in which players struggle to clear an alien planet of a hazardous chemical, are the new Xbox Game Pass games for December 16, 2021. Both games are currently accessible to Xbox Game Pass users, with The Gunk featuring a native Xbox Series X version.

Alongside these Day One releases, there are 8 other titles that are also available for free from December 16th. These include a variety of family friendly games such as Ben 10: Power Trip, Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay (with co-op support), Race With Ryan, and Transformers: Battlegrounds. Then there’s the not so family friendly, but probably biggest title in this list – Mortal Kombat 11.

Mortal Kombat 11 | Xbox

Heres the full list of Game pass titles available from December 16th:

December 16th will be the last day of this year until January 2022. Microsoft has confirmed that Weird West, The Anacrusis, and Windjammers 2 will be available on Game Pass next month. More titles are yet to be revealed and will be added throughout January 2022 as well.

Beloved actor Keanu Reeves has addressed a question that Mortal Kombat fans have been clamoring to know the answer on

In an interview with Esquire to promote The Matrix 4, the “breathtaking” actor was asked about whether Neo or John Wick would appear in a Mortal Kombat game, if it were up to him.

“If it was up to me? No,” says Reeves, though rather than going straight for the Fatality he then offers Friendship. “Mortal Kombat is awesome in so many ways, but I think… um you know, Neo, John Wick, yeah man they’re doing their own thing. Mortal Kombat’s doing their own thing.”

It’s probably worth saying that the rights to the Neo character rest with Warner Bros., which publish Mortal Kombat, so this crossover remains a genuine possibility. The John Wick franchise is controlled by Lionsgate.

Reeves’ comment puts paid to the hopes of Mortal Kombat fans who wanted to play as The One. This was mainly folk wanting those characters in particular and series co-creator Ed Boon occasionally teasing the possibilities.

Rambo, Terminator T-800 and Robocop: Guest Characters from the series’ recent entry, Mortal Kombat 11.
Guest characters are no novelty to the Mortal Kombat franchise. Mortal Kombat 9 saw the inclusion of Kratos from the iconic PlayStation series God of War, and Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Mortal Kombat X provided fans with multiple horror games: Alien from Alien (1979), Predator from Predator (1980), and Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). Mortal Kombat 11 saw DC comics characters Joker and Spawn get added to the roster, with the inclusion of Rambo, Terminator T-800 and Robocop. In addition, the stars of the film Mortal Kombat (1995) had lended their voices and likeness to the characters Raiden, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage and Shang Tsung.

Boon, NetherRealm’s current creative director, has in the past has talked about adding Neo and John Wick to the series. He also said at one point that Neo was suggested for Mortal Kombat 9, but they were unsure of the fit: “I remember [Warner Bros.] brought up Neo. So there were a whole bunch of ones that for business reasons or that creatively we didn’t think they’d fit,” Boon told Game Informer. Whatever the fans think, Boon is probably right: certain characters can fit in amongst the blood and viscera of Mortal Kombat, but seeing Neo rip someone’s spine out just doesn’t quite fit that character’s vibe.

Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077.

Reeves can be found elsewhere in the video game universe, the most notable recent example being his turn as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. There’s the official and very decent John Wick Hex, and a big handful of Matrix games: the beat-em-up Path of Neo, which saw you go through a re-working of the movie storyline before fighting a city-sized Agent Smith.
