Now here is something for all our Mortal Kombat fans. Earlier this year, a new beta version of Mortal Kombat New Era surfaced online. Mortal Kombat New Era (2023) Beta 3.0 features over 150 fighters, and appears to be one of the best free MK Mugen games.
Beta 3.0 brings improvements to Van Damme (Guile), Fujin, Kenshi, Tanya, Sektor, Ryu, Undertaker, Jade, Raphael (TMNT), Kitana, Michelangelo (TMNT) and Zombie Liu Kang. And yes, you read that right. Mortal Kombat New Era 2023 features characters from both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.
Furthermore, this new release adds endings to Jarek, Fujin, Tanya, and Shinnok.
You can download Mortal Kombat New Era 2023 Beta 3.0 from here. Below you can also find a video that highlights all of its latest improvements.
If you aren’t a fan of this particular MK Mugen game, you can also try some other ones. Mortal Kombat Anthology Remake is one of them. Then, we have Mortal Kombat Project Ultimate Revitalized 2.5. Classic MK fans can also try Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 Arcade Mugen 2020.
Have fun!

You should add a sentence to this article explaining what Mugen is. I had never heard of it. Here it is for the others: “Mugen is a freeware 2D fighting game engine, where content is created by the community”.
Not sure how I feel about some of the clashing sprites tbh, plus some of those flashing lights effects, not exactly a fan.
Mugen has never been so great anyway. And I also hate those stupid flashing effects. Good old pixel art effects were soooo much better.
A good alternative I can recommend you is to take a look at hacked roms instead (on Megadrive especially). At least, thanks to technical limits, they usually look exactly like old games, with additional/different content.
Which hacked roms are good examples?
Good news.
But here is better news:
Forspoken devs, Luminous Productions studio has been shut down.
Go woke, go broke!
How many times will we have to tell them?
Old news
