Ed Boon Reveals 1 Mortal Kombat Guest Fighter That's 'Not Gonna Happen'

Mortal Kombat 1 has added plenty of content in the form of new DLC fighters, Kameo characters, post-launch content for the Invasions mode, and more since its release last year, but developer NetherRealm Studios still has plenty more stuff in the pipeline.

A few Mortal Kombat 1 fans have discovered a fun new Brutality that seems to have been secretly added to the game. Brutality kills in Mortal Kombat 1 are some of the most satisfying ways to finish a match, and this new addition offers an exciting update to the game's combat.

The Epic Games Store free games for the week of April 25 to May 2 are Industria and Lisa: The Definitive Edition. Epic Games Store users have new freebies to claim every week. Most of the time, Epic Games Store users are given plenty of advance notice when it comes to what free games they will be able to add to their digital libraries, but there are times when the launcher surprises users with an unexpected freebie.

A new rumor suggests that the next Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo fighter will be an alternate-timeline version of Scorpion, with Harumi Hasashi donning the iconic yellow ninja mask instead of her husband Hanzo. One of the biggest additions to come from Moral Kombat 1 is the Kameo system, which allows players to select a supporting character from a separate roster to assist in matches. Most of these secondary combatants are classic versions of existingcharacters from the original timeline, which Fire God Liu Kang rebooted at the end of Mortal Kombat 11.

Season 5 of Mortal Kombat 1 launches today, adding new content to the game’s Invasions mode.

NetherRealm’s latest DLC fighter for Mortal Kombat 1, Ermac, is now available in “early access.” Those who own the Kombat Pack can play him now, while others need to wait for his worldwide launch on April 23rd.

Remember Mortal Kombat 1’s fourth season of Invasions? Regardless, Season 5 or the Season of Storms, is live and features a more distinct antagonist. It’s Dark Raiden, a corrupted and decidedly more aggressive version of the Thunder God seeking to destroy threats to Earthrealm. Check out the trailer below.

Blizzard has pulled the curtain back on the full patch notes for Overwatch 2 Season 10, set to launch on Tuesday, April 16. Overwatch 2 Season 10 is a particularly exciting season for the hero shooter for a number of reasons. The headlining new addition in Overwatch 2 Season 10 is the long-awaited debut of brand-new Damage hero Venture.

Some merchandise suggests that Ermac was originally meant to be a part of Mortal Kombat 1’s base roster instead of a post-launch DLC character. Originally created as a red-colored palette swap of famed ninjas Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Ermac has been a part of the Mortal Kombat mythos since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and it won’t be long before Mortal Kombat 1 players will be able to take control of this powerful undead warrior. Ermac is set to be introduced as the latest MK 1 DLC character on April 16 for Early Access players and April 23 for everyone else.

A new piece of merchandise for Mortal Kombat 1 shows an early shot of the base roster that adds evidence to the theory that Ermac was supposed to be playable at launch.

Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter is a game nearly every fighting game fan wants to see. But is it actually a good idea, and how will it work?

Ed Boon and John Tobias created the iconic and infamously brutal fighter Mortal Kombat way back in 1992. While they've never stepped their virtual feet into the game as guest fighters, the modding community has been working hard to change that.
