MK11U Wins The DICE Award For Fighting Game Of The Year
by Roy Arkon on Apr 22, 2021 :: 0 The 24th annual DICE Awards from the The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences are in the history books, recognizing various video games in various genres and area for their innovation, creativity and storytelling in such genres and areas. The Mortal Kombat and series has a plethora of awards from that ceremony, as it own the Fighting Game of the Year Awards from this event with Mortal Kombat: Deception (2005), Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) (2012), Mortal Kombat X (2016) and most recently, Mortal Kombat 11 (2020, last year). Injustice 2 also has an award from that ceremony, as it won that same award in 2018.
And now, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, the latest update to MK11. has added another award for the MK series in general and this ceremony in particular, as it won the best Fighting Game of the Year award for 2021. The other nominees this year were Granblue Fantasy Versus, Them's Fightin' Herds, and EA Sports UFC 4 (and yes, they put combat sports games in that category as well).
Kahlief Adams, the judge who gave MK11U the award, couldn't contain the joy of giving such award for his favorite fighting game and shared it on Twitter.
Ed Boon of course came in to thank for the award on behalf of everyone from NetherRealm Studios on Twitter, as well as during the ceremony itself in which he also congratulated all of the other nominees for the award this year.
Congratulations to Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games for winning yet another prestigious award.

Tobias On The Lin Kuei, Johnny Cage & Liu Kang's Origins
by Roy Arkon on Apr 2, 2021 :: 0 A Twitter user asked John Tobias the other day about what book gave him and Ed Boon the inspiration for the Lin Kuei, the clan of Chinese Ninjas in which Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot hail from. Tobias then came with a series of Tweets explaining the process of creating the Lin Kuei and how the book called China's Ninja Connection was the basis for the creation of the Lin Kuei. Here is the first Tweet opening that series:
At the very end of the Tweet series, another user noticed the name Michael Grimm on the images from Tobias' notepad, and he asked who that character. Turns out, according to Tobias, that this was the original planned name for Johnny Cage, and Tobias started another series of Tweets explaining the origins of not only Johnny as a character, but his name as well. Here is the opening Tweet for that series as well:
During that series, Tobias also gave the origins for Liu Knag, who was inspired Gordon Liu and Bruce Lee, who were Tobias' heroes growing up.
Tabmok99 then came in and asked Tobias if he still has the footage of Jean-Claude Van Damme (one of the actors who Boon and Tobias wanted to develop their game around, alongside Steven Segal) of which him and Boon had digitized some footage from a few of his films for the game and put together a quick demo of, is still in somewhere in his possession.
Tobias then made it clear that it wasn't an actual demo but just a demo of the digitizing tech they had at the time. He also confirmed he doesn't have it but Boon might have it.
And finally, Boon came in and said that he might still have that footage.
That will be really cool to see that old demo, as that will be a true piece of gaming history, giving the very origins of Mortal Kombat. And of course, all of those origin story of those characters and clans, is surely nothing short of incredible, and give the perspective of how much work and passion did both Boon and Tobias had for the creation of MK.

Mortal Kombat 2021 Movie Has Been Delayed By One Week
by Roy Arkon on Mar 31, 2021 :: 0According to Deadline, the Mortal Kombat (2021) Movie has been delayed, although not for a long delay, but rather just one week, from 04/16/2021 to 04/23/2021.
The screenwriter of the movie Greg Russo explained on Twitter that this decision has been made in order to give a breathing room for the Godzilla Vs. Kong movie and make sure that the two movies won't be too close to each other.
Ironically enough, the new date will also mark the 2-year anniversary for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, as the game was released on 04/23/2019.
That's not a long delay by any means, and it's completely understandable why this super short delay has been taken place.

Ed Boon Teases Reptile For Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
by Roy Arkon on Mar 24, 2021 :: 0 Over the past couple of weeks, Ed Boon Tweeted some very interesting posts regarding a certain Mortal Kombat character which does appear in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, but only in cameo form in the Krypt, as well as other mentions like Towers of Time konsumables, intro quotes or certain special moves in the case of Shang Tsung. That character in question is of course the green male Ninja, Reptile. So far, Boon teased Reptile in various ways, whatever through a joke on a certain "lack of functionality", images of Kenny 'Unrooolie' O'Brien wearing a Sub-Zero mask from the Mortal Kombat (2021) Movie but with a green shirt on, a picture of the old Mortal Kombat Dragon MK-1 toy boat that includes a Reptile action figure, or just simply asking in trivia fashion what's the color of grass.
We already reported two months ago regarding NetherRealm Studios working on something new and teasing about it. Considering all of this, it appears that Kombat Pack 3 for MK11U is indeed in the works, and Reptile is indeed included as one of it's token characters. We will see if that's the case in the upcoming months, so stay tuned for more news on the matter as they arrive.
