[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60398, member: 1"] Ahead of Mortal Kombat 1's September 19 release date, developer NetherRealm Studios has released a new live-action trailer that pays homage to the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8V7TwlYCt0']iconic 1993 TV commercial[/URL]. The new trailer, titled It's In Our Blood, features actor and retired pro wrestler Dave Bautista as he rallies a bunch of people from all walks of life in a city, encouraging them to embrace their inner warriors. What's interesting about the trailer is that Bautista's role is similar to that of Mortal Kombat character Liu Kang, who we previously learned has forged a new universe where he serves as the Fire God. The commercial is a great walk down memory lane for those familiar with the Mortal Monday commercial that appeared in 1993 to promote the original Mortal Kombat's console launch. Longtime series fans fondly remember the advert, as it featured the iconic [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8V7TwlYCt0&t=14s']"MORTAL KOMBAAAT" scream[/URL]. "The original Mortal Monday commercial earmarked the beginning of our journey into making games for home gaming systems," Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon said. "It's amazing to pay homage to such a memorable moment in Mortal Kombat history as we get ready to launch our newest game, Mortal Kombat 1."
