]]>Earlier today, SonicFox took the first-place prize in Mortal Kombat 1 at Evo 2024. However, while their peers are sponsored and traveling across the globe with the assistance of major gaming organizations, they remain a free agent. A key reason? The Esports World Cup.
]]>It was a wonderful weekend full of fighting game action thanks to CEO 2024, which was live in the USA. However, amidst many a tense match in Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and more, it was a Mortal Kombat 1 player that shattered expectations with an over-eager pop off.
]]>As popular as they might be, Warner Bros. has seemingly threatened to "destroy" YouTuber ToastedShoes' channel over his Mortal Kombat 1 mod videos.
]]>Hello there. Another games studio has left the warm, er, embrace of the nice little friendship thing Embracer Group recently morphed into, and it's via an acquisition by Nintendo this time. The studio is Shiver Entertainment, and if you've ever played Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch, you've enjoyed a bit of their work.
]]>If you've been following along with the big tiff rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been playing out via some pretty spicy diss tracks since things came to a bit of a head back in March, you'll be glad to know that you can now make the two settle their differences via a good old-fashioned brawl. Yup, a Mortal Kombat 1 modder has swapped out some of its fighters for the pair of feuding dudes.
]]>It's already been a few years since the first Mortal Kombat movie, but Warner Bros. has finally set a date for its sequel.
]]>Mortal Kombat 11 is five years old today. Although the 11 at the end of the title might suggest otherwise, this was actually an unusual game in many ways. As much as it represented the final chapter in a long-running story, I like to also think of Mortal Kombat 11 as the last game of its kind from developer NetherRealm.
]]>NetherRealm Studios has announced crossplay will come to Mortal Kombat 1 with next week’s patch.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1's second guest character is almost here, and it's none other than Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad (2021) and the Max TV series of the same name, complete with John Cena's iconic voice.
]]>Quan Chi, the first DLC character coming to Mortal Kombat 1, has been shown off in a new gameplay trailer, and I do wish there were just a few less tentacles.
]]>As a way of addressing fervent feedback from the Mortal Kombat 1 community, Warner Bros. has reacted to the backlash over the pricing of fatalities by handing out two free fatalities to those who dished out $10 at Halloween.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 has been out for a while now, with the blood and guts gushing forth from its brutal battles evoking joy in the numerous fans who've rushed to swim around in the viscera. Though, while the base game is good, its post-launch microtransactions have rubbed folks the wrong way.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 is here, which means we're all excited to check out the variety of new ruthless fatalities usable in game. It's a bit trickier to unlock additional fatalities this time around, especially compared to some of the older games in the series. However, even if you aren't able to invest too much time, there are still plenty for you to try out from the moment you boot the game up.
]]>Video games and excessive violence go together like cheese and crackers. Laurel and Hardy. Beer and nuts. Bacon and, er, rolls. Playstation exclusives and the concept of mediocrity. We love simulated violence here at VG247, but not the real stuff, so when it came to the task of deciding which notably ultraviolent game is the best one of all we decided to solve our differences via the medium of a weekly panel show format that goes out on all the major podcast platforms and YouTube. Conveniently, we already had one, which is this show: The Best Games Ever Podcast, which you're probably listening to now if you're reading this.
]]>It should not be a controversial stance to believe that you, as an actor, own your own voice. However, this belief is at the center of what could be a second major video game voice actor strike. The second such strike in a decade.

]]>We all know why you're here - you wanna see some gruesome fatalities in the new Mortal Kombat game. It's okay - we're all friends here. With Mortal Kombat 1's release, we've got a huge number of new MK1 fatalities to check out. That being said, a lot of them are locked away behind character levels this time around, meaning in order to see them all you'll need to grind out a bunch of matches.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 is here at last, giving us a whole new roster of old favourites to mess around with. Havik is one among them - a fighter who hasn't really had a presence in the series for some time. If you're excited to try Havik out, you'll quickly noticed Havik is locked in the character select screen. This begs the question: how do you unlock Havik in Mortal Kombat 1?
]]>When the credits rolled at the end of Mortal Kombat 11 and the future of a rebooted timeline was clear as crystal, I'll admit I was equal parts excited and worried. The Mortal Kombat universe is this gigantic, gruesome box packed to bursting with lore-drenched realms and dozens of playable characters, all stuffed down with years of skin, spine, and spindly bits. Surely, there are only so many times you can tell the story of the Earthrealm gang wandering into the blender that is the Mortal Kombat tournament before even the most devoted of MK fans dream of pastures new.

So much of the game revolves around the gap in the air; the battle screen has even been pulled back slightly to accommodate a nice big chunk of space above your fighters’ heads to ensure there’s room for a nasty little melee dogfight or two up there.
]]>As promised, Ed Boon showed up to reveal Mortal Kombat 1 Summer Game Fest's 2023 showcase, delivering a deep look at Mortal Kombat 1's story, gameplay, and of course, fatalities. The game's reveal three weeks ago was surprisingly lacking in gameplay footage, though it did tease a couple of new mechanics.
