Johnny Cage returned with a special midnight screening of his latest trailer, but if the hardware store look was getting you down - don't worry! He's rocking a slick retro design in new Mortal Kombat 11 render art!
The glasses may be overpriced at $500, but Johnny will certainly avoid the Worst Dressed list with customizable gear inspired by his earliest appearances. Sporty jacket and white highlights on simple black pants recall the Cage of Mortal Kombat II, with reboot era flourishes of the self-promoting belt buckle and regrettable chest tattoo. Update: There's also official art for the utility vest design below:
Customization options in Mortal Kombat 11 will mean players can craft a Johnny Cage that suits their tastes best. Flashy or tactical, the choice will be yours: "you're next!" Time bending plotlines may see the Special Forces consultant meet his earlier moviestar self when MK11 is released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC starting April 23rd! Who will you be wearing? Join the discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
It's a midnight premier for movie star turned MK champion Johnny Cage! The klassic kombatant makes his official debut in Mortal Kombat 11 thanks to an exclusive reveal by IGN! Watch:
The reveal trailer debuted right on time at IGN.com, with a showreel of moves you cannot fake! Johnny fights fast and furious, moving freely with versions of his klassic shadow kick and projectile that look deadly!
It's some of the little details that really impress! Johnny may've fired his stylist to go for the tactical look, but his stunt double is available for a full nelson double team. His acting chops are still on point with a little mid-fight mime work recalling his infamous Ninja Mime movie, but he's also branched out to use flash photography to stun his opponents! That teaser shared by Ed Boon comes into focus as well, as Cage uses multiple takes to deliver a jaw dropping triple uppercut fatality that ends with that finger in the perfect action movie slo-mo!
Johnny Cage is back and better than ever before! Which scene was the most memorable from this action packed trailer? Be back to tune-in later today for a Kombat Kast breakdown of Cage, and share your reviews on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
After dedicating a week to MK Mobile; the next Kombat Kast will go deeper into Mortal Kombat 11 with a fighter soon to be revealed in the wee hours of the morning! Update: That fighter is from Venice, California - the one and only Johnny Cage!

The next Mortal Kombat 11 character reveal is mere hours away! IGN have announced an exclusive reveal of the next kombatant at the unusual hour of midnight!
IGN announced the midnight reveal via Twitter, inviting fans to join the site for their exclusive playable fighter preview. There are no clues as to who's getting the late night treatment -- just an invitation to speculate with the Mortal Kombat X tagline "Who's Next?" Update: Host Tyler Lansdown has noted NetherRealm will showcase the same fighter in greater detail later in the day during Kombat Kast #4.
With roughly 7 hours to go until the clock strikes 12:00am PT, we'll be counting the minutes! Could time have some significance to the mystery fighter? Will it be a midnight screening for a certain MK action star? Join the speculation on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum and be with us to discuss the latest addition!
It's been a while since grand pubah Ed Boon has gotten down and dirty in teaser territory, but the drought seems to be over with his most recent tweet. A partial Mortal Kombat 11 screenshot shows a mystery fighter giving the finger, with what appears to be a crack creeping across the fourth wall of the screen. It's not a lot to go on, but all signs seem to point toward the highly anticipated return of Johnny Cage. Read on:
The irreverent hand gesture has all the hallmarks of the ballbusting action star who debuted in the first Mortal kombat. This could be a glimpse into one of his cinematic Krushing Blow moves, or simpla win pose. Boon's tweet comes with the added quote, "Who hired this guy....WTF?"
There's been no specific indication of Johnny Cage joining the MK11 playable cast just yet, but we think we've already spotted him in two official trailers. He was loitering in the background of a Special Forces interior arena in the first gameplay reveal trailer. He can also be spotted tying up with Sub-Zero on a monitor shown twice during the MK11 Evolution featurette. Both examples depict Cage in a subdued vest and long sleeve shirt similar to that seen in Boon's screenshot [see below].
