Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge wasn't perfect by any means, but fans of the long-running video game franchise embraced it as an exciting, Fatality-filled adaptation of the core story, and many view it as a more faithful take than the recent live-action reboot (you can check out our review here).
Those fans will be very pleased to hear that a sequel is now in the works and set for release later this summer!
THR reports that Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is officially in development, and will bring back much of the same team from Scorpion's Revenge, including the voice talents of Jordan Rodrigues as Liu Kang, Patrick Seitz as Scorpion & Hanzo Hasashi, Artt Butler as Shang Tsung & Cyrax, Robin Atkin Downes as Shinnok & Reiko, Dave B. Mitchell as Raiden, Kintaro & Sektor; Ikè Amadi as Jax Briggs & One Being; Grey Griffin as Kitana, Satoshi Hasashi & Mileena; and Fred Tatasciore as Shao Kahn.
Joel McHale and Jennifer Carpenter will also be back to lead the Earth-Realm charge as Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.
No story details were provided, but several new characters are set to join the fray, with Matthew Mercer as Stryker & Smoke; Bayardo De Murguia as Sub-Zero/Kuai Liang; Matt Yang King as Kung Lao; Paul Nakauchi as Lin Kuei Grandmaster; Emily O’Brien as Jade; and Debra Wilson as D’Vorah.
Scorpion's Revenge director Ethan Spaulding, screenwriter Jeremy Adams, and producers Rick Morales and Jim Krieg are heading-up the sequel. No release date has been announced, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is expected to debut the R-rated animated feature before summer's end.
