After amassing more than $125 million at the worldwide box office, Mortal Kombat II is all set to arrive on digital and in physical form over the coming weeks. Unlike the first film which suffered at the hands of the pandemic, Mortal Kombat II enjoyed a successful international theatrical release in early May. The film, regarded by as a huge step up from the original, arrives on all popular digital streaming services on June 9.

After attending the star-studded premiere of Mortal Kombat II at the IMAX theatre in Sydney, Christopher and Toasty sit down together for the first time to review the film from start to finish.
With the theatrical release of Mortal Kombat II less than two weeks away, Christopher, Toasty and Kung Lew share their hopes, their fears and their final thoughts ahead of its premiere.

The second trailer for 2026’s Mortal Kombat II movie has dropped, and is sure to whet more than a few appetites. Once again, protagonist Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) is front and centre, seemingly thrust into a world he doesn’t quite understand. While numerous fan theories currently exist, many believe the film’s first half will focus on the film star while the latter half will focus more on the rise of Kitana and Earthrealm’s warriors against the evil emperor Shao Kahn. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. What do you think of this latest trailer? Be sure to keep an…
TOASTY! The man behind Mortal Kombat’s most iconic music tracks has announced his retirement from the team after more than three decades. Dan Forden served as one of the original four team members who created the original Mortal Kombat in 1992 alongside Ed Boon, John Tobias and John Vogel. Its unique digitised graphics and gruesome finishing moves aside, a huge part of Mortal Kombat’s appeal came from its catchy soundtrack and crispy sound effects. Game after game he continued to perfect his craft, and although others eventually joined the sound development team his influence remained front and centre. Wednesday was…

As largely expected, Digital Eclipse and Atari have used Evo 2025 to jointly announce the inclusion of Mortal Kombat Trilogy in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Released in 1996, Mortal Kombat Trilogy quickly became a fan favourite, bringing together an enormous roster of kombatants and arenas. Although it was also released for Nintendo 64, it was the PlayStation and PC ports that really resonated with fans as they contained crisper graphics and additional characters. In fact, it is the PlayStation port specifically that will be included with this kollection. While the digital version of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is expected in…

Just under one month remains until T-1000 becomes a playable kombatant in Mortal Kombat 1. Voiced by Robert Patrick himself, T-1000 served as the main antagonist in the 1991 smash hit Terminator 2: Judgment Day. A highly advanced model crafted by Skynet out of liquid metal (or mimetic polyalloy as referenced in the film), T-1000 is able to shape shift and take on the likeness of other humans as a form of ultimate deception. Available beginning March 18, T-1000 rounds out Kombat Pack 2. Surprisingly (or perhaps not so much), Madam Bo is also set to join the roster as…
It’s been decades since a Mortal Kombat title had any form of seriously exciting secrets to uncover. Gone are the days when secrets would be shared exclusively via word of mouth and magazine articles. Enter Floyd, a pink ninja who has generated an enormous amount of buzz since his introduction in the January 2025 update patch for Mortal Kombat 1. Much in the same way that the purple ninja Rain was based on a famous Prince track, Floyd and his pink attire is an obvious nod to English rock band Pink Floyd. Similar to Chameleon, Floyd harnesses moves from all…

The second Mortal Kombat title to feature Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness in succession, Conan the Barbarian is based on the 1982 film of the same name.

The future of Mortal Kombat 1 could be in shambles, if rumours started by a prominent leaker are to be believed. Known leaker _FateUnknown_ recently made a post on Reddit claiming that NetherRealm Studios have pulled the plug on both Kombat Pack 3 and a second story expansion for Mortal Kombat 1. The decision is said to have been made following lacklustre sales of Khaos Reigns, the game’s first expansion released back on September 24. Flanked by controversy, the Khaos Reigns expansion saw the introduction of an expanded story focusing heavily around antagonist Titan Havik. Fans as a whole remain…
Excitement continues to build as the first trailer for the eagerly awaited second Mortal Kombat movie gets ready to drop. News broke earlier today that a live YouTube event would be held tomorrow beginning 8:05am PT following a number of cryptic tweets by series co-creator Ed Boon and producer Todd Garner. Early reports suggest that the trailer itself will debut at 9am PT. To help build hype for the main trailer, a teaser titled “Uncaged Fury” gives fans their first glimpse of Johnny Cage, who is portrayed by Karl Urban.
