NetherRealm Studios and WB Games are ratcheting up the marketing for Mortal Kombat 1 in anticipation of its launch on September, having revealed a new gameplay trailer earlier this month, and of course, there’s plenty more waiting in the wings. It was recently confirmed that the upcoming fighter would have a panel at San Diego Comic-Con this Friday, and now, series creator Ed Boon has offered some details on what to expect from it.

Mortal Kombat 1 will make a big appearance at San Diego Comic Con this year.

Spider-Man fans might have thought that they'd escaped the infamous image of Peter and Miles standing in an alleyway from the Spider-Man 2 reveal trailer, but it's invaded real-life thanks to a photo opportunity at San Diego Comic-Con.

San Diego Comic-Con is starting this week, and several major titles, like Ascendant Studios’Immortals of Aveum, will be present. The development will have a panel at 12:45 PM PT on July 21st. However, before that, a new in-game cinematic is being revealed at 9 AM PT.

When it comes to fighting games, one of the main highlights is the various fighters using different styles to differentiate themselves from each other. If everyone fought the same way, it would get rather boring as it wouldn’t have anything “fresh” to do as you went from character to character. Tekken 8 is coming soon, and it will be at San Diego Comic-Con to show off some things. More than likely, we’ll get a new trailer and character reveals. But in their panel called “The Art of Fighting,” they’ll talk about the fighting styles they use in the game alongside fighting legends. One such legend at the panel will be “Iron” Mike Tyson!

Tens of thousands of actors in the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union are on strike, shutting down numerous film and TV productions. Members of the union can’t act in television, theatrical, or streaming productions under strike rules, nor can they promote projects they’ve already filmed. But they can work on other types of productions, including video games.

Insomniac Games has provided a fresh look at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 villain Venom.

Ahead of tomorrow's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Insomniac Games has shared a first full look at Venom's design in Spider-Man 2 outside of concept art, as well as going into detail about his creation and Tony Todd's involvement with the character.

If all that regular Marvel style wasn't your thing, try this on for size.

The first trailer for The Wheel of Time season 2 is finally here – and it's giving us all the fantasy drama epicness we could hope for.

Horror comic Hack/Slash is back with a new spinoff and a new creator in 2023 Eisner Award nominee Zoe Thorogood.

Robosen Robotics, the robot maker that released an auto-transforming version of Autobots leader Optimus Prime in 2021, is giving the same treatment to Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots who prefers to refer to himself in the third-person at all times. Like Optimus, Grimlock is an “auto-converting robot” that responds to voice and app commands, and can walk in both robot and dinosaur form.

Fans of the fighting genre have had it good for a while now, and by the looks of it, things are going to get better still. Mortal Kombat 1 is looking like it’s going to be a big factor in that, with all that we’ve seen of the upcoming reboot so far having looked more than a little promising. Soon enough, NetherRealm Studios will have even more to show.
