I still remember back in 1992, my dad was living with my paternal grandmother after divorcing my mother and yet, gaming was a constant in both home and manage to see the release of Mortal Kombat on the Super Nintendo (I would have play the original arcade a few years later) and now I am writing of this, 30 years later.

With a personal nostalgia, Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat and head of NetherRealm Studios celebrated the 30th anniversary of the biggest non-Japanese fighting game that changed the industry forever, Mortal Kombat.

Of course the video gives an overview on how it started, how is it going nowadays with the franchise that returned full throttle in the soft reboot of 2011. 

Now, about future announcements, only the novelty was for Mortal Kombat Mobile, which will have the entrances of “Klassic Raiden Movie '' with the likeness of actor Christopher Lambert and his voice (original Mortal Kombat movie of 1995).

Unfortunately, NO Mortal Kombat 11 follow-up was announced but NetherRealm Studios announced that they are pretty much in development if we quote Ed Boon from its Playstation blog’s interview: 

“Well, it finds it celebrating 30 years of being around, being in the public eye. Obviously…we haven’t made the last one. I guess that’s probably the closest I can say without revealing too much. 

The biggest surprise for me is that players have come along and stayed with us for so long. And so the fact that they’ve stuck with us all this time really invigorates us with each iteration of the game.”

Despite announcing that Mortal Kombat 11 ended his campaign and entry of new content after the Ultimate expansion, NetherRealm Studios confirmed that they did it because it was the first step on heading for the next MK game development, but much hasn’t followed-up since then.
