One of the few things I was looking forward to people finding.
Original mk4 would crash if you were playing Meat when you beat the game.
Now Meat is all of the canon.

Wanted to make sure that there's a way for people to play if there were concerns about playing the game on streams depending on your brand.
If tournaments want to preserve a pg-13 tone, we will have that option available to you in the games that allow you to disable blood in games that allow it.

Blood has been an option in MK since the arcade original; operators could flip a dipswitch to enable/disable the red stuff based on their location's needs.
We are retaining those options across all platforms for #MKLK. It's all part of the preservation, so blood or no blood remains your call!

I wasn't expecting to be able to announce this early, but it kind of got outed in this interview (at around the 41 minute mark). 🙂

There's something really exciting/thrilling about putting out wavenet to the world...
Like bringing Bigfoot out on stage and being a little bit nervous about people's reactions to seeing the fable in the flesh.

I really love when modern video game collections/compilations have been including the bad games in their franchise. Because bad games deserve preservation too and can be interesting oddities to check out. In closing, I’m now very interested in the Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection.
