Dataminers Find Additional Content For ‘Mortal Kombat 11’ Involving 1995 Film’s Cast
Dataminers have been busy with Mortal Kombat 11 once again, fueling speculation that we could be seeing more DLC in the future. Best of all, from the leaks, it appears that some of that content might involve the 1995 movie!
While the video posted to YouTube is now gone, a Reddit user managed to snag a portion of the video that shows Raiden, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage delivering their own lines of pre-match banter. After each line, the opponent repeats the same exact banter, though the voices belong to members of the cast of 1995’s Mortal Kombat. Bridgette Wilson-Sampras is back as Sonya Blade, Linden Ashby is doing Johnny Cage, and yes, Christopher Lambert reprises his role as Raiden.
Of course, the main question is if this content will be released. NetherRealm hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with plans for additional MK11 content after this year’s Mortal Kombat: Aftermath. Then again, when you have the voice cast dropping hints that content might be coming, there’s reason to speculate.
Mortal Kombat 11 is in stores now for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