With the likes of Sonya Blade and Kano already announced - can Johnny Cage be far behind? Join the speculation and tell us what you hope to see on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
With its rebranding Mortal Kombat Mobile announced three characters crossing over from the main Mortal Kombat 11 playable lineup. Episode three of the developer Kombat Kast was the magic number, revealing the third mystery fighter to be Jade!

With MK11 versions of Scorpion and Raiden already announced -- could Sub-Zero be far away? The iconic Lin Kuei skull crusher has a new look, gameplay and Fatality in MK11.

As if the teasers left anything to doubt, McFarlane Toys have previewed their upcoming Mortal Kombat 11 action figures at the New York Toy Fair.
Unfortunately, there was nothing plastic to be seen in the modest McFarlane Mortal Kombat display. Pre-rendered images of Scorpion and Sub-Zero promote the future toyline, confirming suspicions that the series will lead with frequently featured franchise mascots. Toyark have extensive photos from the event, icluding mock packaging for Scorpion.
Presumptions shouldn't be made about the complete character roster, or future of the action figure series, but some information can be gleaned from the event. These toys will be 7 inches, with Toyark reporting the line will have similar articulation to Fortnite toys. That means roughly 22 points of articulation.
Hong Kong manufacturer Storm Collectibles was also in New York, showcasing their offerings from the klassic Mortal Kombat roster. McFarlane Toys will retail much more affordably than the exotic imports. Fortnite 7" toys sell for $24.99.
Which MK11 characters do you hope to see join the McFarlane lineup? Share your action figures wishlist and join the discussion on the Media & Merchandise forum. Find out who's eligible by collecting info in the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
New York's Toy Fair is the place to be for the latest in collectible merchandse and Storm Collectibles have shown they've still got some klassic Mortal Kombat offerings up their sleeve!
Toyark was in NYC to take extensive photos from the Storm display, where 1:12 scale figures of Baraka, Cyrax and a netted Smoke are joined by classic fighting game characters from Street Fighter and King of Fighters. Behind the MK offerings can also be seen Injustice versions of Darkseid, Bane and Lobo.
The MKII and MK3 characters are faithfully rendered, with Cyrax demonstrating his cyber assassin net and open chest cavity in Smoke's general direction. Baraka strikes an impressive pose, brandishing his deadly blades with a sculpt that captures the original design -- right down to the deeply shadowed eyes created by the digitized mask!
Do these toys live-up to the klassic reputation of their source? Share your thoughts & feedback in the Media & Merchandise forum, or jump back to Mortal Kombat's arcade past in the 2D Kombat Klassics forum!
In World Wrestling Entertainment the only air support comes from the top rope, but that didn't stop Ronda Rousey bringing a touch of Mortal Kombat 11 to tonight's Elimination Chamber event! The Raw Women's Champion defended the title dressed as the character she voices in the upcoming game: Sonya Blade!
WWE released the above image via Twitter as the action unfolded live in Houston. It shows Rousey making her entrance on the stage, wearing a cap and two-tone fighting gear fans will recognize as inspired by Sonya's MK11 customizable attire [pictured below], and her 2011 vested design.
Rousey was a much anticipated guest at last month's live The Reveal event, where the former UFC and Olympic champion took to the stage as the new voice of Sonya Blade. She also discussed her history as a fan in the Sonya Blade Reveal Trailer.
The promotional partnership was mentioned during Elimination Commentary commentary -- not the first time the two brands have crossed over! Johnny Cage crashed NetherRealm Studios' mobile game WWE Immortals in 2015. Ten years earlier, WWE was promoting Shaolin Monks!
Mortal Kombat 11 will be the first installment in the series since 2007's Armageddon to feature on a Nintendo home console, but details of the Switch release have been scarce, with some outlets indicating delays. The latest Nintendo Direct update appears to address domestic concerns, promoting a standard release via Nintendo of America. Watch:
Mortal Kombat 11 features at the 30 mins 1 sec mark, promoted with a small, bloodless clip advertising the game's release for April 23rd. That's consistent with official dates provided by Warner Bros, and widely advertised for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Across the pond the story isn't so positive, with online retailers Amazon UK and GAME still listing the Switch version for a delayed release of May 10th. MK Online user SlickRick82 first called attention to the impending delay, posting to the forums late last year: "I work for GAME in the uk and can confirm the Switch version will launch 2 weeks later on May 10th."
