Mortal Kombat Featured On Cover Of EGM Summer 2010!

Posted at 06/15/2010 09:26 PM EDT by

Though this week is typically reserved for E3, gaming magazine legend EGM has revealed their cover art for the upcoming Issue #239 and it features the upcoming entry in the Mortal Kombat series as the cover story!

One of Mortal Kombat's poster boys, Sub-Zero, stands menacingly in a classically themed attire as the Mortal Kombat dragon logo rests in the background. Accompanying this is the blood-spattered text Mortal Kombat: Remaking a Legend. This issue of EGM is also cleverly titled "The Komeback Issue". These clues seem to hint that the upcoming game titled simply Mortal Kombat will be a remake or reboot of the series, rather than a continuation of any existing storyline. Though there appears to be no exact release date announced yet, Summer 2010 is listed and we will be keeping a close one on this developing story to bring you news of the game's appearance inside the magazine.

As always, we ask that when this magazine hits the shelves you go and purchase it. MK Online will not provide scans and we do not permit users to post them on our forums due to copyright. The cost of the magazine is $6.99 US/CAN.

Thanks to forum member Mick-Lucifer for word on this story!

Update: June 24: We have learned that the issue featuring Mortal Kombat on the cover will be going on sell officially June 29, 2010. The image featured will be one of two covers apparently, the other will feature the thunder god Raiden. You can visit EGM's online magazine, EGMi, by clicking here. It is free to register and there is a small preview of the Mortal Kombat article.

Beautiful.

I hope the final product (in-game fights, character models, etc) look as dark and serious as that picture. The super boring Sub-Zero in the trailer video didn't look half as awesome as this one.

I also hope we start getting MORE and OTHER characters than Scorpion and Sub-Zero in Magazine Covers and for promotion: I'm rather tired of the ninjas and I'm more interested in seeing Mileena, Johnny Cage, Sektor, and even Nightwolf back on the spot light.

And let's not forget that most classics are returning, so, we should expect some awesome promotional material of Sonya (hopefully as big and sgnificant as it was during MKvsDC) and Raiden and others pretty soon.

I hate how the cool extra pictures (like the newly revealed VS Menu Screenshot featuring Scorpion VS Sub-Zero), concept art, Magazine Covers, promotional posters, etc. always have to feature Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Make an awesome poster for Mileena, Cage, Sektor, Nightwolf and the other main characters that deserve one. I understand these 2 ninjas are trademarks, but so are Raiden and Sonya (who in all fairness were amazingly promoted for the last game). I hope we see more characters in those kind of amazing pictures, and not just the same old predictable ninjas.

PS: Nothing against them, for I actually like Sub-Zero, and I loved Scorpion in the last game.

Speak for yourself buddy! I personally like them very much and many other MK fans like them too. Sub-Zero ans Scorpion are like Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter. Remove those two and MK is not MK anymore. I hate all the newcomers who don't respect the traditions!

Dude, I remember Queve being here when this place was called MK5.org and he's one of the best posters on this site. So yeah, I think he's been around long enough to "respect the traditions." He just wants to see other characters represent the game in promo stuff in addition to Scorpion and Sub Zero. He said "Nothing against them, for I actually like Sub-Zero." Not sure how that's disrespect.

How about actually reading what he says before crying and goose stepping all over the forum?

I'm honestly SHOCKED that EGM has Mortal Kombat on their cover. Of all the magazines that I thought would get a cover story... Not in a million years.

EGM and the MK team had a falling out a long time ago over EGM bashing MK in a preview or something and the MK team basically saying, "screw you, we're not giving you any more info about our games."

I remember this specifically when all of that crap came out about how EGM had some real enemies in the business. Ubisoft, I believe was one of them as well as another company, but I can't remember who that was.

EIther way, to see EGM getting this exclusive is honestly mind-blowing to me. Okay, that's overstating it a bit, but still...

Maybe with Shoe and most likely a lot of the others that were originally involved in the magazine gone, perhaps the hatchet was buried?

Either way, I'll be picking this up for sure. Any clue when this comes out?

Ziff Davis sold it and it was bought back by the original guy, so... Not really all together surprising at all, when you know that.

Huh, I think that somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, I knew that Ziff Davis had sold the trademarks back to the original owner, but thanks for reminding me Mick, I'd obviously forgotten!

I used to love EGM back in the Semrad days but the later years were marked by flat out snobbery and a jaded, often-times sarcastic view towards games, gamers and game culture that just gave the whole thing a very negative vibe to it.

That's just my opinion though. Hopefully Harris and whoever else is working on the magazine now will keep it in the more positive place that it was before the down swing of the later years.

Again, thanks for the heads up!

God DAMN that is beautiful to see. Reminds me of days of old when MK was on the EGM cover every other month.

This game is the fuckin GAME of MK games, IMO.

I hope this is available soon. It'd be the first issue of EGM I felt compelled to buy since the one with the Street Fighter IV screens/interview in 2007.

I'm REALLY looking forward to MK.

Considering the last "true" MK game...I can get on board with that.

For some reason, I get the impression that the subbie depicted on the cover is actually the original. The one that becomes Noob. Looks awfully evil to me. Hmmmmm...

I kinda thought that too! He does look quite menacing in this picture. Personally I hope not..I'd rather have Noob and the younger Subs, but still quite cool.

I take it this is what the renders will be like. Looking good.
