The Mortal Kombat reboot had a pretty successful release in theaters and on HBO Max considering the circumstances, and we expect that there are plenty more fans waiting to see it on Blu-ray and digital. If you’re one of them, we now have details on when you’ll be able to own the film on Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray (SteelBook) + Digital.

Don’t confuse this release with the 2-film SteelBook bundle that Best Buy launched last year. That version includes the 1995 Mortal Kombat film and the terrible 1997 sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Here is the official synopsis for the new Mortal Kombat movie:

“MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritageโ€”or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcanaโ€”the immense power from within his soulโ€”in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?”

The cast includes Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, and Lewis Tan as new character Cole Young.
