Have you ever wondered where kombatants get their wonderful toys? AWE.me series Man At Arms: Reforged has investigated the real work that goes into making Kitana's killer kombat fans.

Early in 2014, student film maker Anthony Pellino showed us the first images from his short college film: Mortal Kombat: The Chosen One. Three semesters on, the 12 minute short is complete and ready for viewing:

If you've ever wondered why Mortal Kombat was banned in Australia a couple of years ago, the following video may just explain it. RackaRacka have clearly taken their Mortal Kombat X fandom to new levels, demonstrating exactly what happens when Aussies play. Explicit Content Warning: The following clip contains scenes of extreme graphic violence, gore, and coarse language. Not suitable for viewers under the age of 15.

Fan campaigns and petitions have become a staple of social media fandom throughout the promotional life of Mortal Kombat X. For every omitted character and potential crossover - there is likely one or more attempts to support it to reality.

Not all petitions are created equal, but occasionally a sound idea and swell of interest breaks out from the ever growing pack. Nearing 4,000 e-signatures at the time of this writing - the message behind We Want An MK Lore Encyclopedia has been heard loud and clear!

The petition has been tirelessly circulated by fan Myke Snow. Among the most prominent supporters of an MK Encyclopaedia is Shawn Kittelsen. As writer of DC Comics' Mortal Kombat X series, he's helped usher Mortal Kombat in its return to print, and spent much time digging into character history, whilst navigating the pitfalls of unreliable online sources. Many NetherRealm Studios staff have also shown enthusiasm and support, including MKX Producer Andrew Stein, and Cinematic Director Dominic Cianciolo!

Chances are you know John Vogel best as one of the stalwarts of the Mortal Kombat design team. As a developer, he's helped steer the course of Kombat through multiple generations, including his well remembered role as writer for 2002's Deadly Alliance and sequel Deception.

As of April; your pal and mine has turned his impeccable skills as writer and artist to the world of webcomics with Skitter!

If you're expecting demonic warlords and deadly fists of kung-fu -- stow those expectations in the nearest pigeon hole! Skitter is "what bugs do when humans are near" and tells the madcap tales of spider Jack and his insect pals. Expect punch lines, not punches.

Playing away can be difficult at the best of times, but for Persepolis F.C. of the Asian Champions League - the Al Hilal home crowd reception was especially icey!

Fellow Warner owned game developer Rocksteady Studios has joined celebrations for the blockbuster launch of Mortal Kombat X! NetherRealm Studios literally took the cake -- accepting a deliciously fatal offering from their London based counterparts.

The official launch of Mortal Kombat X has brought fans together in celebration for the new game! Joining the festivities Is concept artist Justin Murray, who shared two pieces of Mileena production art to mark the occasion!

The world has been united in battle as the official street date for Mortal Kombat X finally arrives! Midnight openings and launch events have seen gamers flood in droves to get their hands on the latest installment of the hit series. There were giveaways, live streams and tournaments - but we think the #MKXLondon launch event takes honors for going further than any one else. Put simply: Life-size Sub-Zero Ice Sculpture!
