We now have our own copies of the pictures that IGN released a few days ago.We have also improved the quality of them. You can also check out these pictures in our Mortal Kombat 5 Images Section. Click on the thumbnails below for a larger version. Enjoy!

IGN PS2 made a visit to Midway's Gamers' Day 2001 event in San Diego, CA and scored some pictures of pre-rendered art from the next-generation Mortal Kombat game. The pictures look great, although at this point it is difficult to say whether the artwork is from the actual gameplay. Check out the 2 photos here: Photo 1 | Photo 2. The game is slated to hit shelves sometime in 2002.

Get ready as The #mortalkombat IRC Network will be hosting another Fight Night chat with Mortal Kombat Annihilation star Marjean Holden (Sheeva). This event will take place Wednesday night, August 22nd at 8:00pm EST / 5:00pm PST. You are welcome to come join us that night as Marjean talks to the fans about her current projects and her inside scoop about scenes that never made the final cut in the second Mortal Kombat film. To connect to the chat you can use a IRC client such as mIRC and set it for the following settings: server: irc.webmaster.com port: 6667 channel: #mortalkombat For easy access you can use our java chatroom by clicking here. Thanks to John Overlie for setting up this event.

The merge itself is almost here (see previous post), but as a special surprise we've decided to put up our new sections! Get your controllers out and start moving those thumbs as we introduce our new MK Gold, Mortal Kombat 4, and MK Classics pages!

In just days Mortal Kombat Nightmares, one of the greatest MK websites of all time, will be merging with no other than MK5.org! This merge will signify a new age in giving you, our fans, the best coverage of Mortal Kombat 5 on the internet. Almost all of the great content available at MK Nightmares will soon be available here at this website. Our new MK Gold, MK4, and MK Klassic sections will be posted just shortly after the merge. We will try to make this new transition as smoothly as possible for both sites.

How will this merge go forth? Soon http://www.mknightmares.com will mirror to this website at http://www.mk5.org . The MK Nightmares website will be closing. Our site name will remain MK5.ORG.This merge will bring in tons of new traffic to our website. Though it will be a big change for all, we promise this is a step in the right direction for our website and our viewers in the years ahead!
