The Mortal Kombat franchise has lasted well over two decades, maintaining an impressive level of popularity throughout its long lifespan. There's no evidence of it slowing down, either, as Mortal Kombat 11 introduces new characters and content to keep fans occupied, with hints that more is on the horizon. Being so long-lasting, the series is no stranger to merch, but a new collaboration with Secretlab may pique fans' interest.

Today on the official Secretlab Twitter account, the gaming furniture company announced a new chair inspired by the Mortal Kombat franchise. It boasts a slick black look with red accents, all punctuated by the iconic Mortal Kombat dragon logo on both the back and front. The front logo is smaller and centered where it will meet the user's upper back. The other logo is much larger, taking up nearly the entire space and cutting off the side of the logo.

There are two versions of the chair, one being a standard size and the other being larger. The larger chair, obviously, is better suited to taller and heavier individuals, though it does seem to be significantly larger judging by the pictures Secretlab uploaded. According to the company, the chair is only available in limited quantities.

Fighting games are one of the most popular genres for esports, with events like the EVO Championship Series being a massive draw for fighting game pros from a wide variety of backgrounds. It wouldn't be surprising for these chairs to show up at a Mortal Kombat esports event, as that's the perfect target audience. Conveying what the franchise represents while maintaining a satisfactory level of comfort is easier said than done, but Secretlabs has carved out its own space to do so with its chairs.

Secretlabs has made a number of collaborations before, ranging from other popular video game franchises to Game of Thrones. It isn't surprising that it managed to lock down another collaboration with a notable game franchise, and it doesn't seem likely that it will be the last one. Gaming chairs have become more prominent with the rise of esports and Twitch streams, so it's understandable that the company has found success.

With video game playtime increasing over the past year, it seems likely that more gamers will start to see gaming chairs as a worthwhile investment. Spending hours in an uncomfortable chair is unpleasant, plus it comes with its own set of negative health impacts. A good chair can help gamers keep solid posture, which is important.

The Secretlab Mortal Kombat chair is available to order now.