Around the world, release dates remain inconsistent. Amazon Spain mirrors the British May 10th date, while Amazon Germany is listing availability for all versions starting April 19th. Australian retailers, including Amazon and JB Hifi, offer no release date at this time.
MK Online will continue to follow this story as it develops. International fans are encouraged to seek further information from local retailers when purchasing or pre-ordering the game. If you've got new information, enlighten the kommunity by posting to the Mortal Kombat 11 forum! Special thanks to User UltimateRyu for posting about this story!
After disappearing almost entirely into obscurity in the last game: Jade makes a deadly return in Mortal Kombat 11, stepping back into the spotlight in the latest character reveal gameplay trailer! Watch:
She may be a revenant, but death hasn't dulled her deadly set of moves! Jade plays with a klassic sensibility, bringing back an array of her best known moves from her earliest playable appearance. Her extendable bo staff features heavily in her style, but you'll also be able to run through projectiles, deliver her version of a shadow kick, and reclaim the glaive for a variety of deadly projectiles and stabbing moves! It all comes together for another visceral fatality!
Were you surprised to see Jade back dominating the living? Is she everything you hoped for? Share your review of her gameplay comeback and join the discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
She was nowhere to be seen during NetherRealm's incursion of Earthrealm, but the revenant Jade is finally accounted for in the newest character reveal render from Mortal Kombat 11!
Jade fell victim to Sindel during the Mortal Kombat reboot story mode, but when Quan Chi's undead revenant army attacked in Mortal Kombat X, Jade was curiously absent! Her glaive weapon passed to a mournful Kitana, but still the question of her fate remained.
At last Jade gets the full revenant treatment, revealing cracked, ashen skin beneath a newly designed assassin's garb in her trademark green. This newly featured design answers some questions, while raising many others -- but it won't be her only look in MK11! Time bending plot and a rich customization system means Jade will live again when Mortal Kombat 11 hits the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 23rd!
What do you think of Jade's new design and what does it mean for her mysterious journey? Share your feedback and join the discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
The next big Kombat Kast developer stream is almost upon us, and it's the perfect counter-programming for even the most love-filled St Valentine's Day! An unnamed female Mortal Kombat 11 fighter will be revealed -- and you can watch & react right here as it happens! Read on:
We still don't know where the green-clad assassin was while she was Mourned during Mortal Kombat X, but as a returning revenant she either never ceased to exist, or has since been restored by Kitana, who was last seen taking control of the Netherrealm. Her old friend & bodyguard would certainly be a logical chocie if the Empress needs an enforcer!
Customization means Jade won't remain dead forever. Even if the time bending story doesn't revisit her living past, players will be able to kit her out in masked and unmasked designs that show her alive and well. An interesting green & brown design debuted during hte stream in hooded and unhooded versions [screenshots below].
Efforts have been made to infuse her moveset with some personality, combining "sass" with elements of the dancer's grace she showed in Mortal Kombat (2011). The presentation of some moves includes teleportation that otherwise serves no function. Why she teleports freely is conceptually unclear, but it will be expedient in animations, and visually interesting.
The bo staff and specials will offer Jade command over her space, with simple attacks dominating mid and mid-high range zones. Her version fo the shadow kick is fast and dangerous, combining well with aerial glaive projectiles, and simple combo chains. Combos won't play to Jade's strengths, which is one of the ways opponents will be able to seize opportunities. Breaking through Jade's control of zones will put the war of attrition in favour of better comboing characters. Get in low and fast and the potential to punish Jade will open.
The similarities to Jade's klassic UMK3 era attacks won't end at presentation of special attacks, with frustrating AI set to make a comeback as seen in the gameplay trailer. Fans who miss MK3's run feature will also want to explore Jade's ability to rush opponents.
