Amazon Games is gearing up for a major live streaming event ahead of the release of Mortal Kombat X! The "all access stream event" begins broadcast April 4th, for a marathon 1PM-6PM PST five hour spectacular!
With Mortal Kombat X absent from this year's San Diego Comic Con, many fans have queried us about which event would bring the next big reveal. You asked - Creaitve Director Ed Boon has answered:
It was with noted disappointment that we learned in February Mortal Kombat (2011) would miss out on a fourth consecutive year at the Evo World Championships. Fortunately, the June reveal of sequel Mortal Kombat X has provided a shot of adrenaline into the flagging scene: inspiring a grass roots campaign that will gather some of the world's top players for a special side tournament at the Las Vegas major!
If it isn't already: Chicago's Galloping Ghost Arcade is on the fast track to becoming a mecca to Mortal Kombat fans!
Its proximity to the traditional base of operations for today's NetherRealm Studios makes it a natural home away from home for the klassic fighting series. GGA boasts a comprehensive working collection of now klassic Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets. Go there on the right day, and you might even come across some of the klassic faces who made them happen!
Last weekend (June 28), the arcade hosted Shang Tsung's Fight Night IV -- a live event that brought together a rogues gallery reunion of actors who appeared in the original digitized games!
The event was open to the public for a marathon 11AM to 2AM session at only the standard admission charge! It was a historic gathering for the cast -- some of whom didn't even appear together in the same game(s)! Continuity wouldn't get in the way of fans taking the opportunity to get autographs, photographs and a rare opportunity to mingle with the fighting game icons!
The 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo is officially upon us! The annual gaming expo begins with the roll out of live press conferences today (June 9), before the floor opens to one of the world's biggest preview and demonstration conventions in the world Tuesday (June 10-12)!
Announced June 2nd with a brutal reveal trailer: Mortal Kombat X has already adorned the streets and convention centre with giant size banners featuring Scorpion and the Who's Next? tagline. MKX will be on the floor for the full three days, being covered by the world's major enthusiast press!

Several responses on Twitter by WB representatives confirm as much.
