Mortal Kombat X News

Microsoft has announced more games coming to Xbox Game Pass in December.

Publisher Warner Bros. has gone some way to repairing its shattered reputation on Steam by fixing the PC version of Mortal Kombat X.

Earlier this week Mortal Kombat X launched its Kombat Pack 2 DLC for PS4 and Xbox One, adding Leatherface, Triborg, Bo' Rai Cho and the Xenomorph from Alien to NetherRealm's fighting game. Now, you can play these characters for free this weekend.

Video game publisher Warner has been accused of abandoning customers who bought Mortal Kombat X after it confirmed key downloadable content will not be released for that version of the fighting game.

Warner's announced Mortal Kombat XL, an expanded version of the fighting game that includes all the downloadable content released so far.

Mortal Kombat X will get four new DLC characters in the first half of 2016.

Tremor smashes into fighting game Mortal Kombat X tomorrow, Tuesday 21st July.

Developer NetherRealm has shown off Predator in fighting game Mortal Kombat X.

A recent Mortal Kombat X update has added three new Brutalities to the comically gruesome fighting game.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of Mortal Kombat X have been further delayed until this autumn, a new report suggests.

Mortal Kombat X's Blanche is the old lady who pops up in the background of the fighting game's Outworld Marketplace arena. She is a "Level Interaction", meaning players can grab her and smash her against their opponent. Since Mortal Kombat X's launch, using poor old Blanche to smash up your foe has always left her in a bloody heap on the ground.

UPDATE 06/05/2015 10.57pm: High Voltage have released a fixed version of the Jason patch that won't wipe players' progress, the developer announced in a Steam community update.

Unfortunately, this won't bring back lost progress to the unlucky folks who downloaded the patch before it was fixed. "We are truly sorry if the recent patch did cause you to lose your game save," the developer stated. "Affected players should be hearing from us soon with details on how we are addressing the situation."

The developer added that if players don't hear back by Friday, 8th May, at 12pm EST (8pm UK time), they should submit a customer service help request by heading to the game's support page, and clicking "Ask for Help" then selecting question type "Gameplay Help Request" and choosing "Save Game Issue" under specific question.

Jason Voorhees, beloved slayer of annoying teenagers from Friday the 13th, will join the kast of Mortal Kombat on 5th May for Season Pass... ahem, Kombat Pack, holders.

Mortal Kombat X enjoyed the series' biggest ever launch in the UK.

NetherRealm's gory fighting game debuted at number one in this week's chart, scoring the second biggest launch of the year so far behind Battlefield Hardline.

61 per cent of physical sales went to the PlayStation 4 version, Chart-Track reports, with 38 per cent on Xbox One and one per cent on PC. As always, it's worth noting that Chart-Track's data does not include downloads, so sales of MKX on Steam, for example, were not counted.

Warner Bros. has announced Mortal Kombat X: Mobile, due out April for iOS and Android devices.

As you'd expect, it's a mobile version of NetherRealm's gory fighting game Mortal Kombat X. Unlike its big brother, however, Mortal Kombat X: Mobile is free-to-play and is described as a "fighting/card-battler hybrid".

The trailer, below, doesn't give away much, but we can see you need to swipe to "Finish Him", so there are Fatalities, card collecting and multiplayer.

Mortal Kombat X's PC version's system requirements have been unveiled on Steam.

Warner Bros has made a £100 Mortal Kombat special edition that includes a Scorpion figurine designed by Coarse.

Ermac - the now-established Mortal Kombat fighter who originated as a fan-fabricated character who was sparked into life by an alleged glitch in the original 1992 game - is playable in Mortal Kombat X - and developer NetherRealm has released a short 1080p60 gameplay video showcasing his special moves.

Ermac is a soul-harbouring ninja who uses telekinesis to chuck himself about and break his opponents' bones from afar. You get a good sense of this with Ermac's X-Ray move. Warning, it's not for the faint of heart.

We also catch a glimpse at Ermac's Fatality, although in true Mortal Kombat X trailer tradition, the video ends before the gruesome payoff.

Pukey fighting game veteran Reptile is a playable character in Mortal Kombat X.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released the first gameplay footage of Kitana and Kung Lao in NetherRealm's bloody fighting game Mortal Kombat X.

As is Mortal Kombat tradition, Kitana uses her fan blades to slice and dice, and Kung Lao uses his razor sharp hat to cut up his enemies. Be warned, the video, below, is pretty gruesome.

As we reported back in September, four-armed Mortal Kombat brute Goro is a pre-order bonus. Now we know he's tied to GAME in the UK. So, yes, you have to pre-order Mortal Kombat X with GAME if you want to play as Goro. Sigh.

New fighting game Mortal Kombat X will be released around the world starting 14th April, Warner has announced. That's a Tuesday and that's definitely the date for the UK, Warner PR confirmed.

The game's due out on five platforms: PC, PS4 and PS3, and Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Goro, the iconic four-armed brute, has become a pre-order bonus character (and presumably paid DLC at a later point?). I'm sure that'll go down well. There's no word on which UK retailers you'll have to pre-order at to enable the deal.

Sony debuted the first footage of Mortal Kombat X during its E3 conference tonight.

It showed Scorpion fighting old pal, err enemy, Sub-Zero, and two other characters I don't know the names of. One was a hulking brute with a little child on its back, a bit like Hodor and Bran if you know what I'm talking about.

This was next-gen footage and the game looked handsome if somewhat unremarkable. But remember that Mortal Kombat X is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
