Mortal Kombat 11 is bringing in 80s film icon RoboCop for its upcoming Aftermath expansion that will add an epilogue to its story.
While Mortal Kombat is no stranger to post-launch support, Aftermath marks the first DLC to include story elements. Launching May 26, the expansion will feature two returning characters in the god of wind Fujin and Sheeva, a half-dragon and half-human who first appeared in Mortal Kombat 3. Those two fighters will be in the new cinematic story that sees Liu Kang team up with an old foe in Shang Tsung. It’s unknown if RoboCop, who is voiced by actor Peter Weller, will have an actual role or if he will just be a bonus character. Three skin packs are also included in Aftermath, which will cost $40.
Alongside the expansion, a free update will launch on the same day featuring additional stage fatalities, friendships, and levels. Two of the stages will be the Dead Pool and Soul Chamber arenas.

A new version of Mortal Kombat 11, called the Aftermath Kollection, with all its content arrives on May 26. It includes the original game, the new expansion, and the Kombat Pack DLC for $60. Those who pre-order will receive a free character skin pack, including fresh outfits for Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
RoboCop isn’t the first crossover character from a film to arrive in Mortal Kombat 11. The initial DLC pack of six characters included The Terminator and comic mainstays Joker and Spawn. Its predecessor, 2015’s Mortal Kombat X, received two DLC packs that included a trio of horror icons: Jason Voorhees, Predator, and Leatherface. The trend began in the 2011 reboot with Freddy Kreuger from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The latest entry in the long-running fighting game series released in April 2019 and received critical acclaim for its story and its customization system. Cinematic campaigns have become a staple of NetherRealm Studios’ titles, and Mortal Kombat 11 featured past and present versions of characters meeting themselves due to time travel. While not featuring any drastic changes from past 2D releases in terms of combat, it did implement the custom gear system that was first found in Injustice 2.
Mortal Kombat 11 is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Google Stadia.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
