Have you completed the Raiden Challenge? The Thunder God electrified portable devices in Mortal Kombat X Mobile - challenging players to obtain the ultimate victory in order to unlock Raiden himself! The challenge ran from May 28 until June 18th.

Unlocking Raiden meant facing five tiers of terror - consisting of 12 battles each, with the exception of the final tier of 15! The first tier was gentle, requiring Bronze kards. Tier 2 opened the fight up to Bronze & Silver tier kards. Tier 4 had a Kard Pack on the line, with players required to equip a Spec Ops kard. Tier 5 needed a Martial Artist kard to complete.

Playing away can be difficult at the best of times, but for Persepolis F.C. of the Asian Champions League - the Al Hilal home crowd reception was especially icey!

Fans of the Al Hilal blue side adopted Sub-Zero as an intimidating mascot visage, creating the kombatant in unison with crowd signs. They took the Mortal Kombat theme to its logical conclusion, flipping the signs to reveal "Finish 'em"! You can see the whole transition in a video posted by the club [above].

This isn't the first time Mortal Kombat and the world game have been on side! Mortal Kombat X recently included a football themed skin for Johnny Cage via the Brazil Skins pack.
