Mortal Kombat 11 may have concluded its run of add-on content, but that hasn't stopped it becoming one of the biggest installments in the long running franchise! Warner Brothers Games issued a press release to celebrate a major sales milestone and thank fans for their continued support. Read on for details:

According to the WB Games announcement: the game has now sold more than 12 million units worldwide since its release in April, 2019. This has contributed to a total 73 million video game units for the entire life of the legendary series, and brought MK11 close to surpassing Mortal Kombat X as the series' highest selling chapter!

In addition to the recent console success, Mortal Kombat Mobile has reached a staggering 138 million installs on phones and mobile devices. The free-to-play app has become an industry unto its own, continuing a highly profitable model that offers new playable characters such as the recent addition of MK11's Fire God Liu Kang and MK11 Ultimate's Rain.

Series co-creator and NetherRealm Studios Creative DIrector Ed Boon offered his appreciation for die hards like the MK Online kommunity, quoted as saying: "We have some of the most passionate fans in the world and we appreciate the support they have shown us over the years." He also tweeted about the announcement, adding "[W]e wanted to send a massive THANK YOU to all the support Mortal Kombat fans have given us over the years. It means EVERYTHING to us."

Mortal Kombat 11 drastically extended its lifespan with the release of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath last May, introducing klassic playable characters and adding to the time bending storyline with an entirely new five chapter story mode. It was brought onto a new generation of console hardware in November with the release of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, which also offered Kombat Pack 2 and the final inclusion of three characters.

NetherRealm Studios have confirmed production on an unannounced new game, but kombat will continue as soon as next month when animated adaptation Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is released to blu-ray and streaming.

It's been a little over two and a half years since Mortal Kombat 11 was first announced with a trailer during The Game Awards. Now NetherRealm Studios has said goodbye to the hugely successful sequel, formally announcing an end to downloadable content support. Read on for details:

The announcement came via the official Mortal Kombat Twitter account, dashing the hopes of a fourth wave of additional downloadable characters, while also sparking widespread speculation about a sequel to the 2017 DC Comics fighting game: Injustice 2.

NetherRealm is now focusing on its next project and after more than two years of supporting Mortal Kombat 11, DLC for the game, including characters, has come to an end.

— Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (@MortalKombat) July 2, 2021

Mortal Kombat 11 proved to be the complete package: a polished production from the outset that dramatically increased content with the sale of 13 additional characters, including pre-order bonus Shao Kahn, and an expansion of the already robust Story Mode feature with Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath -- a first for the series!

The late 2020 release of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate contended with several firsts of its own, bringing the game to next generation hardware on PlayStation 5 with cross-generation support, while much of the world was still in lockdown in the grip of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the first indications NetherRealm Studios was moving on came with their return to work early this year, and motion capture for "the next show". The developer's announcement has seemingly confirmed it will be for material found in their next release. The studio has also continued to fill significant job positions, undeterred by a rumored sale, corporate maneuverings, and the establishment of new parent company, Warner Bros Discovery.

Exactly what's coming next remains to be seen. Creative Director Ed Boon inadvertently created soeculation for a Marvel versus DC crossover game with innocuous tweets about the respective movie studios, while a poll about remastered titles more deliberately started Shaolin Monks trending just last month. An international ratings listing for a klassic remaster called "Mortal Kombat Kollection Online" emerged in 2020, but has yet to yield any results.

If the first official trailer for the upcoming animated sequel Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms didn't seem bloody enough for you -- you're in luck! There'll be no waiting for the red band trailer this time! Warner Bros Entertainment has unleashed the alternate trailer showing more action and additional scenes. Take a look if you don't mind spoilers:

The trailer immediately distinguishes itself with a street scene showing Tarkatan warriors violently attacking a man and woman carrying a baby through the city. It can be inferred the infant is Liu Kang (Jordan Rodrigues), rescued from the Outworld killers in a last minute attack by Raiden (David B. Mitchell).

The red band trailer then sets the scene with various contextual clips shown in the first trailer, punctuated with a flurry of special moves, violence, and bloody scenes with X-ray attacks reminiscent of those seen in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.

Meat is on the menu as Netherrealm demons and Outworld Tarkatans are carved and ripped apart by the likes of Scorpion (Patrick Seitz) and Kitana (Grey Griffin). Jax (Ike Amadi) exercises his new cybernetic arms against Kintaro, D'Vorah busts balls kicking Johnny Cage (Joel McHale), and Sonya Blade (Jennifer Carpenter) spoils the hopes & dreams of Li Mei fans!

The warriors of Earthrealm and Outworld will do battle in a final tournament to end all tournaments in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, but this time the stakes are much bigger than the two warring sides. This time the battle will decide the fate of all worlds! Watch the first exciting trailer for the upcoming animated feature:

Liu Kang (Jordan Rodrigues) strides into the koliseum to confront Shao Kahn (Fred Tatasciore) in the opening seconds of the trailer. He is the chosen one, a pure soul watched over by the gods since birth, but to obtain victory he'll have to get past Shang Tsung (Artt Butler) and an eclectic assembly of Outworld warriors!

The loose of adaptation of the original plot to Mortal Kombat II looks to be taking plenty of liberties to expand the fighting roster and incorporate more of the cosmic mythology of the franchise's later years. Among Outworld's representatives will be later additions to the series: Reiko (Robin Atkin Downes), Li Mei, and D'Vorah (Debra Wilson). They'll face animated newcomers Kung Lao (Matt Yang King), Stryker (Matthew Mercer).

The animated sequel to last year's Scorpion's Revenge will also continue the saga of the titular ninja spectre. With his destiny altered by the first film, he undertakes a new mission to secure an ancient kamidogu and prevent the coming of One Being. The trailer teases his fight through Hell, the fury of Shinnok, and the coming of Kuai Liang (Bayardo De Murguia)!

The second Sub-Zero can be seen in official hi-res box art and during the trailer, which previews his quest to avenge his fallen brother, and struggles with cybernetically converted clansmen Sektor (Dave B. Mitchell) and Cyrax.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms will officially be released on blu-ray and digital on August 31st!
