Mortal Kombat made its debut in 1992.

Mortal Kombat, the iconic video game franchise, made its debut 30 years ago. The Midway Games’ violently brutal video game was released on October 8th, 1992. It made Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, and Johnny Cage household names. In addition, it spawned a dozen video sequels, movies, and animated series.

In 1995 it debuted its first live-action movie. A follow-up, Annilhation, came out in 1997, and that was the last live-action feature film until 2021. The Rated-R reboot hit HBO Max with lackluster reviews. Before the reboot, a web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy, was released in 2013 with two seasons. It gave fans a faithful live-action adaptation. In recent years, two animated Rated-R films were released, Scorpion’s Revenge, Battle of the Realms, and Snow Blind. Below, co-creator Ed Boon looks back on the creation and legacy of the franchise.
The Mortal Kombat team said the following about the historic 30 years:
