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!

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.

The Game Awards were an absolute blast, right? We saw the announcement of some exciting upcoming games which we cant wait to get our hands on! Unfortunately, there was one game rumoured to make an appearance which didn’t get revealed- Mortal Kombat 12.

Fans of the fighting franchise felt dismantled come the end of the show, especially considering the game awards are usually where the series flexes its trailer muscles. However, this moment just never came, so what could’ve been the reason? Is the game just not ready yet? Has NetherRealm had a falling out with the Game Awards? Well it looks like we’ve finally got our answer.

Before we reveal it, here’s the full presentation for those of you who are yet to have seen it!

NetherRealm Creative Director Explains Mortal Kombat Absence

We had to take to the Twitterverse to find any sort of explanation and luckily we sort of found one. According to series co-creator and NetherRealm creative director Ed Boon, there are many more things that need to happen before the game can be announced.

“Really appreciate the enthusiasm for our next game and wish we were ready to announce. But we aren’t yet. Many more variables involved than we are allowed to disclose.” However, it must be noted that he’s not directly acknowledging Mortal Kombat 12 as the studio’s next game.

Well sorry for the anti-climatic answer to it all! It just simply looks like that the project isn’t in a good enough state for it to be showcased. I guess we’ll just have to be patient then! Furthermore, this is what else they had to say upon the matter:

“NRS is working on improving their “core technology for the Mortal Kombat franchise” based on these job ads, which would explain why they’re not ready to show us anything yet. i guess we should be patient, since it’ll look good enough to be worth the wait”.

Not only this, but fans were also disappointed not to have an Injustice 3 trailer at the Game Awards. Despite this, we’re thankful for all the trailers we did receive, as they’ve only just gone and got us so hyped for the new year.

Overall, time will eventually tell what NetherRealm has in store so stay tuned. Whilst we wait, Mortal Kombat 11 is available for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia. Make sure to pick up your copy of the game here!

Mortal Kombat X is receiving FREE DLC in the form of classic fatalities

Well, Warner Bros. and Netherrealm Studios have been rather generous recently with their free goodies, haven’t they?! There have been additions such as extra costumes like classic Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile and Ermac, and players are also receiving Kold War Scorpion, which was previously a Gamestop exclusive pre-order skin. There have also been a few new balance adjustments and moves, and we’re now getting four new fatalities which derived from Mortal Kombat 1.

Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage do what they did best, all the way back in 1992, by ripping off the spines and heads of their opponents and also burning them. One of the more notable ones is Sonya’s Kiss of Death move, which plays out exactly like it did back then, just with the graphics of today.

Take a look at the All Klassic Fatalities below. Do be warned that this may not be suitable for younger viewers.
