Mortal Kombat 1 Not Included At EVO 2026

Dec 11, 2025 11:09am by Fuzz in Mortal Kombat General Discussion

To nobody's surprise, Mortal Kombat 1 will not be featured at the EVO 2026 fighting game tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be the first time since 2011 that a Mortal Kombat game will not be making an appearance.

The decisions to add mandatory assist fighters, radically alter many of fan-favorite characters, such as changing Cyrax and Sektor into females, along with a severe lack of content compared to other installments that came before it, left many long time fans of the franchise less than satisfied with Mortal Kombat 1.

Add Mortal Kombat 1's low turnout at EVO 2025, and the organizers probably felt it best to leave it off the lineup.

Below are the 12 games that will be featured at the tournament:

Netflix To Acquire Warner Brothers Studios

Dec 05, 2025 10:19am by ChAsESaVaGe in General Discussion

On December 5th, 2025, streaming giant Netflix announced it will be acquiring the streaming and studio divisions of Warner Brothers. This acquisition will give ownership of Warner Brothers' extensive content library to Netflix, which also includes Warner Bros. Games. Now popular video game properties such as Harry Potter, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and of course Mortal Kombat will have new ownership under the streaming service. More▼

While not complete just yet, as the deal still needs government approval, it's certainly looking like this will be a reality for the Mortal Kombat franchise and Netherrealm Studios.

Not sure what this means for MK. I just hope it's positive. Definitely not sure how I feel about it.

Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Releasing A Little Sooner

Oct 22, 2025 7:18am by Fuzz in Mortal Kombat General Discussion

After learning the sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat movie was being pushed back from October 2025 to May 2026, fans were rightfully a little upset. More▼

Now according to Superherohype.com, the movie will be arriving in theaters one week sooner than planned.

Now, the sequel has been bumped up by a week, meaning Mortal Kombat II will arrive on May 8, 2026. The move makes sense and allows the movie to have some more breathing room before Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives on May 22.

While not a huge bump, it makes sense not to go head-to-head with a new Star Wars film.

Sub-Zero appearing in DC K.O.

Oct 12, 2025 8:02am by ChAsESaVaGe in Mortal Kombat General Discussion

Looks like Sub-Zero will be making an appearance in DC K.O. next year!

DC K.O. refers to a future DC Comics event scheduled for 2025-2026 that involves a fighting tournament between members of the Justice League Unlimited. The winner will become "King Omega," an Omega Energy-powered champion tasked with defeating Darkseid and stopping him from conquering reality. More▼

Homelander from The Boys franchise will also be in it, and I for one hope he learns the hard way his power is laughable compared to Superman!

From Popverse.com:

Sub-Zero’s appearance in the issue was announced during the Jim Lee & Friends panel at New York Comic Con 2025 when the DC publisher and president was joined onstage by none other than Ed Boone, creator of Mortal Kombat.

“We thought it would be really cool to pull in characters from outside the DC multiverse and kind of spice things up,” Lee said about the character’s appearance in the current event. He also joked that fans should look out for the “Death of Sub-Zero Anniversary Special.” At least, we think it was a joke…?

While DC has previously published Mortal Kombat comic books, including 2015’s Mortal Kombat X — and, for that matter, the DC superheroes have previously battled the Mortal Kombat characters in the 2008 video game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe — this will be the first time a Mortal Kombat character has appeared in DC canon, never mind as part of a major DC comic book event storyline

I’ll be keeping an eye out for Sub-Zero’s issue in February for sure!
