NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat 11 recently celebrated its first anniversary, and the the developers even teased that more content was on the way for the evolving fighting game. Now, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath has been revealed, and it’s the first expansion of its kind for the franchise. In addition to adding three new fighters–including the next guest character RoboCop–it also includes new stages, stage fatalities and friendships, and, unexpectedly, more story content.

Releasing on May 26 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Stadia, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will mark the beginning of year two content for NetherRealm’s fighting game. For the first time in the series, Mortal Kombat will see an expansion to the game’s existing main story, which will bring recurring antagonist Shang Tsung to the forefront. Set immediately after MK11’s conclusion, which saw Liu Kang ascend to Godhood and defeat Kronika, he and Raiden seek to create a new and better timeline for all realms. However, Shang Tsung and his allies Nightwolf and Fujin intervene, revealing a greater threat is at play.

The new epilogue storyline for Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will introduce much of the new content coming to MK11, which includes revisits to classic stages like MK2’s Dead Pool and MK3’s Soul Chamber. In addition, Aftermath will bring back stage fatalities and friendships, which will end grotesque matches on a much lighter note. Friendships have been absent from the series since 1997’s Mortal Kombat Trilogy, so this is the first time in over 20 years that the alternate finishing move has been in a Mortal Kombat game. While these new additions will arrive with Aftermath, the new stages and friendships will be available for all players later as a free update.

Gorn, the violent gladiator VR brawler that launched on PC in 2019 to strong reviews, is coming to PlayStation VR. The wait isn’t long, either–it’ll be available on May 19, and it’ll feature a mode that will turn the gore down.

In Gorn, you handle weapons from a first-person perspective and battle rubbery-looking enemies. You can shoot them, stab them, chop them, and also disarm them or use their own weapons against them.

The launch trailer is below, and more details can be read over at the PlayStation Blog.

Also in this version is a pinata mode, which replaces the blood that usually flows from your opponents with candy–making the game a bit less visceral for folks who don’t like blood.

Another big upcoming PSVR game, Marvel’s Iron Man VR, was recently delayed due to COVID-19.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World actor Chris Pratt will star in a new TV show for Amazon about a Navy SEAL who returns from combat to find a new enemy and more drama on the homefront.

According to Deadline, Amazon announced that it bought a new TV show called The Terminal List, which is based on author Jack Carr’s ongoing series. The TV show will be directed by Antoine Fuqua, who directed the Oscar-winning Denzel Washington movie Training Day.

Pratt will play the character James Reece. On his final deployment in combat, Reece’s entire Navy SEAL team was killed in an ambush. He returns home only to learn that the attack was in fact part of a conspiracy with connections all the way to the top of the government.

Minecraft Dungeons, which releases on May 26 for Xbox One and PC (through Game Pass), as well as Switch and PlayStation 4, has been a long time coming. The game was originally being developed with the 3DS in mind, and now in a new interview the game’s director has revealed that an entirely different gameplay style was initially planned.

Talking to USGamer, Mojang’s Måns Olson has revealed that the game was originally envisioned as a Zelda-style game. “We wanted to bring a new Minecraft experience to players,” he says. “To make something new, you have to step quite far away from the base game.” This meant designing a dungeon crawling experience close to Nintendo’s beloved series in spirit and gameplay.

However, things changed over time, and Olson says that there is “not as much of that” in the final game. While the game was originally planned as a small single-player experience, during the prototyping phase the developers tested out multiplayer, and found that it made the game more fun.

Tetris Effect, Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s stunning take on an old favorite puzzle game, is likely heading to Oculus Quest. Users on Reddit are reporting that the game briefly appeared in the “Coming Soon” section of the device’s store page, and several folks have contacted VR site Upload VR to confirm that they saw it.

While this isn’t absolute confirmation that Tetris Effect is coming to Oculus’ standalone VR device, it seems very likely now. Oculus Quest allows users to play VR games without needing a powerful PC to run them.

The game, which launched on PS4 in 2018 and later released on the Epic Store, was named one of GameSpot’s best games of 2018. It’s a stunner, and hopefully more players will be able to dive into it soon.

Comedian and actor Jim Gaffigan has landed another major part role, taking on the part of the crack-smoking former Toronto mayor, Rob Ford, in a new TV pilot for AMC.

Variety reports that it’s a “dark comedy series” that will follow Ford’s ascent to political power and his descent after being filmed smoking crack cocaine while trying to get re-elected. Ford passed away in 2016 at the age of 46.

The site reports that the show is not a done deal, noting that it’s not guaranteed to go ahead. If it does, it would follow another project, Run This Town, a feature film that starred Damian Lewis as Ford.

Half-Life: Alyx is the first Half-Life game in a very long time, and fans who want to celebrate their return to City 17 might want to listen to the soundtrack on the go. Now, with the first part of the album appearing on streaming services, they can do just that.

Half-Life: Alyx Chapter 1 runs for just 21 minutes across 9 tracks, with more parts coming soon. You can listen below through Spotify. If you purchase chapter 1, all other chapters will be added over time, according to Valve.

These tracks will either evoke the music from the Half-Life game you’ve recently enjoyed, or, for those without VR, give you some scant piece of new Half-Life content after a long, long wait.

Other Half-Life soundtracks can also be streamed or purchased–check out the official Half-Life music page for more.

Half-Life: Alyx received a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review. “Not only has Half-Life: Alyx made good on its shift to VR, it has elevated many of the aspects we’ve come to love about Half-Life games,” wrote reviewer Michael Higham. “It may not be as bombastic as previous games, but the intimacy of VR brings you closer to a world you might have thought you knew over the past 22 years.”

With the news that there will be another Extraction movie in development at Netflix, co-producer and writer Joe Russo has spoken with Collider about what the next film might entail.

Joe Russo confirmed that he will be returning to write another installment in the Extraction franchise after closing a deal with Netflix.

“I think there were preliminary conversations prior to release,” Russo told Collider. “Everyone was very happy with the movie and very excited about it. There was good energy going into the release. And certainly the release cemented it. But yeah, it had been a conversation that’s been going on for a little over a month.”

Avery is a rival that appears with The Isle of Armor expansion. He specializes in Psychic-type Pokemon, as indicated by the Poke Balls that float around his top hat (and his uniform).

“He is gentlemanly and well-mannered but also very proud. And it seems that he’ll see you as a particularly formidable rival!”
