McFarlane Toys has big plans for their official Mortal Kombat 11 action figure line in 2021! Along with several exciting additions coming early next year, the toymaker has revealed two of its major releases for Summer: Kabal and Noob Saibot! Take a look:

Kabal leaps straight out of the game with his latest design recreated in exquisite detail. From the grey of his flesh, to his trademark life support mask and hookswords -- the rarely merchandised Black Dragon fighter is well represented by the McFarlane sculptors!

Fans of the less frequently featured characters will also be excited to see Bi-Han get the articulated action figure treatment! Noob Saibot is similarly faithfully recreated from MK11, wielding a jagged scythe in dramatic preview photographs released via the McFarlane Toys Gaming Facebook!

The cult favourite fighters join a line-up that already expanded with the likes of Kitana & Baraka earlier this year retailing $19.99. What do you think of Kabal & Noob? Who do you hope to see next? Share your thoughts in the comments below and talk toys in the Media & Merchandise forum!

When Mortal Kombat is finally released in 2021 it will receive a simultaneous premier in theaters and streaming! HBO Max announced the radical shift in business for Warner Bros movies with a slate of blockbuster releases coming to the big screen and premium streaming platform. Watch the trailer:

The impact of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc with theatrical plans for major studios. With the conscientious viability of public indoor gatherings in doubt, Warner Bros relented last month, announcing streaming plans for their long-delayed tentpole Wonder Woman 1984.

Mortal Kombat producer Todd Garner speculated about indefinite delays for the reboot, originally scheduled for a theatrical release January 2021. Delays in reshoots will likely make that date impossible, but Mortal Kombat Online speculated about a possible HBO Max release.

The announcement hasn't supplied a new premier date, but did feature an updated Mortal Kombat title and dragon logo [pictured below]. The stylized gold design is much more in keeping with the iconic brand, skewing closer than a logo used while shooting.

The importance of streaming was evident in a recent corporate shuffle of WarnerMedia. You can subscribe now to HBO Max to start streaming Warner Bros content. International regions may need to explore local carriers for HBO Max releases.

The Mortal Kombat reboot is directed by newcomer Simon McQuoid with high-profile producer James Wan. You can find and discuss more details from the movie reboot in the Media & Merchandise forum!

Back in April Mortal Kombat 3 marked the 25th anniversary of its original arcade release, but you can hardly tell any time has passed at all in a new photo shared by Kerri Ann Hoskins! The klassic digitized actress donned her original Sonya Blade costume to mark the milestone. Take a look:

The MK3 actress turned artist defied fans to make comparisons with an Instagram post recreating one of Sonya's klassic fatalities. She thanks original series co-creators Ed Boon and John Tobias, as well as photographer Thomas Daggett, and others, for making this blast from the past possible.

A fixture of multiple releases from Midway Games; Kerri Ann can also be seen participating in the retrospective documentary Insert Coin: The Midway Chronicles. The feature is available now to stream with details in the link.

Attempts to recreate the digitized gaming experience were abandoned by Warner Bros a decade ago, with one developer speculating a clash with the 2011 reboot was to blame. Ed Boon recently expressed skepticism about the durability of the concept.

The legacy of the original arcade trilogy continues to endure in merchandise and klassic recreations in the new games. Sonya Blade has come a long way since MK3, now a General in the Special Forces, she plays a major role in Mortal Kombat 11 having aged 25 years in Mortal Kombat X. As Kerri Hoskins shows, there's no reason to doubt how much fight is still in Sonya!

If you've played enough of Mortal Kombat 11's perpetually updating modes you may've noticed a meteor streaking across the Towers of Time menu. The astral phenomenon has been a subject of speculation for quite some time -- and finally its secrets have been unlocked! Read on for more:

Efforts to solve the mystery of the rarely seen meteor were redoubled when NetherRealm designer Aaron Davis confirmed there was still an undiscovered secret in the game. Based on description this isn't his mid-match mystery, but it will allow you to summon a Hidden Event tower to unlock random Kombat League skins and other rewards!

The discovery was made by prolific data-miner thethiny, who shared his method in a YouTube tutorial [embedded below]. According to his discovery: the meteor will appear every 2 hours at 10 minutes past the hour, subject to time zone.

When it does: you simply input left, up, left, right, left, up, up to unlock the hidden tower.

Eagle-eyed fans corrected thethiny's secret code input, noting that the directional inputs mirror one of Mortal Kombat's most famous codes: the Sega Genesis Blood Mode unlock of ABACABB.

Special thanks to MK Online user Surgir_Da_Sepultura for sharing this item on the forums. Have you successfully summoned the tower? Tell us what you've unlocked in the comments below and join the Mortal Kombat 11 kommunity for more news & discussion!
