As we saw with the announcement of the newest game - Mortal Kombat is a global phenomenon! Delivering the series to the world takes a lot of work, and musician Pitty has taken fans behind the scenes of the localization process for Mortal Kombat X. Assista e descubra:

Pitty is a Brazilian rock singer bringing the voice of Cassie Cage to life for the Brazilian Portuguese dub. Pitty speaks glowingly of the trash talking combatant and the strength of the female fighters.

Even more enticing are dialogue references to "Uncle" Jax and Cassie's mother Sonya Blade. Speculation for both klassic characters' inclusion has been running hot since the Mortal Kombat X: Next trailer offered some tantalizing visual clues. Cassie's dialogue seems to suggest story mode scenes that put the fighters in peril. One translation: "Are you okay, Uncle Jax?"

Digital readers of the Mortal Kombat X comic book will have been within their rights to have many questions regarding details glanced since Chapter One. Designed to tell the story between Mortal Kombat (2011) to the April 14 release - many key points have remained unelaborated upon, left to vague references.

MK Online Kommunity User Shadaloo has shared a recap page found in print versions of Mortal Kombat X #2, which details some of the missing the pieces. The following transcript contains SPOILERS. Read on at your own risk.

Even after defeating the evil Shao Kahn, humanity was not safe.

A fallen Elder God named Shinnok rose to lead the undead armies of Netherrealm against us in a war that nearly destroyed Earthrealm. Nearly.

Against all odds, Raiden and his champions prevailed. Shinnok was imprisoned and his undead army was driven back to Netherrealm - except for a fortunate few, miraculously restored to life, and granted the opportunity to set things right...

Previously in Mortal Kombat X:

Given a second chance at life, Hanzo Hasashi aka "Scorpion" reformed the Shirai Ryu clan and took in Takeda, son of the swordsman Kenshi, as his latest apprentice. But after a demon posessed one of Hanzo's students via an ancient dagger and massacred the rest of his clan, Scorpion vowed to finish the being who had originally given him the dagger - Raiden!

Meanwhile...

After Emperor Shao Kahn's death, his sole heir Mileena claimed the throne of Outworld. As the war between Earthrealm and Netherrealm threatened to spread to Outworld, Empress Mileena refused to coordinate a defense effort, ignoring the pleas of her War Chief, Kotal. Finally, after a great battle, Mileena was overthrown. Those who sided with the would-be Empress became enemies of the new Emperor, now calling himself Kotal Kahn.

And thus the Outworld Civil War began...

Cast list:

Hanzo Hasashi AKA Scorpion: Grandmaster of the Shirai Ryu. Former Netherrealm agent.
Kenshi: Special Forces agent. Absentee father.
Raiden: God of Thunder. Protector of Earthrealm.
Sonya Blade: Commander of Earthrealm Strategic Defense.
Jacqui Briggs; Daughter of Jackson "Jax" Briggs.
Cassie Cage: Daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.
Erron Black: A mysterious mercenary living in Outworld.
D'Vorah: First minister to Kotal Kahn.
Kotal Kahn: Emperor of Outworld. Osh-Tekk warrior.

It remains unknown if details of the Netherrealm war -- an apparent reference to the plot originally told in Mortal Kombat 4 (prior to the 2011 reboot) -- will be featured in Mortal Kombat X's story mode.

After last issue’s shocking conclusion, Sub-Zero reflects on the path that brought him face-to-face with Scorpion. Meanwhile, Reptile, Kotal Kahn and D’Vorah must stand their ground against the onslaught of King Gorbak and his Shokan army! The game will be available April 14, 2015.

The issue reportedly builds off a showdown between klassic mascot rivals Scorpion & Sub-Zero - while also continuing the Outworld war between Kotal Kahn and his merry band of misfits, and Mileena's army of Shokan allies! Team Kotal consists of D'Vorah, Reptile & Ferra/Torr -- all apparent survivors of conquered realms. No signs of the mysterious Erron Black.

The influence of King Gorbak -- father of Goro -- doesn't sound like good news for the prince, either, but fret not! As trailers for the pre-order bonus character have told us - Goro Lives! The comic provides backstory for the video game, coming April 14th [read more].

The Seattle Seahawks may have come up short earlier in February at Super Bowl XLIX, but controversial cornerback Richard Sherman found personal victory with the birth of his first child, last week.

Born February 5th to mother Ashley Moss, the child of a football star wouldn't ordinarily be big MK news -- but ESPN report the baby's name is Rayden!

Not surprisingly, the news has many outlets speculating a Mortal Kombat connection. Better known as Raiden in the original games - the thunder god appeared frequently in multimedia with the modified "Rayden" moniker, including movies, television, and even ported versions of the games.

Sherman wouldn't be the first to draw inspiration from the popular fighting game series! MK Online staffer paid loose homage to Jax when naming his son, Jackson.

Congratulations to the new parents! Watch Sherman's teammate Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch enter the Mortal Kombat arena to take on Patriots' Rob Gronkowski in Conan's Clueless Gamer!