Jade doesn't have to get her hands dirty to be an effective assassin. The stream noted she once sprayed Tanya with a jar of Tarkatan essence, leading a Tarkatan horde to tear her apart. This is likely a reference to her Deception ending, where the hypothetical outcome was displayed. It remains to be seen if this is just an isolated example of Jade's skill, or if Kronika's time bending plot will reintroduce past possibilities through the altered timeline. MK Online tends to suspect the former.
This stream also literally and figuratively showed off more of Baraka! New customizable designs expose the berzerker more than ever, but don't think his moves have been pared down! His spark projectile has been cranked up to be faster and more deadly, and his rapid stabs can be enhanced for maximum effect! He also fights with a new war banner, which, once planted, offers a damage buff, and alternate weapon he can use to sweep, stab, and strike. The banner has a short window, but if used to stab, he'll replant the flag to start over. The flag can also be grabbed for an armor boost and charging assault! Get in the way - it's your own fault!
Original: Last week's delayed stream saw the unveiling of Kabal, while on the Inside Xbox stream fans were treated to a taste of surprise returning MKX fighter: D'Vorah! Don't think she's the mysterious woman soon to be revealed, though! Kombat Kast host Tyler Lansdown shot that theory down on Twitter, shortly after the first episode.
Popular speculation has many fans expecting Kitana to enter play, but the only way to know for sure is to tune in to the Twitch stream at 3:00 PM CST (1PM PST)! Watch in the embedded stream above and join the pre-game speculation & live discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
They've set a standard for high-quality action figure merchandise -- and now McFarlane Toys are teasing their next big license: Mortal Kombat! A blood spattered social media post only has two words to note, but they tell us everything we need to know:
The teaser was posted to the McFarlane Toys Gaming page, where the toymaker already caters to fans of Fortnite, Borderlands, Cuphead, and more. It follows recent news of a partnership with fellow Warner Brothers brand, DC Comics, which will see a line of 6-12 inch action figures coming in 2020. Another, more oblique teaser image was posted to McFarlane Toys Gaming late last week, possibly alluding to the spear weapon used by Scorpion.
It isn't the first time prolific founder Todd McFarlane has discussed business with a NetherRealm Studios property. In 2015 he revealed a licensing agreement with Warner Bros that allowed his comic book creation Spawn to be used in Mortal Kombat X for a limited time. He has since expressed the belief that Spawn will soon feature as a guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 11. This is as yet unverified.

After an initial taste of things to come; third-party data collector SteamDB has updated with a massive list of new Mortal Kombat 11 achievements that appear to point to several new and returning characters. Beware of potential spoilers ahead:
Trophies for performing two different fatalities with characters have been the most intriguing source of speculative information, exposing three letter source codes for various fighters. The latest SteamDB update appears to account for missing, confirmed inclusions: Scorpion (SCO), Kano (KAN), D'Vorah (DVO), and Kabal (KAB), while also adding several new names alongside the previously reported "ERR".
"LIU" and "KUN" suggest Liu Kang and Kung Lao, already glimpsed in a previous trailer, but could also allude to Shaolin archer Kung Jin, [as only Liu Kang appeared in gameplay]. "CAS" and "JAC" seem to point to Mortal Kombat X's most prominent second-generation fighters: Cassie Cage and Jacqui Briggs. "KOT" also appears to promise Kotal Kahn, who ruled Outworld as Emperor during MKX, and is set up for the perfect playable grudge match via pre-order exclusive Shao Kahn!
"JAD" and "FRO" point speculation in the direction of much requested returning cult favourites Jade and Frost. Less obvious are code names "CET", "TER" and "KOL", possibly indicating new characters. Long time fans will know characters sometimes undergo name changes during the development process, but coding will retain earlier reference. MKX code divers revealed Erron Black's files were labaled NOMAD. With playable newcomer Geras unaccounted for in the list, one of these may reflect an earlier working name for the time wielding powerhouse.
