We are proud to announce a new original MK Online video series, “Pop-Up Video” (the title harkens back to the VH1 series of the same name). This series will go through the entire Mortal Kombat 11 Story Mode, with pop-up messages to give additional insight, pieces of trivia, and other information that enhances the viewing of the story mode.
This video is just the first in a new features series, which we hope -- by the time we complete it -- will explore MK11’s story mode in its entirety. This shall include all three endings, as well as the expansion that’s part of the Aftermath pack.
The end is here, but players can forge a new history with Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath. DLC characters take the lead in a new story mode that will send them back in time to prevent the destruction of Kronika's Crown! See what happens when old and new interact in the Launch Trailer! Watch:
The announce trailer set up a basic plot that will see Shang Tsung leading efforts to save reality after Fire God Liu Kang destroyed Kronika's crown at the end of the standard story mode. The launch trailer flips that premise on its head though, ending with Liu Kang exiting a portal to confront the crown-wearing sorcerer!
Shang Tsung won't be the only one wearing the reality warping macguffin. Returning fighter Fujin dons the device during the trailer, which also shows the wind god holding it with ominous dialogue speaking of changes to the timeline.
Familiar scenes from the MK11 story mode will clearly be revisited, with the forces of Kitana & Liu Kang's Netherrealm rallying and Kronika commanding someone to kill each other. It looks as if the fight will come right to the Keeper of Time's door as the battle for the past and future escalates into all out war!
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is almost upon us! Officially released digitally on May 26th, you can pre-order the expansion for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for a recommended $39.99. It gets you 3 new characters, 3 Skin Packs, and a robust 5 chapter story!
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath is set to unleash three downloadable characters and an all new story mode on players. With the new plot comes new and returning locations, which will be available free for all. Take a closer look at one of the beloved klassic arenas making a comeback: The Dead Pool!
NetherRealm Studios released the third arena render via Twitter, having already showcased Kronika's Keep and The Soul Chamber with previous preview images.
Just like The Soul Chamber; the returning Dead Pool has a completely new look for MK11. The modern Dead Pool is a dank and uninviting space cast in shadow, but still bathed in the familiar green glow of a flowing acid lake. Burnt corpses hung from chains remain a decorative standard for the space, with more elaborate architecture and flowing streams of acid running from the ceiling.
Players first sent their opponents to an acid eaten end in Mortal Kombat II and the famous stage fatality will make its return with Aftermath. The gruesome finisher appears in the Aftermath Announce Trailer, with Revenant Liu Kang demonstrating the results in an official hi-res screenshot
Occasionally another stage in the series has let fighters play with acid, but The Dead Pool inevitably returned with increasingly elaborate updates in Mortal Kombat: Deception, the 2011 reboot, and 2005 action-adventure spin-off Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. The update has most in common with 2011's update. You can see it and other klassic versions below.
Additional arenas are one of the free download add-ons coming to all versions of MK11! Which stage are you most looking forward? Share your thoughts in the comments below and dive into the Mortal Kombat 11 forum for more! MK11 Aftermath is officially released digitally starting May 26th, with a disc version slated for exclusive release in the Americas in June.
The fight for the future will take a new twist when Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expands the experience with downloadable characters and plot lines. Guest fighter RoboCop will meet franchise rival Terminator, but who decides is up to you in two new gameplay trailers! Watch:
Terminator and RoboCop set a new standard for sci-fi cinema in the 1980s, fusing futuristic robot tropes with varying degrees of tech noir, sattire, and action. Their massive popularity led to inevitable sequels in the 90s and demanded some kind of meeting.
In 1992, Dark Horse Comics finally satisfied demand by publishing RoboCop versus The Terminator: a four issue mini-series that connected OCP's RoboCop technology with the future development of SkyNet. RoboCop naturally fought to defend humanity from its dark fate, eventually taking the fight to the Nintendo and Sega consoles in a 1993 video game loosely based on the comics. MK11 slyly acknowledges these past encounters in character intros.
With RoboCop's arrival in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath the likenesses of Peter Weller and Arnold Schwarzenegger can finally do battle for cybernetic superiority. Who will win? Choose their destiny in the embedded video above by clicking the respective link to determinate a winner in two different official gameplay trailers!
RoboCop is the future of law enforcement and downloadable guest fighters in MK11. The iconic movie cyborg is one of three characters coming in the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath expansion. Take a closer look in official render art:
The game authentically recreates Rob Botin's original RoboCop design, and will also include the blue-hued revision seen in the 1990 sequel. NetherRealm Studios created a digital capture by scanning original actor Peter Weller, who also provides the genuine voice for RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11. You can see he carries his trademark leg-holstered Auto 9 - a modified Beretta 93R machine pistol.
In addition to the cinematic classics; RoboCop will have dozens of customizable armor pieces as part of Mortal Kombat 11's extensive a la carte design mechanic. This will include an MK3 inspired Cyber Lin Kuei skin, as well as other alternative visions of his head gear, armor, and choice of weapon.
MK 11: Aftermath is coming to digital platforms starting May 26th, with a disc-based release for the Americas currently slated for some time in June. Your move, creep.
