Mortal Kombat, the iconic game franchise, is giving a fresh take on the series with a total reboot. Given the name Mortal Kombat 1, the game is the second reboot of the series and the sequel to Mortal Kombat 11, the story is set in a universe that Liu Kang created.

I talked to Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Smoke, about how he got into character to play Smoke and how he used to wake up to the soundtrack to the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack.

I talked to Thiago Gomes, the art development director for Mortal Kombat 1, about how it felt to start the game over and telling the Mortal Kombat story through Lui Kang’s eyes.
