Mortal Kombat is celebrating 30 years of brutality, and while fans had been hoping for a new game announcement – or, perhaps, a compilation of old ones – this montage trailer will have to suffice. To be fair, it’s impressive: it segues between classic retro footage of the old arcade Mortal Kombat games and modern ones, and even layers in scenes from the various films and animated shows.
Obviously, things can get a bit gnarly – it wouldn’t be Mortal Kombat if they didn’t, would it? – but this is well worth a watch if you can stomach the impalements and severed body parts before dinner. What are your fondest memories of Midway’s legendary beat-‘em-up? Finish them in the comments section below.

How about a mind blowing compilation of older titles lol
Haha, yeah it's a shame we've only got a trailer, but it's a REALLY good trailer. I agree, though, a compilation with rollback netcode, crossplay, etc seems like a no-brainer here.
Can' believe it has been 30 years. I remember my brother buying this for Sega Genesis when it came out and seeing a fatality for the first time. I was 5 lol.
geez i feel old this was big in my teens. i used to try and find out all fatalities on the snes. no internet in those days just friends in school we shared the fatalities we knew fun times.
Mortal Kombat Kollection (MK1 to MKA, Shaolin Monks), Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe and Mortal Kombat 9 for PS4 and PS5 tomorrow!
That trailer was really well put together. Makes me want to go out and buy MK11 Ultimate (PS5) as I have yet to play it.
Needs to have the MORTALLL KOMBAAAT song over it. Then.. chef kiss
Its a strange how in the age of remasters and remakes we haven't seen a MK Kollection drop.
Maybe I'm an old fart but I think the last game worth playing over and over again was MK9.
I would love a MK 1, 3, UMK3 , and MK4 remaster. That would so some SERIOUS numbers
I can remember I was explaining the fatality to my little brother but he couldn't believe 😆 and I can remember the 1st one I did was the one that scorpion cuts the person in half in mk2, and then watching my little brother face was hilarious as he couldn't believe what he just saw 😂
I'd love a comprehensive MK 30th Anniversary Collection. The Arcade Collection on PS3 didn't cut it.
@nyXhc420 MK9 definitely was peak MK
Okay so it's the 30th anniversary. Where's our 30th Anniversary compilation? Imagine all the games from at least 1 to 7 in glorious HD remastered versions! You could also have a modern compilation with IX, X and 11!
Come on let's have an MK party! Fatalities for everyone! Wait that didn't sound right.
What an awesome trailer..........and then nothing new is coming....yikes.
Come on at the very least update the classic collection to include an arcade perfect equivalent of MK Trilogy (despite it never having been released in the arcades) and MK4 at the very least, making it playable in current platform.
Happy 30th anniversary MK! Looking forward to the next game.
It's not much, but at least it's more than what Mass Effect fans get for an anniversary.
@Uncharted2007 Get it! My literally favorite game of all time. Tons of content, deep gameplay, just so much fun IMHO.
Flippy neck! Is it really 30 years since I played this in the MetroCentre arcade. Makes me feel old, as does having the dentist tell you that it isn't worth filling your teeth as they are falling apart anyway. Bah.
I remember being wowed by this 30 years ago, almost seems like yesterday. Haven't played a MK game in years but that trailer was a lot of fun. Happy Birthday MK!
@nomither6 yes, it was. The most recent, too, while decent, just felt like more of the same. MK9 was the last one I played religiously.
Any remastered port needs to include that as the 5th game…but I’ll be okay with the first 4.
