File Photo by Christine Chew/UPI | License Photo July 17 (UPI) -- Karl Urban stars as Johnny Cage, an actor who must compete in a tournament to the death, in the newest trailer for Mortal Kombat II. The clip, released on Thursday, follows Cage as he is recruited by Lord Raiden (Tadanobu Asano) to join Earth's champions in defeating the evil Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford). Cage, as seen in the best-selling Mortal Kombat video game series, is a Hollywood star down on his luck when he gets the chance to help save earth using his legitimate martial arts skills. "Not the face," Cage says as he begins a fight with Baraka (CJ Bloomfield). Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat, also stars Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, Damon Herriman as Quan Chi, Josh Lawson as Kano, Chin Han as Shang Tsung and Ludi Lin as Liu Kang. Simon McQuoid returns to direct. The Mortal Kombat films are inspired by the popular fighting game series that first began in 1992. The latest video game in the series was a reboot released in 2023, titled Mortal Kombat 1.

Devil May Cry and the early Mortal Kombat games join GOG's Preservation Program
GOG's Preservation Program launched in late 2024 and the number of included games has doubled since the initial wave, currently sitting at 183. The latest headline-grabbing additions are the first four mainline Devil May Cry games and Mortal Kombat 1+2+3. Devil May Cry: HD Collection was first released in 2012 and includes the first three entries in Capcom's enduring action series, all playable in 1080p/60fps (a big deal at the time). Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition , which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has also been added. Add to these the Mortal Kombat trilogy and you've got major entries in two of the most influential series in their respective genres guaranteed to be compatible with modern hardware and protected against DRM. The GOG Preservation Program pledges to ensure classic games remain playable beyond the point that their developers stop supporting them, safeguarding them for future generations to discover. As gaming moves even further towards an all-digital future, preservation remains a hot topic in the industry, with major publishers such as Ubisoft making a point of reminding players that they don't technically own the digital games they purchase (see: The Crew 2 players). Until July 2, you'll be able to purchase the newly added Devil May Cry games as a bundle for 67 percent off. Here are the other games also joining GOG's service this month.

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC is officially over as developer teases next project
NetherRealm has confirmed there will be no more DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1 following disappointing sales. Mortal Kombat is still the best-selling fighting game franchise in the world, but the latest entry fell short of its usual sales expectations. The latest game, titled Mortal Kombat 1, was a reboot of the series set in a new timeline, where classic characters like Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Johnny Cage possessed reworked origin stories and aesthetics. While the game itself was mechanically solid, it clearly didn't connect with fans in the same way as its predecessor, Mortal Kombat 11. The latter managed to sell over 15 million copies during its lifetime, whereas Mortal Kombat 1, as of January this year, has sold 5 million. After rumours emerged last year of an early cut to DLC support, developer NetherRealm has confirmed there will be no more extra characters or expansions for Mortal Kombat 1. 'We are hearing players' requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on,' a post on X reads. 'We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.' We are hearing players' requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on. — Mortal Kombat 1 (@MortalKombat) May 23, 2025 The last DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1 was the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, which rolled out in March following last year's Khaos Reigns expansion. Earlier this month, a definitive edition combining all the DLC was released. NetherRealm hasn't announced what its next project actually is, but a dataminer recently suggested the studio is working on the next entry in the Injustice franchise. multiversus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injusticeleaving me without any leaks is yet again another injustice — MultiverSusie (@multiversusie) May 17, 2025 In a post on X earlier this month, dataminer MultiverSusie, who is known for MultiVersus leaks, wrote: 'MultiVersus shutting down is an injustice, then doing it all again is another injustice. Leaving me without any leaks is yet again another Injustice. 3.' More Trending If true, this would be the first entry in the series since 2017's Injustice 2. The series takes place in an alternate reality within the DC Universe, where Superman has become an evil tyrant, and features a roster of fighters ranging from Wonder Woman to Black Adam. Prior to Injustice, NetherRealm developed a DC crossover fighter titled Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, which was released in 2008 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Rumours of a new Injustice game have floated around for years, but the timing might be right for a new instalment to coincide with DC's revamped cinematic universe, which starts with Superman this summer.
