On October 8, 2022, it will be exactly 30 years since the Mortal Kombat license was launched, since the famous fighting game was born on October 8, 1992 in arcades before later arriving on consoles. In figures, these 30 years represent 79 million copies sold and more than 1 billion dollars generated in total, knowing that it is Mortal Kombat 11 which has sold the most with more than 15 million copies sold throughout the world. Mortal Kombat is by far the most popular and profitable fighting game of its kind, and it’s not going to stop. While waiting for the announcement of Mortal Kombat 12, the NetherRealm studio and Warner Bros Games pay tribute to the license, by sharing a special video that traces this exceptional anniversary, from video games to cinema, with the series’ iconic characters such as Scorpion , Sub-Zero, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Jackson “Jax” Briggs, Baraka and Shang Tsung.
Also, for this 30th anniversary of Mortal Kombat, the official MortalKombat.com website takes on a special look, and bonuses have been provided for certain games. For example, we learn that Klassic Movie Raiden will be available in Mortal Kombat Mobile from October 7 to 11, taking on the appearance and voice of actor Christopher Lambert from the 1995 film. Players can also log in every day from October 7 to October 14 to win gifts and enjoy new in-game content.
