Photo of Script Excites Mortal Kombat Fans

The writer of the upcoming Mortal Kombat film, Greg Russo, has confirmed via his Twitter page that a script is ready:

Additionally, when asked about Kabal (who was confirmed in the previous Tancharoen script), Russo gave the following response:

It's also worth pointing out that the older Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) will be playing a prominent role in the film, while the younger Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) will be given due consideration in the sequel. He has tapped fans for their suggestions of weapons, armor, etc. that they would like to see Sub-Zero use, with the unanimous picks being forwarded to the director, Simon McQuoid .

While the studio has noted that the movie has seen some delays, fans will doubtless be excited that those seem to have been overcome and the movie is one step closer to becoming a reality.

MK11 Kombat Kast Postponed Until Next Week
NetherRealm freezes over in record cold!

The first developer stream of the Mortal Kombat 11 cycle has been postponed due to extreme inclement weather. CBS Chicago forecasts the lowest temperatures to hit the windy city since 1985, with wind chill taking temperatures down to -50° in some areas! NetherRealm Studios issued a statement to Twitter, citing worker safety as they delay the stream for an additional week.

The Kombat Kast livestream is now scheduled to return Tuesday, February 5th at 3:00pm CST. That's the same day Inside Xbox will premier with new Mortal Kombat 11 info, as well.

Viewers who tuned in to the full Los Angeles presentation from The Reveal are widely anticipating the Kombat Kast's return, with an on-stage teaser pointing strongly towards the unveiling of cult returning character: Kabal! A reminiscent figure dashed unannounced across screens, captured in the tantalizing still below.

The hideously disfigured Black Dragon fighter was last seen as a revenant during the Mortal Kombat X story mode, but hasn't been playable since the prior installment. A timebending plot will see the original trilogy fold over with the present timeline as depicted in Mortal Kombat 11, allowing different eras of the same character to collide!

Mortal Kombat 11 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in just a few months - April 23rd! Join the discussion, share your wishlist, and follow news on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

Xbox has promoted the returning season premiere for their Inside Xbox webseries with the promise of bigs things, including the implied feature of unspecified new info from Mortal Kombat 11!

The announcement post is slightly hedging its bets, putting Mortal Kombat 11 first in a list of titles set to feature reveals and new info during the episode. It implies there'll be something new from MK11, but the exact copy is not entirely clear:

And that’s just the start! We’ve got reveals and new info to share on Mortal Kombat 11, The Division 2, Sea of Thieves, Astroneer, Journey to the Savage Planet, Jump Force, Metro Exodus, and of course, Xbox Game Pass and bunch of news under lock and key so be sure to tune in on Tuesday, February 5.

It's been almost a fortnight since The Reveal live event gave starving fans new information and character reveals from Mortal Kombat 11. An expected developer stream was postponed due to inclement weather and will now run the same day as Inside Xbox.

Be watching Tuesday, February 5th on Twitch or YouTube at 5:00PM ET (2:00PM PT) to find out what Mortal Kombat morsels lie Inside Xbox! Share your speculation and reactions on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
