An interactive archive of a legendary franchise.

Finally, finally Warner Bros has decided to “finish it” and partner with retro game collection specialists Digital Eclipse to bring the original Mortal Kombat games to PS5 and PS4.

Featuring the voice and likeness of original actor Robert Patrick, this first look trailer gives us an early taste of the character in action. And there’s a lot of what you’d expect from the 1991 movie, including the character’s infamous blade and hook arms. At one point he even dissolves into a pit of metallic gel, before rising up to release a devastating upper-cut.

21st January for Kombat Pack 2 owners.

The latest Mortal Kombat 1 guest character, Conan the Barbarian, will be available for Kombat Pack 2 owners to play from 21st January 2025 in a week of early access. The fighter becomes available for everyone else on 28th January, leaving standard players an extra seven days to mull over the gameplay trailer above.

Equipped with his iconic sword, Conan features the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger and "stands ready to defend Earthrealm against the vile beings that mean to conquer it" in Mortal Kombat 1. His moveset is built around the Atlantean Sword in question, as he slashes and dices his foes.
