Mortal Kombat is a fighting video game. It was developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the ninth main game in the Mortal Kombat series.
Although beginning during the events of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the plot is a retroactive continuity to the earliest period in the Mortal Kombat series: the events of the first three games (Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3, as well as the third game's two updates Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy). The storyline involves the divine protector of Earth, Raiden, attempting to change the aftermath of the events of Armageddon by contacting his past self as he faces defeat at the hands of the evil emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn. While having characters and levels rendered in three-dimensions, the gameplay distances itself from the 3D graphics style seen in the last five games, bearing closer resemblance to that of the 2D era of the series, using a camera that is perpendicular to the two-dimensional playing field. Colloquially this is called 2.5D.
The game was released on April 3, 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. Upon release, Mortal Kombat received very positive reviews and won several awards for fighting game of the year.
A sequel for the game, Mortal Kombat X, was developed by NetherRealm Studios for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and was released in April 2015.
