PlayStation's Holiday Sale is now underway with many of the best deals on fighting games we've seen all year — including some titles that hardly ever get discounted.
Jeehyang Lee's fighting game artwork is both beautiful and brutal... especially his Chun-Li
Immediately when we came across the first image in this gallery, (Chun-Li next to hulking Zangief) our fingers crossed that there were enough additional pieces for a gallery. Something about the juxtaposition of the two characters, and Gief having such a worried look despite his more obvious physical strength makes for immediate intrigue.
We quickly thereafter found the somewhat similar, but much more brutal, image of Chun-Li standing over a bloodied and battered E. Honda. If these were the only two drawings from Jeehyung Lee, we'd have made a gallery post, but thankfully there are even more.

Her work doesn't just include fantastic depictions of some of fighting game's most popular female fighters, but her resume has official work for DC Comics, Riot Games, Image Comics, and Under Armour on it.
That's one hell of an introduction to live up to, but this artist's work absolutely does just that. Today we're looking at some of Sozo's art pieces featuring Street Fighter's Chun-Li and Cammy, Morrigan from Darkstalkers, and more.

Did Ed Boon just outright confirm NetherRealm Studios' next project with his latest set of hints?
It's been over a year since NetherRealm Studios announced the completion of post-launch development for Mortal Kombat 11. What could their next project be? Is it Mortal Kombat 12, Injustice 3, something to do with Marvel, or is it something else entirely?
During Ed Boon's latest Q&A session on Twitter, he seemingly released a decisive hint on what NetherRealm Studios' next project is. With this hint in mind, all signs now seem to be pointing towards Mortal Kombat 12.

Ed Boon recently hosted several interesting AMAs in which the topic of NetherRealm Studios' next project came up several times...
It's been over a year since it was announced that post-launch development for Mortal Kombat 11 wrapped up and that NetherRealm Studios had moved on to their next project. Oddly though, we've yet to receive an official announcement on what this "next project" is, but there have been plenty of rumors circulating on what it could be.
Though Ed Boon, co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series and Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios, has been rather tightlipped about the mysterious project, he recently hosted a couple of "Ask Me Anything" (or more specifically, "Ask Me Stuff") sessions on Twitter in which questions about the next project were asked several times. It's a bit of a longshot, but it's possible that some clues about what it is could be derived from Boon's words.
Fan depicts what the Injustice series would be like if it released during the 90s and Superman was portrayed by John Turk
Injustice: Gods Among Us was first released on April 16, 2013. In many ways, the Injustice series could be thought of as a Mortal Kombat game, but with DC characters. While this isn't a one-to-one analogy, it does make sense considering how NetherRealm Studios develops both Mortal Kombat and Injustice.
But what if the Injustice series began in the 90s, just like with Mortal Kombat? Flavio Luccisano, a freelance artist and fan of NetherRealm Studios games, recently depicted what this would be like.

Ed Boon says that we shouldn't expect any Mortal Kombat news at the upcoming Evo 2022 tournament this weekend
Evo 2022, one of the biggest fighting game tournaments of the year, is slated to begin this weekend. Just yesterday, we learned from the PlayStation Blog the Evo Lounge will host reveals of upcoming fighting game content from Arc System Works, Warner Bros. Games, Capcom, SNK, and Bandai Namco Entertainment.
At this point, it's been over a year since NetherRealm Studios announced that post-launch content for Mortal Kombat 11 had wrapped up, and that the company had moved on to their next project. Could Evo 2022 be the perfect time for the announcement of "Mortal Kombat 12"? According to Ed Boon, us fans should not get our hopes up.
