There was a lot of great Mortal Kombat news this weekend, in addition to that we had to manage a server move to increase the reliability of our site for the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat (2011). We had updated fans via our Twitter and Facebook Pages, but figured the front page deserved an update as well.
Mortal Kombat Demo
Tomorrow, the Mortal Kombat (2011) demo will be released for PlayStation Plus members. Usually the PlayStation Store updates in the afternoons on Tuesdays. So keep an eye out for the demo starting around 2pm Central Time. The PlayStation blog has a great article on the demo where they even have been covering questions in the comments. According to the demo there is a great "teaser" video that showcases some of the cool things to expect in the full version of the game. We've updated the Mortal Kombat (2011) Game Page with the characters and some of the moves from the Truck Tour reports, and will finalize the list once we get the demo in-hand on Tuesday.
Mortal Kombat Truck Tour Begins
On Thursday the Mortal Kombat Truck Tour kicked off in Los Angeles. Gamers who showed up got their hands on the demo version of the game early along with the ability to play competitively against other fans. Also of special note T-Shirts are being handed out to those who can show their pre-order receipts, so be sure to bring that with.
We got sent more truck event pictures by WB/Netherrealm as well as from our friend Dan Amrich aka One Of Swords which are below.

GDC Coverage Recap
This weekend NetherRealm studios brought Mortal Kombat (2011) to GDC to show to select media outlets who were at the show. While their thoughts on the game are embargoed until later this week, a few sites posted interviews. The most interesting was GameSpot posted a great video of Ed Boon detailing the game's new modes which we embedded below.
Like every game before it, the achievements for Mortal Kombat (2011) has leaked before release of the game over at Xbox 360 Achievements. The non-secret achievements are fairly spoiler-free, and look to be quite reasonable as well. If you want to see the spoiler-filled secret achievement descriptions then head over to my post in the forum for all the juicy details.
I really need to stop coming here, because every-time I watch one of these videos the 10th of April gets farther and farther away! I'm am so excited about the practice fatalities mode! AGH! Will this wait never end?
Picture 5 is upside down when I click on the thumbnail. I cannot see the enlarged version of the last picture; l get a 404 error.
Aside from that, I can hardly wait to for the game to be released.
