The first developer stream of the Mortal Kombat 11 cycle has been postponed due to extreme inclement weather. CBS Chicago forecasts the lowest temperatures to hit the windy city since 1985, with wind chill taking temperatures down to -50° in some areas! NetherRealm Studios issued a statement to Twitter, citing worker safety as they delay the stream for an additional week.
The safety of our team is very important to us. Due to the dangerous incoming storm, we’ve decided to move the Kombat Kast to Tuesday, February 5th, at 3 pm CST. We thank you for your understanding!
The Kombat Kast livestream is now scheduled to return Tuesday, February 5th at 3:00pm CST. That's the same day Inside Xbox will premier with new Mortal Kombat 11 info, as well.
Viewers who tuned in to the full Los Angeles presentation from The Reveal are widely anticipating the Kombat Kast's return, with an on-stage teaser pointing strongly towards the unveiling of cult returning character: Kabal! A reminiscent figure dashed unannounced across screens, captured in the tantalizing still below.
The hideously disfigured Black Dragon fighter was last seen as a revenant during the Mortal Kombat X story mode, but hasn't been playable since the prior installment. A timebending plot will see the original trilogy fold over with the present timeline as depicted in Mortal Kombat 11, allowing different eras of the same character to collide!
Mortal Kombat 11 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in just a few months - April 23rd! Join the discussion, share your wishlist, and follow news on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

And that’s just the start! We’ve got reveals and new info to share on Mortal Kombat 11, The Division 2, Sea of Thieves, Astroneer, Journey to the Savage Planet, Jump Force, Metro Exodus, and of course, Xbox Game Pass and bunch of news under lock and key so be sure to tune in on Tuesday, February 5.

Since 1969, the animated adventures of great dane Scooby-Doo, and his mystery-solving pals, have entertained generations around the world. The cartoon has evolved in more recent times, spawning live-action spin-offs, and crossovers with everything from WWE to Twin Peaks. Even at its most supernatural and subversive, the show has always remained pretty kid-friendly -- so it's only natural fans have flocked to petition for Scooby's beatnik buddy, Shaggy, to join the cast of Mortal Kombat 11!
Know Your Meme attributes "Ultra Instinct Shaggy" to a 2017 YouTube video that mashed up an uncharacteristic fight scene from direct to video feature Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur, with the soundtrack of Dragon Ball Super. The anime-fusion has attracted over 6 million hits and has gone on to find popularity in fan-art and Dragon Ball video game mods!
With all that in mind, it's a little less surprising that the unlikely request has attracted a staggering 190, 200 digital signatures to an online petition at the time of this writing! A big enough number to warrant an explanation for some of the more perplexed fans we've heard from, if not any genuine expectation of a result.
Given the graphic hyper-violence of Mortal Kombat, it seems highly unlikely this petition will go beyond a joke. However, Scooby and the gang do have a long history of meeting characters like Batman & Robin, crossing over frequently with DC Comics in the pages of Scooby-Doo Team-Up. NetherRealm hosted the sometimes kid-friendy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Injustice 2, and you never know if Shaggy might follow suit in a future sequel!
Todd McFarlane says he thinks Spawn will be a downloadable guest in MK11. Join the discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum to share your weirdest guest character hopes, and debate who should be considered the Scrappy-Doo of MK!
