Dates and address locations for each stop on the tour are as yet unavailable. Mortal Kombat Online will endeavor to stay abreast of updates and changes. Follow us on Twitter, @MK_Online, for live updates. Stay tuned to the official Mortal Kombat Facebook, as well.

As reported earlier in the week, fans can receive a range of goodies for attending Tour stops. Proof of pre-order will get you a Mortal Kombat Truck Tour t-shirt, while three free downloads from the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired by the Warriors album are offered to everyone.

Images of these bonuses and the event trucks can be found in the original story, and in a new live video report from Mahalo.com [embedded above], conducted by MKO forum user, !

Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, and Mileena are all playable in the tour demo, which will also be made available exclusively for download on the PlayStation Network March 15, March 8 for members of PlayStation Plus. For a complete account of the demo, with details about brand new fatality footage, follow the story. Mortal Kombat is released April 19 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Continuing the busy week of news, Xbox360Achievements.org has revealed a list of achievements unlockable for the upcoming Mortal Kombat. As is typical, the achievement points add up to 1000 total and currently number 50 in total.

The achievements vary in nature but seem to cover all modes of the game. There are several achievements for winning a certain number of matches online, as well as completing the Challenge Tower and Story modes. Several mini-game related achievements also exist, asking players to complete challenges with Test Your Might, Test Your Sight, Test Your Strike and Test Your Luck. Straight gameplay achievements also exist, requiring that you complete throws, X-ray attacks and fatalities. Of note, a specific achievement regarding Cyrax and Sektor is mentioned called "Robots Rule". This could lead to rumors about yet-to-be-seen character Smoke and whether he too is robotic or human in this game.

There are 10 "secret achievements" which we assume are being kept under wraps to protect many of the game's reported hidden gems. Six of these achievements are listed with the 10 point award while the remaining four are listed with 20 points.

To view the complete list of achievements, click here. We assume PS3's Trophies will be similar if not identical. Thanks to forum member and #mortalkombat IRC Network chatter Mimik for bringing these to our attention.

The latest webcast episode of IGN Weekly 'Wood features interview bytes from two members of the upcoming Mortal Kombat digital series cast and crew. Series star, Michael Jai White, and producer, Tim Carter, elaborate on the serialized format of the show and attempt to articulate what to expect from its content.

Michael Jai White, who stars opposite Jeri Ryan (Sonya Blade) as Jax, describes their portion of the series as within "the domain of reality" adding, "... with maybe 15% supernatural." The quote addresses concerns about how original plotlines from the Mortal Kombat canon would be adapted into the live-action series. Carter elaborates further with consideration for the material.

"... Each package of episodes will address different characters and different pieces of the game. For instance, Sonya/Jax/Kano is very close to what was in the short - it's a gritty police story. When we pick up the other game characters, they exist in a fantasy world, so we're going to that fantasy world together."

For full details, including an up-to-date roster of confirmed cast and crew members, follow the story on MKO. Also recently released; first-look of a mysterious new character from the show [full story]. Thanks go to Joe-Von-Zombie for the word on this update! Find the original video on IGN.com.

On the heels of their on-hands interview with Ed Boon yesterday, Gamespot continues their coverage of this year's Game Developers Conference by releasing a set of new gameplay videos. Totaling 10 today, the videos feature the likes of Mileena, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Kano, Jax, Sonya, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Cyrax and Sektor.

Of note in these videos include the recently unveiled re-imaging of MK3's The Bridge, which now features a colossal being attacking buildings while being combated by military forces and a fire-breathing dragon bringing its wrath to a boat below. All aforementioned characters are shown completely, round intros, mid round taunts and end round celebrations included.

Thanks to Twitter, the stream of teases and factoids from the cast and crew of April's live-action Mortal Kombat digital series have come thick and fast! Series director, Kevin Tancharoen, has delivered yet another tantalizing message, mere days after sharing images of what appear to be Scorpion and the results of a Spine Rip Fatality!

This latest image comes with the quizzical message, "Who do you guys think this is?"

Fans on Twitter have been quick to speculate everywhere from Kano, to Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang), to an uncharacteristically fleshy looking Meat. If we aren't mistaken, however, that's Ryan Robbin -- actor previously confirmed to play what appears to be a decidedly shabby looking Raiden!

The Thunder God has a long history with assuming a mortal form, doing so within the storyline of the games, as well as the character's iconic introduction as a beggar in the 1995 film, Mortal Kombat.

It wouldn't be a Mortal Kombat tease without rampant speculation. Be sure to sign-up to the forum to share your thoughts on who this disheveled individual might be! You can also follow MKO on Twitter @MK_Online. For more details about the live-action series, refer to our full recap.
