Mortal Kombat (30 Years)
Big Video Game Anniversaries in 2022
Mortal Kombat celebrates its 30th anniversary this year as the first game in the franchise released in October 1992 as an arcade game. The series is home to what many consider to be some of the greatest fighting games of all time and is one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time, sparking a huge franchise with over 20 games, several movies, and a forever-lasting legacy.
The original game was also a center of controversy at the time due to its depiction of violence and gore, which contributed to the formation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
Mortal Kombat 11, the most recent entry in the series, released a few years ago in 2019. Though there hasn’t been any word quite yet, we wonder if something could be in the works for the 30th anniversary.
