GameSpot has a new Mortal Kombat character vignette for Liu Kang, who was announced just last week. As is usual with these vignettes, there's bits of gameplay and some story background. Not only does this video give a look at Liu Kang, but it also casually drops a new character reveal, one that you probably saw coming. Give it a look after the jump.
G4's Adam Sessler sat down with Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon to talk about Mortal Kombat 9 for a recent segment for X-Play. The interview doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but it does show off a bit of Sonya gameplay, including a glimpse at her X-Ray and one of her "enhanced" moves, among other various bits of gameplay. Check it out after the break.
There is a very interesting article today on TheSixthAxis titled "Why You Should Be Worried About Mortal Kombat". The article draws a comparison between the game's developer, NetherRealm Studios, and the competition with regards to fan feedback during the development process. Here's a sample.
"Mortal Kombat is easily the most important game for the franchise in recent memory, and yet there doesn’t seem to be much desire for direct fan feedback. I saw a live demo at E3 and I was easily impressed. However, I only saw what the developers wanted me to see. It was flashy eye candy with the devs using simplified controls to show all the crazy combos."
This is interesting. Do you agree with the article's premise?
GameSpot put up an interview with NetherRealm Studios lead designer Paolo Garcia over on their site. In the interview, Paolo talks about the rebirth of fighting games, the character selection process and lessons learned from previous entries in the Mortal Kombat series. As a bonus of sorts to the interview, GameSpot also has four brand new screens, one of which shows off Stryker who, if you paid close attention, made a brief appearance in the recent X-Ray trailer from IGN.
You can check out the interview by clicking here and you can check out the screenshot of Stryker after the break.
IGN uploaded a cool video where the MK development team talks in depth about the X-Ray moves found in the new game. They go through how the models were created and other interesting details. Also, I guess I'm behind on MK news and reveals but this is the first time I've seen Goro gameplay. Looks dope! Check it out below.
NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive released a new Mortal Kombat gameplay trailer today featuring Mileena. She's got an absolutely nasty combo about half-way through the video, so it's definitely worth checking out even if you don't particularly care for Mortal Kombat. Find it after the break.
It's Fatality Friday again, and it's time for another Mortal Kombat video! This one is a stage bio of the Dead Pool, another classic stage from the series' past!
Usually I'd say that background info on a stage in a fighting game is a waste of time, but the ones that are put together for Mortal Kombat are actually really well done and the tidbits of background info do add to the game IMO. Even if you care nothing for backstory, this short vid is worth a look for some gameplay footage and a good look at the stage's details.
Gamespot just released the character vignette for Mileena in the new Mortal Kombat. This video shows a little about her past and why she has enterd the Mortal Kombat tournament. They also show the true beast that lives within her and only one person can control her.

A new video surfaced on the Mortal Kombat YouTube Channel asking the developers where they would take Mileena on a date if they had the chance.

Head Over to AvoidingThePuddle.com to put in your two cents about not being able to hear AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH ever again.
Both Cliff Bleszinski and Ed Boon have been blowing up Twitter lately, dropping some hints that appear they would both like to see a Gears of War character in the new Mortal Kombat. This has been discussed to no end by fans in response to Kratos being an exclusive character for the PS3 version of the game. Is this nothing more than a tease, or is there a bit of truth in these tweets?
Check out the tweets below, and read more about it on GameInformer.com:
TRMK posted up some information on a port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for iPhone and mention that the game is set to release before Christmas. The game appears to use a similar control layout as Street Fighter IV for the iPhone, with a touch joystick on the left and buttons on the right.
The original roster for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 had 22 total playable characters, but this port will only have 11, with rumors of Goro and Shao Kahn being unlockable. Check out a few screenshots and a preview video below.

Previous trailer lasted 58 seconds, this one is 1 minute, 41 seconds long. Although Kratos' appearance is same, Scorpion vs Sub-Zero battle has extra scenes. Worth checking out.
A new Mortal Kombat trailer just popped up today officially revealing Kratos from God of War! Keep in mind that this is just a CG video, so don't expect any gameplay, but it's still bad ass either way.
An idea that was originally brought up in a panel at E3 to Ed Boon, and one that many thought would be cool but unlikely, is now a reality: Kratos from God of War will be a playable character in Mortal Kombat 9. Keep in mind this is a Playstation 3 exclusive character, and will only be available in versus mode, not in story mode.
Stickskills, which originally broke this news just now, is reporting that he will have his own set of Fatalities, combos and even his own God of War themed stage. This information was taken from the January issue of the issue of the
