It’s probably never been a better time to be a Mortal Kombat fan with the series’ tenth main installment set to release next April, but some would argue it has some big boots to fill in following its predecessor.

Mortal Kombat was the first traditional title in five years when it debuted in 2011, and quickly made a huge impression on the competitive fighting game community. It enjoyed three exciting years as part of the Evolution Championship Series lineup and, while not as prominent as it once was thanks to fellow NetherRealm Studios fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us, continues to have strong showings at tournaments like The Fall Classic.

If you still have yet to try out this title for yourself, you’re in luck: PlayStation Network is currently offering the game’s game of the year edition, which comes bundled with all of the post-release downloadable content, at a nice discount.

PlayStation Plus subscribers can now purchase Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for only $9.79, while regular PlayStation Network members will have to pay a little bit more at $13.99. No matter which camp you find yourself in, both sales are a far cry from the normal $49.99 price tag.

With the release of a special launch trailer yesterday, we were given a sneak peek at the characters that will be added to the Killer Instinct roster during season two. In addition to returning fighters like TJ Combo and Maya, Microsoft also revealed that fellow veterans Riptor and Cinder will also be playable in the coming months.

While they’ve covered much of the community’s expectations so far, some are still hoping more characters that debuted in Killer Instinct 2, such as Kim Wu and Tusk, will eventually find their way into the Xbox One reboot.

Fortunately for them, it appears as if they may have quite a bit to look forward to. In a very candid tweet sent out yesterday, Microsoft creative director Adam Isgreen said that they have “some amazing things” in the works for both of the aforementioned fighters.

Because both Microsoft and Iron Galaxy Studios are devoted to their work on season two at this point in time, it’s likely we won’t hear more about Kim Wu and Tusk until development begins on an as of yet unannounced third round of content for Killer Instinct.

That being said, we’d like to hear from our community what you folks want to see out of these two fighters should they find their way into the cast later on down the road. Feel free to jump into the comments and let us know!
