The Mortal Kombat series reached its 30th anniversary back in October, and the team currently behind the bloody brutality has released a video thanking its fans for three decades of kombat–which may hold a quick peek at the future of the franchise.
The two-minute video features multiple NRS team members–including designers, animators, and more –both in the office and working from home. A few recognizable faces, such as community manager and host of KombatKast Tyler Lansdown and longtime audio director Dan Forden, also appear in the video.
The video ends with the most famous name in Mortal Kombat, co-creator Ed Boon, being saved for last. After he thanks the fans and says “we’re not quite done yet,” we see a 12-second clip of sand falling in an hourglass, with the final grain of said exploding before the video fades to black.
