This year's E3 was dominated by developments in the newly revealed Mortal Kombat X! Though the Expo may be over, the highlights continue! Back safe from the trip to LA, long running Mortal Kombat fan-site TRMK has posted an interview conducted with NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon -- and it contains some compelling new details!
Mortal Kombat X was one of the star attractions of this year's E3 and we've been treated to some terrific coverage because of it! Gamespot got more than their pound of flesh with a live Day 3 stage demo, interview with John Edwards and these complete match videos that show off the E3 build!
If you can't get enough of Mortal Kombat X at E3 - you're in luck! Series co-creator and MKX Creative Director Ed Boon revealed his ability to simulcast himself across two separate "live" streams -- appearing on Twitch.TV and IGN back-to-back!

Mortal Kombat X has invaded E3 and its done it with three all new playable characters leading the charge! You saw them introduced during the Sony Press Conference, and learned more during a PlayStation Live Cast demo hosted by Ed Boon! Now scrutinize them in great detail in the first official screenshots:
If Day 1 of E3 left us with questions, Day 2 was all about answers! Sony's Press Conference gave us the first Mortal Kombat X gameplay trailer and introduced three mystery characters [full story]. Those characters were finally given names during Ed Boon's appearance on the PlayStation Live Cast:
It has begun! Mortal Kombat X was finally revealed in an updating frenzy that kicked off a massive Mortal Monday! If you haven't seen it by now, you're going to want to check out the MKX launch trailer before we continue!
The 1 minute 57 second clip is all CG fury, featuring no actual gameplay, but littered with allusions to past and present playstyles that we're very interested in!

From the Palace Gates of Shang Tsung's Island, to the invaded streets of metropolitan Earthrealm: The more things have changed, the more they've stayed the same!

June 2nd will reveal the long awaited next instalment of Mortal Kombat! As the month of May winds to a close, we have been asked a simple question in promotional anticipation: Who's Next?
We asked a very similar question this time last year! In 2013, it was Smoke who emerged from the months of debate and thousands of votes as a controversial victor!

True champions must defend their title, and we must ask the question eternal: Who is the Supreme Mortal Kombat Champion?
The ultimate fan voting tournament has become an annual tradition on Mortal Kombat Online - summoning the entire fanbase to agree on a single champion from sixty-four fighters!

Read on to learn more about what it all means and how you can join in!

Launched in 2011; the stylized pixelated sandbox gives you a world of sky, water and earth to do with as you please. Its success has taken it to home consoles and driven an empire of paid alternatives, but the principle remains the same. Check out some of our favourites Minecraft Kombatants below:
