Few franchises can survive for 30 years and still maintain such a high level of popularity. But Mortal Kombat has done it, and a new instalment is about to be launched very soon. Just as goofy, just as bloody, but in a rebooted universe where even a familiar story is given new twists and turns. Sector had the chance to catch up with Derek Kirtzic, one of the lead designers on Mortal Kombat 1, to find out more about what’s new, the story and why he thinks the series is still so popular.
