?Fans are in for a real treat with the second season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy,? said Tancharoen. ?With added visual effects and storylines that dive deeper into our warriors as they make their way to the tournament, we?re taking this series to a whole new level. I?m really looking forward to showing fans the first clip during the Streamy Awards on February 17. ?

Mortal Kombat was first released on October 8, 1992. Since then it has become known as one of the darkest fighting games on the market. Famed for its mortal competition, fatalities and dark sense of humor, the game has been released on all major consoles, as well as arcade machines. The original development team, now known as NetherRealm Studios, led by creative director Ed Boon, continues to develop the game and build upon the existing success and rich story it has created to date.

The latest chapter of ?Mortal Kombat? was released in 2011 by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, marking a triumphant return to the series? roots in the fastest and most brutal installment to date. The game returned to a mature presentation and reinvented its classic 2D fighting mechanic in addition to adding new gameplay features including tag team, a deeper story mode, and nostalgic arcade battle online and offline. Selling more than three million units worldwide, the reinvention of the franchise became the highest-selling fighting game of the year and won numerous ?Best Fighting Game? awards, including Spike TV?s 2011 Video Game Awards, 2012 Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Interactive Achievement Awards, and recognition from Game Informer, Official Xbox Magazine and GameTrailers.com.
