NetherRealm Studios and WB Games recently debuted gameplay footage for Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC character, Invincible’s Omni-Man, though it seems the DLC will be omitting something that past DLC additions to Mortal Kombat games have not.
A new gameplay trailer has been released showing off the upcoming Omni-Man DLC, which is inspired by the Invincible comic book and Prime Video adult animated series and features the voice of actor J. K. Simmons. It will be released on November 9 as the first playable character in the Kombat Pack.
Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC character, Omni-Man, is available to download from November 9, Warner Bros. Games and developer NetherRealm have announced.
In a recent announcement, developer Vivid Storm Interactive and publisher Camlann Games have decided to delay the Early Access release of their eagerly anticipated colony sim game, Ascent of Ashes. Originally scheduled to launch on November 15, the developers have decided to postpone the release to the first quarter of 2024. This decision comes as part of their dedication to perfecting the game and implementing valuable feedback from the gaming community.
NetherRealm Studios has a big new update available for Mortal Kombat 1, which adds a long-request quality-of-life feature: tagging moves. Players can now tag moves from the Move List to the screen, making it easier to practice them. The Move Last will also remember if Advanced View is enabled and return to the last used tab.
Mortal Kombat 1 recently released to some great reviews, and while fans are generally having a great time with the game – not every decision has been met with a positive response. A recent update to the game had a patch note stating “Halloween Fatality added to the Premium Store”, but no such fatalities were found within the game itself.
Xbox spills the beans on when the Invincible villain joins the MK1 roster.
Andrew Morgado, the voice actor for Mortal Kombat 1‘s Reptile, seems to have accidentally revealed that the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day will be making its way to the game’s roster. Speaking about working on the game as a voice actor, Morgado talks about meeting various other actors, like Ronda Rousey. He goes on to reveal that Robert Patrick was present at the studio to do work for T-1000.
Mortal Kombat 1 is set in a new timeline written by Fire God Liu Kang, which means certain relationships and identities have changed. Kuai Liang is now Scorpion, Mileena and Kitana are sisters, and Tarkatan is a disease, not a people. That leaves the question of where the Kombat Kids fit in, but leakers may have found the answer in datamined DLC voice lines which were proven true by the Omni-Man trailer.
As a nineties kid, I didn’t escape the Mortal Kombat craze that ruled the world at the tail end of millennia. Seeing Scorpion’s familiar face is pure nostalgia fuel, so I never miss an opportunity to test out every new addition to the franchise. Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, however, is not what I expected from this long-running series—it’s a strategic auto-battler. Don’t worry; the good old fatalities are still there and as satisfying as ever.
If you are playing the PC version of Mortal Kombat 1 and have experienced crashes, you might be surprised to learn that NetherRealm's latest fighting game leaves an extra digital footprint on your PC as it takes up more space on your hard-drive.
Some Mortal Kombat 1 players have theorised that the game was originally supposed to be Injustice 3 and that it was changed mid-development, but there's more evidence against that theory than there is for it.
