First footage from Mortal Kombat 2 has appeared online

MK fans got a chance to take a look at the sequel to the cult fighting game — the first official footage from the film has appeared online. Despite the mixed reaction to the first part of 2021, interest in the sequel remains high, and the new images confirm that viewers can expect a larger-scale spectacle.

The footage published by Entertainment Weekly shows the key characters: Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban, Kitana played by Adeline Rudolph, Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Shao Kahn (Martin Ford), whose image turned out to be especially dark and impressive.

One of the main innovations of the sequel will be the Mortal Kombat tournament itself, which was never shown in the first part. The creators found a way to emphasize its importance by adding a visual scoring system for victories, which should increase the tension during battles.

It also became known that Johnny Cage will be presented in a slightly different image. According to the plot, he appears before the audience as an aging Hollywood actor forced to adapt to the harsh reality of a deadly tournament.

In addition, in honor of the release of the film, special skins inspired by its characters will appear in Mortal Kombat 1.

The premiere of Mortal Kombat 2 is scheduled for October 25.
