NetherRealm Studios is the developer behind two of the most recognizable franchises in fighting games. The Mortal Kombat series especially has gained a large amount of infamy over the years since the series' arcade days due to brutal fatalities that just get more gory and ridiculous as newer games have been produced. For many fans of Mortal Kombat, this gore and over-the-top action was what initially attracted them to NetherRealm Studios' most famous creation, and has kept them playing over decades.
