Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios are proudly celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Mortal Kombat, the billion-dollar franchise that has sold more than 79 million videogame units since the original arcade game launch on Oct. 8, 1992. Over the past 30 years, the renowned Mortal Kombat series has been a fixture in popular culture, exciting fans with best-in-class gameplay, iconic characters, and an immersive cinematic experience, while also earning numerous accolades, including multiple wins at the D.I.C.E. Awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, The Game Awards, and many others. The latest entry in the videogame series, Mortal Kombat 11, has been the fastest selling title in franchise history with more than 15 million units sold worldwide, while Mortal Kombat Mobile has amassed more than 150 million downloads to date.

To honor 30 years of Mortal Kombat history, a new video has been released showcasing the franchise's cultural prominence across three decades of entertainment, from videogames, to movies, to animation. Bringing together moments from the original Mortal Kombat game (1992) to Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (2020) and the first live action Mortal Kombat film (1995) to the reimagined Mortal Kombat movie (2021), the commemorative video spans 30 years of bone-crushing content, along with a visual spotlight of legendary Mortal Kombat fighters and their different iterations from past to present, such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Jackson "Jax" Briggs, Baraka, and Shang Tsung. Furthermore, new artwork celebrating the Mortal Kombat 30th Anniversary was unveiled today highlighting some of the game modes, story moments, characters, and finishing moves from the game's history, all depicted in the shape of the iconic dragon logo. The Mortal Kombat 30th Anniversary video and artwork can be found on MortalKombat.com, which has been redesigned and updated for this momentous occasion.




As part of the anniversary, Klassic Movie Raiden will arrive in Mortal Kombat Mobile beginning Oct. 7 through Oct. 11, featuring actor Christopher Lambert's character likeness and voice from the 1995 film. Players can also log in every day from Oct. 7-14 to collect free anniversary gifts and enjoy a host of new in-game content. Additionally, Mortal Kombat (2021 film), Mortal Kombat (1995 film), Mortal Kombat: Legacy (2013 web series), and Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms (2021 animated film) are available to watch now on HBO Max, while Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm (1996 animated series) is available now for purchase on digital platforms.

"This video is age restricted on youtube"

Anyone else has an alternate link that doesn't require your personal info?
 
Yeah that's about right.. I started playing when I was 14, and now I am 44 o_O
 
Thanks Swede.....................for reminding me how old I am................I still remember playing this on the snes.
 
Would have preferred a remaster collection of all the games, but whatever.

Use Newpipe or some other 3rd party app to view it without logging in.

Still remember playing these on Nes clone along with Contra, Super Mario, adcenture island and other games. Might even have old cartriges lying around somewhere in house.
 
Flawless Victory!
 
Trilogy is on GoG though and it works great.

My parents bought me this back in 1992.

Loved it.

MKII was prob my favourite.
 
It's been 30 years already? Bloody hell, I'm getting old. :(
 
No remaster of the PS2-era titles?
I still have the originals, but would be neat to play online again and PSN doesn't actually work on a PS2.
 
F**k Warner Brothers, thanks to them we can't have a No One Lives Forever remaster.

Isn't that more of Nintendo's responsibility with their tricky licensing?
You don't have remasters of MK64 either.

Played it on i386 and arcades first! Ah, seeing an older guy performing a fatality was the best feeling for a week back then... where did we go wrong?

Aren't we all?

So 30th anniversary and they don’t release MK 12
Honestly, I can live without another DLC-fest.
 
WB, and NetherRealm , ednoob has killed the MK series. What is this nonsense, so instead of them releasing HD versions/remaster versions of the classic Mk games, they show a lame ass video of video shots from the past and mostly MK11 screenshots haha. The last great MK game IMO was MK 4/ MK gold. Just my views, but thank goodness for Mugen community for keeping the classic games going.
