YouTuber Creates DeepFakes of Bruce Campbell and Others in ‘Mortal Kombat 11’
DeepFakes are always improving in their realism (and creepiness). But we’ve never really had many that involve video games. The fact that studios are now able to accurately scan in data to create near-accurate CGI replicas of people is equally scary.
So what am I getting at with all of this? One YouTuber by the name of BabyZone has created DeepFakes in Mortal Kombat 11 of people like Bruce Campbell, Keanu Reeves, The Rock and more using the same software one would use to create a DeepFake. The results are as creepy as they are impressive.
Of course, BabyZone had to do two videos, just to provide us with nightmare fuel (and to give us a reminder of what might have been).
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
