The movie will run 80 minutes long and comes from Batman: Assault on Arkham director Ethan Spaulding and Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans writer Jeremy Adams. Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon served as a creative consultant on the film, which serves as a loose adaptation of Mortal Kombat (2011) with the plot revolving around a battle to the death tournament made up of champions from all over.

Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN who remembers when Mortal Kombat 9, Portal 2, SOCOM 4 and Motorstorm Apocalypse came out within days of each other and it was during the PSN shutdown after the hack so nobody could play any of those games online on PS3. What a great time that was.