The database update also uncovers other interesting tidbits, such as achievements for collecting 200 pieces of gear, completing 200 towers, speaing 50 hanging bodies in the krypt, and performing Mercy 10 times -- an addition from Mortal Kombat 3. Something referring to D'Vorah's bug(s), or a bug state, is also ripe for speculation. Check out the updated list below:

SteamDB accesses database updates via SteamKit, and given how openly the information can be released, it's surprising to see so much data in the wild. Whether released by accident, or as deliberate misdirection, all information should be taken as inconclusive and speculative, at this time. Fans who remember the Mortal Kombat X Achievement List will also note that this list is likely incomplete, 28 trophies short of Mortal Kombat X.
What twists and turns will official information present? Which fighters will make the cut? Join the discussion and share your feedback on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
Third party service SteamDB has begun tabulating API data for Mortal Kombat 11, revealing achievements for standard task-based activities, including actions for Basic Tutorial and The Krypt, as well as the first implied reference to would-be returning character: Erron Black!
The offending achievement only includes coded reference to "ERR", which some fans may speculate could obliquely reference Ermac, whose name derives from "Error Macro". Given the other achievements clearly refer to the first letters in the names of confirmed fighters Sub-Zero, Sonya, Skarlet, Raiden, and Baraka -- the best bet seems to be fan-favourite gunslinger: Erron Black. The full published list is as follows:
TROPHY_ID_SPILL_10000_PINTS_OF_BLOOD
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_100_BRUTALITIES
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_25_BRUTALITIES

Hopes for the fighters who debuted in Mortal Kombat X improved earlier this week with the surprise reveal of D'Vorah! Developers have stressed, despite its time bending premise, Mortal Kombat 11 will pick up immediately after the events of MKX
The rest of the exposed achievements reference the usual types of feats, similar to those leaked a month prior to the release of Mortal Kombat X. Rewards are on offer for: completing the tutorial, spilling blood, performing fatalities, and ducking like a maniac. Running five miles in The Krypt likely references a cumulative tally similar to blood spilled, but may inspire interesting speculation about what will be in store.

The long awaited return of the Kombat Kast brought the expected reveal of Kabal for Mortal Kombat 11. The developer stream was delayed by a polar vortex lashing Chicago -- so it only makes sense the Kabal Gameplay Reveal trailer put the hurt on Sub-Zero! Watch:
Kabal is back in the hands of players after sitting out MKX as an NPC revenant, bringing a deep dish dose of dashing klassic kombat! He may look a little different, but he has his opponents all in a whirl with klassic freehit spins and brutal emphasis on those trademarked hookswords! That fatality needs to be seen to be believed! Even the inexplicable Ground Saw is back from MK3, as shiny and sharp as ever!
Kabal was one half of a live double character reveal. D'Vorah was also announced with official art during the return of the Inside Xbox stream. Take a closer look at both in official character render art. Share your feedback on this and more on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!
Two big Mortal Kombat 11 streams bring two big character reveals! D'Vorah and Kabal return with new designs in MK11 thansk to Inside Xbox and the Kombat Kast. Take a closer look at the skin they're in with official character art:
The treacherous Kytinn warrior, D'Vorah, returns from Mortal Kombat X, giving us a clear taste for the present in a game already loaded with fan-favourite klassics! Mortal Kombat 11 takes place after the events of MKX, but time will be bent so the future meets its past, raising questions about the nature of D'Vorah's distinct new apperance. Looking even more insect-like than before, is this a vision of D'Vorah's future -- or past?
When last we saw Kabal he was a revenant NPC fighting on behalf of the Netherrealm. With a sharp new mask design, and his trademark hookswords, it seems MK11 is serving up a throwback to Kabal's days as a Black Dragon enforcer. Considering the youthful look of Kano in last week's reveal, we can probably expect some kind of interesting interactions!
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.
In a livestream from Combo Infinito, one of the official partners of WB Games and NetherRealm in Brazil, at an event called the Konvocação (loose translation: Konvocation) Kano was revealed! As usual, NetherRealm Studios posted the official render to their various social media accounts:
In addition, a Brazilian regional exclusive skin depicting Kano as a pirate was also announced. This render was shown as well:
The confirmed roster for MK11 continues to expand! What do you think of Kano's design? Share your thoughts right here on the MK11 forum, as well as our Facebook, Twitter, and Discord!
