RoboCop is the future of law enforcement and downloadable guest fighters in MK11. The iconic movie cyborg is one of three characters coming in the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expansion. Take a closer look in official render art:

The game authentically recreates Rob Botin's original RoboCop design, and will also include the blue-hued revision seen in the 1990 sequel. NetherRealm Studios created a digital capture by scanning original actor Peter Weller, who also provides the genuine voice for RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11. You can see he carries his trademark leg-holstered Auto 9 - a modified Beretta 93R machine pistol.

In addition to the cinematic classics; RoboCop will have dozens of customizable armor pieces as part of Mortal Kombat 11's extensive a la carte design mechanic. This will include an MK3 inspired Cyber Lin Kuei skin, as well as other alternative visions of his head gear, armor, and choice of weapon.

MK 11: Aftermath is coming to digital platforms starting May 26th, with a disc-based release for the Americas currently slated for some time in June. Your move, creep. Share your thoughts about the latest crossover fighter in the comments below and find more news and information on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum.

Along with three new characters and an all-new story chapters: Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will bring new fighting arenas to the battlefield of Mortal Kombat 11 free for all! Take a closer look at one of the klassic returning concepts: The Soul Chamber!

NetherRealm Studios released the official arena render embedded above via Twitter, giving us an overview of its newest version. It can also be seen in the background of an official hi-res screenshot showing a battle between Fujin and Shang Tsung.

This time the cavernous Soul Chamber appears to be located more specifically within a cathedral, surrounded by arcane artifacts and scriptures. Like past incarnations, it's identified by the large open maw of a head-like structure filled with the swirling green energy of tortured souls.

The Soul Chamber made its first appearance in Mortal Kombat 3 [pictured below], where it seemed to be part of Shao Kahn's Outworld tower. Upercutting an opponent through the ceiling would send them to The Balcony stage. The stage later returned in Mortal Kombat Gold, Armageddon, and revamped for the 2011 reboot.

Story & Voice Director Dominic Cianciolo had praise for the story-driven arena update in a PlayStation blog: "One other benefit of a new story? Our environment team got to build a bevy of new stages. They outdid themselves with fresh takes on the Klassic Dead Pool and Soul Chamber arenas, as well as a new stage that showcases the exterior of Kronika’s Keep."

MK11: Aftermath is released digitally starting May 26th, with a disc version exclusive to the Americas slated for June. New arenas, stage fatalities, and friendships will be released free to all MK11 owners.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will renew hostilities when downloadable fighters get involved with additional story mode chapters coming later this month - but that's not all. MK will also embrace a softer side with the return of Friendships! Join the party in the official trailer:

The trailer features a rapidfire montage of highlights from various character's upcoming friendly finishers. It all unfolds to the rapturous late nineties ska sound of Smash Mouth, covering War's iconic 1975 single Why Can't We Be Friends?

Where these moves are from: fighters play a pretty song and there's always music in the air. Kollector is a one-man band, Kabal chops wood on the xylophone, Sindel warbles into a champagne glass, and Jax does his best impression of Sergey "Epic Sax Guy" Stepanov in an homage to SunStroke Project's meme-ified 2010 Eurovision performance!

Friendships have really gone to another level since their debut in Mortal Kombat II, but don't think NetherRealm Studios has forgotten where it came from. Liu Kang is bringing back disco, Johnny Cage reprises his Ninja Mime role, Scorpion got a bigger teddy bear since MK2011, and pint-sized dynamo Kidd Thunder is back too for a laser light show!

There are far too many madcap antics crammed into the 90 second trailer to recap, all offering different shades of our favourite fighters. There is one particularly noteworthy cameo, though. Mileena joins her genetic sister for some schoolyard hand clapping!

Watch the embedded trailer above and preview Kano & Noob Saibot's Friendships in their entirety by following the link! MK11: Aftermath will be available digitally from May 26th, with Friendships, Stage Fatalities, and new Arenas all coming in a free update for anyone with MK11!

Update (July 3rd): The 2020 Evo Online event has officially been cancelled. Refer to the aforementioned link for details. Original Story: Balance has been restored with the announcement of Evo Online: a digital replacement for this year's cancelled 2020 Evo World Championship in Las Vegas. The event will include four online open tournaments, including Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath! Watch the trailer:

Mortal Kombat 11 was a shock omission from the original Evo 2020 lineup, but needs have made necessity of the online fighter, which was announced alongside Killer Instinct, Them's Fightin' Herds, and Skullgirls 2nd Encore. This comes with the removal of Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Evo 2020 was cancelled at the start of May as a result of lockdown measures imposed by the COVID-19 global pandemic. The online replacement event will take place over five weekends in July, with sign-up information still to come.

Robocop is Omni Consumer Product's future of law enforcement, built around the legally dead remains of injured police officer: Alex Murphy. What if somebody else got their hands on the hi-tech chassis? Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will go there with a Cyber Lin Kuei skin. Take a closer look:

Lead Character Artist Brendan George revealed the alternate skin in a PlayStation Blog entry. He explains NetherRealm's unique twist is specifically inspired by the original MK3 Lin Kuei Cyber Assassins. This is reflected in render images released to Twitter, coloured yellow, red, purple, and even Sub-Zero blue.

George also assures authenticity for the Robocop design, which will appear grey, as in the original film, and with the blue hue seen in its 1990 sequel. NetherRealm Studios were also able to capture RoboCop's voice and likeness with an in-studio scanning of actor Peter Weller.

Being able to scan and record Peter Weller for the RoboCop model, as well as talk to him about the role, was invaluable. He gave me some great insight into what it was like playing the character, which allowed us to capture the essence of RoboCop. As a bonus, he gave me a crash course in Italian Renaissance art while he was in the studio being scanned. You may not know this but Dr. Weller has a Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance Art History and Roman History.

Sektor and Cyrax each make appearances throughout the Mortal Kombat 11 story, but have yet to materialize as fully realized playable fighters. They were last seen in the composite form of Triborg, who was released as part of Mortal Kombat X's Kombat Pack 2.
