Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory visual history artbook announced

The team at Insight Editions are teaming up with NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. to give us a behind-the-scenes visual representation of one of the most brutal and epic fighting games of all time – Mortal Kombat. In this new visual anthology entitled Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory, the team showcases their meteoric rise all the way through the most recent release / reboot, Mortal Kombat 1. Let's get some inside information from the Insight Editions team:

Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory: A Visual History of the Iconic Series [Insight Editions; October 21] takes readers on a journey through the visual history of the iconic, over-the-top fighting game that was first introduced to the world in 1992. Go beyond the game with exclusive interviews with the development team, stunning concept sketches, renders, and illustrations. What are you waiting for? Get over here!

This deluxe edition dives into interviews with the development team at NetherRealm Studios on the process of creating and evolving an iconic fighting game franchise, providing an in-depth look at the legendary characters (such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage), detailed environments, and powerful moves that bring Mortal Kombat to life. 

Filled with behind-the-scenes fun facts and information about the game making process, from crafting the setting to developing the gameplay, this beautiful volume is a must-have collectible for Mortal Kombat fans and fighting game enthusiasts.

I love these books from Insight as they showcase all sorts of concept art, features, and other goodies that never saw the light of day for some reason or another. They also have great behind-the-scenes information from the developers themselves. It's always entertaining to hear them talk about the games they brought to life, and all of the ways that process and the public's reaction to it surprised them.

You can pre-order it at this link right here. You won't have to wait too long for it – Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory will be on sale on October 21st, 2025.
