Ed Boon Teases Potential Horror Icons For ‘Mortal Kombat 1’ DLC?

Published

on

Ed Boon is gonna Ed Boon, it seems. The Mortal Kombat 1 Creative Director is once again teasing fans with potential guest DLC Kombatants for the recently-released fighter. And once again, he’s poking horror fans with those guest characters.

Boon took to X with another cryptic tweet, showing an image of famous horror icons. The image features Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Chucky, Michael Myers, Ghostface, and Billy the Puppet from Saw. Jason, Freddy and Leatherface have checkmarks over their faces (given their past inclusion in Mortal Kombat games), while the other characters sport question marks.

As expected, fans are going nuts over the possibilities. Others have chimed in with suggesting Bruce Campbell‘s Ash as a potential character, seeing as that rumour never quite went away for Mortal Kombat 11 until Campbell himself sadly squashed it. And having Ash in Call of Duty doesn’t quite feel right.

Then again, this could all be Ed Boon having another moment where he’s messing with fans. It’s October, after all.

Meanwhile, the characters for Mortal Kombat 1‘s  Kombat Pack DLC have already been revealed, which includes Quan Chi, Ermac and Takeda, Peacemaker, Omni-Man and Homelander. It’s not clear when the first of these characters will be arriving for Mortal Kombat 1, though Homelander is expected to be available to play as in Spring 2024.

Mortal Kombat 1 is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Endless Mode Available Now in New Update for ‘Life Eater’

Published

on

Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!

The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.

“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”

For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.

You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
