Violence has always played an important role in Mortal Kombat games, and this is once again the case in Mortal Kombat 1. There's a ridiculous amount of blood and gore packed into the game, most of which can be found by triggering the game's finishers. There are 108 Mortal Kombat 1 finishers in total, with each of the 35 playable kombatants having access to two Fatalities and one Animality, plus three special Seasonal Fatalities.

A new Mortal Kombat game is exciting enough, but the franchise as a whole has really been in the spotlight recently.

Mortal Kombat 2 (the movie) also hits theaters this weekend, which is a good thing for gamers who have been craving more from the franchise. As far as video games go, there is one big problem with a Mortal Kombat 1 sequel, though. Developer NetherRealm Studios is going to have to figure out another title, because Mortal Kombat 2 already exists.

Mortal Kombat 1 reached 8 million copies sold last month, and the Mortal Kombat 2 movie that has now hit theaters is once again expanding the franchise beyond video games. A follow-up to Mortal Kombat 1 felt inevitable, and now that it's officially happening, it might have to make some NetherRealm fans accept a hard truth: Injustice 3 doesn't look like it's anywhere in sight, and it may stay that way for a while. Anything is possible, but another entry in the DC Comics fighting series feels a little less likely now.
