The fighting genre is about to enter the next generation with games like Tekken 8<\/strong> and Street Fighter 6<\/strong>. One other series, in particular, that’s played a huge part in evolving the scene over the years is the violent and bloody Mortal Kombat<\/a>. It also led to the formation of the ESRB in the US<\/a>, which saw age ratings assigned to video games.<\/p>\n

Now, 30 years later, co-creator Ed Boon and NetherRealm Studios are celebrating the series’ 30th anniversary. Since the original Mortal Kombat made its debut in arcades on October 8th, 1992<\/strong> the series has skyrocketed to become one of the most popular video game franchises of all time. There’s been more than 20 games, multiple movies, and even some spin-offs along the way.<\/p>\n

As part of the celebrations, the team has released a special trailer featuring a number of highlights and thanking fans around the globe for supporting the series over the years.<\/p>\n
