Steam Version of ‘Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition’ Removed From Service

Published

So, remember that tidbit that the rights to A Nightmare on Elm Street have reverted back to Wes Craven’s estate? Turns out that not only did this affect the announced (then quickly cancelled) NECA Toony Terrors video game version of Freddy Krueger, but it seems to have now also affected 2011’s Mortal Kombat (specifically, the Komplete Edition), as the game has been removed from Steam.

Mortal Kombat 9 featured Freddy Krueger (albeit his remake version) as a playable fighter. Sadly, with the license no longer being at Warner Bros., that appears to be the reason why the game has now been removed from distribution. Those who already own the game on Steam need not worry, nor do those who already own a copy on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

When you think about it, the Steam version of Mortal Kombat X might not be too far off from being removed, either. While Leatherface and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre license are still with Warner Bros., the Predator and Alien were on loan from Fox. And now Disney owns those licenses. Nothing indicates that MKX will be removed from Steam anytime soon, but you do have to wonder.

Kickstarter Goal Achieved for Video Game Adaptation of ‘Lady Death’ Comic With ‘Lady Death Demonicron’

Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.

With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.

“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”

Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.

In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
