It has been a while since we got an animated Mortal Kombat; the last animated Mortal Kombat is the cartoon series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. Announced today in a trailer, the hit video game series will be getting a rated-R animated movie called Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge. According to IGN, the movie will be released on spring 2020 on blu-ray and DVD and it was inspired by 2011’s Mortal Kombat video game; the 2011 video game focuses on the original three Mortal Kombat video games from the 90s.
Here is the synopsis:
“Based on the worldwide hit game created by Ed Boon & John Tobias, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge spotlights the once-in-a-generation tournament between the champions of Outworld and Earthrealm – a competition that will ultimately determine the fate of Earth and all its citizens.
