Realism in gaming has reached a whole new level, as video game deaths aren’t just walking into a small chasm and popping up from the checkpoint again, unharmed. From Call of Duty to Mortal Kombat death isn’t pretty in there. It can be gut-wrenching and may lead anyone to say, ‘That was cruel’.
But that’s what makes those games worthwhile, though not for children under a certain age. Some of the kills may even cause players to induce mercy, even though they have developed hatred towards a character. Such are some gruesome video game deaths as found on X/Twitter via user NikTekofficial, listed below.

We've caught a few glimpses of Homelander in action in previous trailers for Mortal Kombat 1, but Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios has now debuted a new teaser revealing the first gameplay for upcoming downloadable content (Dlc), and it unveils The Boys character's hilariously gruesome Fatalities.
The trailer features the leader of The Seven squaring off against several classic Mk characters, as he unleashes his formidable superpowers to gain a victory before "finishing" them off in spectacularly gory fashion.
Homelander's peculiar fetish for drinking... a certain type of milk also carries over from the Prime Video series!
"Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet and the leader of The Seven, the elite superhero team owned and managed by Vought International," reads the official character breakdown. "In a world where “Supes” are made, he’s the strongest of them all. Homelander presents himself as the ultimate patriot and protector,...

A fighting game kind of needs to have a storyline for the sake of identity. Not just for the characters, but for the world itself. Who are these characters and why are they fighting? Why are they fighting again? And again?
Usually, these lead to fun B-movie plots that can carry a game or two. Sometimes the sequels just retread the same plot over and over (ie. the Soul Calibur games and King of Fighters), but Mortal Kombat has been able to hold its own for over 30 years due to embracing its own wacky mythology and finding ways to be fresh. Even when they’re literally redoing an earlier story!
There’s a reason why the Mortal Kombat story has been told in different forms. There have been 11 fighting games plus upgrades that are part of its canon and a few side games. As video games have advanced, so has the storytelling.

The release of Mortal Kombat 1 is just around the corner, and it was confirmed today that Megan Fox has lent her voice to Nitara. The vampire comes from the realm of Vaeternus and joins the fight to protect her race. You can check out a gruesome gameplay video of Nitara in action below, which also features Megan Fox talking about joining the Mortal Kombat franchise.
“She comes from this weird realm, she is a type of vampire creature,” Megan Fox said in the video. “She’s evil but she’s also good. She’s trying to save her people. I really like her. She’s a vampire which obviously resonates for whatever reason. It’s cool to be in the game, you know? Because I’m not really just voicing it, it’ll be like she’s kind of me.“

As the trailer description says, a weekend of Kombat is on the horizon. Mortal Kombat 1 will be having its Pre-Order Beta this weekend, which will run from August 18 through August 21 on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Beta codes are now available to download on those respective platforms.
The Beta is open to anyone who has pre-ordered the Mortal Kombat 1 Standard, Premium, or Kollector’s Edition for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series. Those who got in on the Online Stress Test will not automatically be granted access to the Pre-Order Beta, so make sure you’ve got your pre-order locked in.

Producer James Wan revealed last night on Ig that filming is officially underway on Mortal Kombat 2, which has Simon McQuoid returning to the director’s seat from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater (“The Exorcist,” “Moon Knight”).
Martyn Ford (“The Sandman”), Desmond Chiam (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”), Ana Thu Nguyen (Suka) and Damon Herriman (House of Wax, The Nightingale) signed on a few weeks ago to play Shao Kahn, Edenian King Jerrod, Queen Sindel, and Netherrealm demon Quan Chi respectively.
It’s interesting to note that Herriman previously voiced the role of Kabal in the 2021 film.
Newcomers to the sequel also include Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Tati Gabrielle as Jade and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.
Plot details remain scarce for the sequel, though the new cast additions continue to signal a bigger, bloodier affair packed with fatalities.

Fighting game fans are eating well right now. We are weeks away from Street Fighter VI being released. Tekken 8 is coming out sometime soon. King of Fighters Xv and Guilty Gear Strive are still cranking out Dlc. We even have new installments of Fatal Fury and Under Night on the horizon. Adding to the pile is the recently released trailer for Mortal Kombat 12, which is coming out on September 19!
Of course, the thing of it is that the game is actually called Mortal Kombat 1. They hinted as much with the teaser trailers, one of which included the hand on a clock skipping the 12 and going straight to the 1. So what does this confusing choice even mean? I mean, it was bad enough when the ninth game was called “Mortal Kombat.” Now they have to throw this at us?
Then again, fans of Mortal Kombat 11 knew this was in the cards...
