Mortal Kombat has long been a staple of the fighting genre with its over-the-top action and bloody finishing moves that leave opponents literally dismembered on the ground after an intense match. The latest installment in this legendary series is none other than Mortal Kombat 9 Remastered, which brings all of the classic gameplay fans know and love into modern times.

Released initially back in 2011 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles before making its way to PC via Steam later that same year, MK9 was met with largely positive reviews from critics who praised both its faithful recreation of earlier titles while also offering up enough new features to keep series veterans interested. Fast forward nearly a decade however - thanks in part due mainly because people just cannot get enough Mortal Kombat I guess.

Anyway, where were we? Ah yes! So after all these years finally there's been word about an official remastering of sorts being worked on; something which many fans had been clamoring for ever since NetherRealm Studios first let slip hints at such a possibility back during E3 2016. Fast forward again to today and sure enough we now have it: Mortal Kombat 9 Remastered.

But what exactly does this remaster bring to the table compared to its predecessor you ask? Well, besides all of course being remade in glorious HD with prettier graphics etcetera... The biggest addition here would probably be support for 4K resolutions on compatible hardware - meaning those lucky enough will get themselves some seriously crisp looking visuals when duking it out against their opponents. There's also been word thrown around about potential additional characters and stages possibly being added down the line via DLC packs as well, though nothing has officially been confirmed just yet.

Overall speaking though if you're still on the fence about giving Mortal Kombat 9 another shot or maybe even jumping into this series for the first time then I'd highly recommend checking out what is shaping up to be one heck of an exciting release. Just don't say I didn't warn you when you find yourself spending hours upon end mowing down entire armies of ninjas with ease thanks to Scorpion's trusty spear...
