Mortal Kombat 2 Gets Digital and 4K Blu-ray Release Dates Following Theatrical Run
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Warner Bros. has announced that Mortal Kombat 2 will release on digital platforms on June 9 and physical 4K Blu-ray on July 28 following its box office run.
Mortal Kombat fans who missed the bloodbath in theaters or just want to rewatch the digital brutality from their couch do not have to wait long. Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema have officially confirmed that Mortal Kombat 2 is heading to digital storefronts next week on June 9. The sequel pulled in over $122 million globally since opening in May, and players can grab it digitally on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. If you prefer physical media on your shelf, the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and physical disc versions arrive on July 28.
For those collecting physical media, the upcoming discs pack a few extras, including behind the scenes features highlighting the intense stunt choreography required to bring fighters like Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban, and Scorpion, played by Hiroyuki Sanada, to life. The sequel leaned hard into what the community wanted after the 2021 reboot, prioritizing game accurate Fatalities and fan favorite characters. Critical reception was mixed, with some reviewers pointing out that the narrative feels more like a string of high budget cutscenes than a traditional film, but fighting game fans largely got the chaotic spectacle they were looking for.
While a subscription streaming date on Max remains unannounced, the rapid shift to home video gives digital collectors quick access. A third film was teased by screenwriter Jeremy Slater last year, though its future likely depends on how well the sequel performs on home platforms and streaming services. Whether you are watching for the lore or just waiting to see every spine chilling Fatality ranked, the home release lets you queue up the action on your own screen soon.
