Kingdom Hearts Account Finally Teases Missing Link

Kingdom Hearts Missing Linkis finally happening - probably. After months of waiting, the official Twitter account has shared a teaser for the long-awaited mobile game, strongly suggesting that we’ll get some news on the project soon. The teaser doesn’t give much away at all, simply showing a screenshot of a construction site in Scala ad Caelum, along with the text, “#KHML”.

Mortal Kombat 1 Confirms The Elder Gods Are Still Around, For Some Reason

The Elder Gods were pretty useless in bothMortal Kombattimelines. In the original trilogy, they kinda just sat back and allowed Shao Kahn to decimate entire civilizations, even invading Earthrealm despite losing the Mortal Kombat tournament. When they do get off their asses to do something, it’s usually already too late. And that’s not to get into the whole Shinnok ordeal. Long story short, they drop the ball a lot. Liu Kang, however, is a very forgiving man....
