Megan Fox Lends Her Likeness and Voice to Nitara as the Latest Fighter for ‘Mortal Kombat 1′ [Trailer]

After getting Dave Bautista on board for that feel good trailer, Warner Bros and NetherRealm have announced another surprise for Mortal Kombat 1, with Megan Fox lending her voice and likeness to Nitara, the newest playable character announced for the upcoming fighting game.

Initially debuting in 2002’s Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, the vampiric Nitara hails from the dark and desolate realm of Vaeternus. Nitara fights to protect her race of vampires and utilizes her ferocious claws, razor-sharp fangs, and aerial abilities to take on any opponent in her path.

“As I’ve been doing the [voice recording] sessions, it does force me to tap into an area of myself that I’m not comfortable,” explains Fox. “I’ve had a lot of fun doing it, and it’s caused me to be more free with myself.”

Megan Fox (who grew up playing the original Mortal Kombat) is already no stranger to dabbling in video games, having more recently been part of Blizzard’s promotion of Diablo IV where she delivered eulogies for fallen warriors.

“I think it’s just an opportunity that anybody would want, because we did all grow up playing the [original] game, and it is one of the greatest video games of all time.”

Mortal Kombat 1 arrives on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

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.
