As we begin to think about what's next, we're revisiting the major fatalities that occurred in the Mortal Kombat X Story Mode - and its tie-in comic books! Read on and join the speculation about each kombatant's fate on the forums!

Mortal Kombat is still awaiting a feature film return to theatres, but after speculating late last year, we now know the release of Ready Player One has brought several of its iconic characters back to the big screen!

Rumors of their impending arrival have been swirling for the last few months. Today: Funko have officially confirmed the coming of collectible Mortal Kombat Pop! vinyl figures!

They'll be here just in time for Christmas, with a core roster of five super-deformed figurines based on: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Kitana and Liu Kang! There will also be four store exclusive figures, including Goro! Read on for details:

To be a hero or villain of the DC Universe you've got to be made of pretty tough stuff! All it takes is one super-strong smack from Bizarro, or strategic strike from Batman, and you're going to have a few broken bones. What would that look like? Wonder no more:

Mortal Kombat still has a while to go before it finds its way back to the big screen, but a teaser trailer for 2018 movie Ready Player One may have given fans something to get excited about! Watch the trailer below and see if you can spot which cameo got MK Online staff talking.

Hong Kong toy maker Storm Collectibles blew the doors of San Diego Comic Con this year with a booth display that showcased a complete range of new Mortal Kombat action figures!

The VS Series -- tentatively expected to be available Q3 2017 -- focuses on klassic icons of the arcade era. The four figure line-up namely draws from Mortal Kombat II, with emphasis on palette swaps.

It's easy to be a fan of Pop Culture Shock Collectibles and their high-end wares. With Mortal Kombat X, the statue-maker upped their game, recreating the newest designs with new layers of detail! One of their best was undoubtedly Quan Chi - the 1:4 scale statue released in three flavours!

Pop Culture Shock Collectibles have been making high-end Mortal Kombat statues since 2011, setting the definitive standard for quality MK merchandise during that time.

In recent times we've been conditioned to expect Mortal Kombat to occur every four years. Over the past few terms, the political and military direction of Outworld has been a hugely significant topic with implications engaging all surrounding realms.

So it is that the enduring reign of Emperor Shao Kahn comes to an explosive end! His popular ascension was seen by some as an evolution of a new Outworld - one that would unite its many distinct cultures. He was a savior in the eyes of some, an unfulfilled promise in the eyes of others. His hands were tied as Outworld pushed to defeat Earthrealm in the Mortal Kombat tournament. When he attempted to force a conclusion by sending troops abroad, he only drew further criticism. He was a moderately divisive ruler, but one whose presence will loom large as Outworld moves forward into a new era of intense uncertainty! Mortal Kombat Online is covering the election as you vote for a new Outworld Emperor!
