Few video game series have the same kind of cultural cache as Mortal Kombat. In the ‘90s, and all the way until now, the sound of “Fatality” can be heard across arcades and homes around the world, as gamers finish off their opponents with a winning move. Not only has the series endured the decades until now, but it fundamentally changed how video games were perceived with its brand of hyperviolence.
From its humble beginnings to mainstream success, the prolific franchise certainly has a rich history to explore. The development team at Digital Eclipse is finally hoping to tell the definitive story of Mortal Kombat’s creation, and even includes how iconic elements like the Fatality came around.
