Mortal Kombat: Legacy returning for second season

Mortal Kombat: Legacy returning for second season

Mortal Kombat: Legacy is returning for a second season. The popular web series began as a short film, but was rolled into a series to accompany the release of last year's Mortal Kombat series reboot.

"It's going to be about the actual Mortal Kombat tournament this time," said Kevin Tancharoen in the announcement trailer. "A lot of people were expressing their opinions on wanting to see more fighting, more action, more visual effects, so we really took that to heart."

Mortal Kombat Vita preview

When I first saw Mortal Kombat's Vita-exclusive touch-screen mini-games, I scoffed. "The touch-screen features seem entirely tacked-on," I said.

Well, having gotten my hands on the Vita version of Mortal Kombat, I have to admit I was wrong. While the gameplay of these experiences is nowhere as deep as the core game, they have enough campy Mortal Kombat personality that it's hard not to laugh while playing.

Mortal Kombat Vita's uncomfortable new challenges detailed

The upcoming PS Vita version of Mortal Kombat will be the most complete version of the game yet, with all the DLC included and additional exclusive content being thrown in for good measure. For example, the Vita version includes 15 additional costumes, including "MK3-styled garb for the ninjas." There's also a brand new Challenge Tower II, which adds 150 new challenges to the game.

This sounds good and dandy, but some of the touch-screen features seem entirely tacked-on.

Mortal Kombat is coming to the PlayStation Vita, and if the box art is any indication, it will be based off the "Komplete Edition" of the game, which includes every DLC character out of the box.

NetherRealm Studios is promising new features "exclusively" for the Vita version, but teases that they will be revealed "in the coming months."

Mortal Kombat 'Komplete Edition' rated

Kan Warner Bros kontinue mispelling more words for Moral Kombat re-releases? The answer seems to be "yes." Britain's BBFC recently rated the "Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition," an updated version of the latest Mortal Kombat game on PS3 and Xbox 360. While the rating doesn't offer any insight into what the package will offer, it seems pretty easy to figure out.

As with other "Game of the Year" and "Director's Cut" re-releases, we're going to guess that this is a retail re-release of Mortal Kombat, with all the DLC included.
