The Mortal Kombat (MK) series is an American fighting game franchise developed by Midway Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The series is renowned for its graphic violence and unique finishing moves called Fatalities, which even contributed to the creation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). The original Mortal Kombat was released in 1992 and has since grown into a massive transmedia franchise, including action-adventure games, comics, card games, films, animated TV series, and live-action tours. The series is one of the best-selling fighting game franchises worldwide and one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The story of the series is set in several fictional realms, created by the Elder Gods, with the fate of these realms decided through martial arts tournaments called "Mortal Kombat". The Mortal Kombat series is known for its unique digitized characters and diverse finishing moves, such as Fatalities, Animalities, and Friendships. The most recent title in the series is Mortal Kombat 1, which serves as a soft reboot, set in a new timeline created by Liu Kang and re-imagining many of the classic characters.
