NetherRealm Studios has marked the successful launch of another Mortal Kombat with a bold new addition to the Chicago headquarters! Not to be outdone by the London Sub-Zero ice sculpture - the animation team posed with their new life-sized Scorpion statue!

LOOK KIDS! IT'S STEVE BERAN!!!

The monument bears striking resemblance to the European Kollector's Edition Scorpion statue, bringing to life the new design featured on every MKX box! Long one of Mortal Kombat's most popular and iconic characters; Scorpion became the official mascot for the developer when it relaunched as NetherRealm Studios in 2010.
