Episode 2 of the Kombat Kast will focus on how Smoke, Ashrah, and Geras play in Mortal Kombat 1, and it's rounding out this week.

Reptile is back along with a handful of returning PS2/Xbox-era kombatants.

Originally debuting in Mortal Kombat 11, Geras is back in MK1.

Here's when and how you can download and play the Mortal Kombat 1 Closed Beta.

Robert Kirkman and Ed Boon confirmed JK Simmons for Omni-Man during a San Diego Comic-Con interview.

Peacemaker, Ermac, Quan Chi, and Takahashi Takeda are also going to be DLC in the first Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 1.

If Liu Kang is taking suggestions on who should be part of his new timeline, the Shacknews staff has a few suggestions.

Smoke and Rain will join Mortal Kombat 1's main roster while Sektor, Cyrax, and Frost look relegated to Kameo Fighters for now.

Leave an online match before it's over and it will still count as a win for your opponent, plus your characters will get dishonorably destroyed.
