Mortal Kombat II is an arcade game and the second title in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Storywise, the events before and during this game are portrayed in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Essentially, Mortal Kombat II is an extension of the game system of Mortal Kombat. A few normal moves have been added (close high punch and crouching punch, for example). The roundhouse kick was made more powerful in part II, and like the uppercut, launched opponents into the air. Additionally returning characters gained new special moves. The game also introduced multiple fatalities, as well as additional finishing moves to the franchise.

However, each character still shared generic attributes – speed, power, jump height and airtime – and all normal moves were similar between each character. As with its predecessor, the only thing differentiating each character were their appearance, special moves, hit detection, and finishing moves. Midway announced that Mortal Kombat 2 would be coming out for the PlayStation 3's download service, PlayStation Network. The game was made available for sale on April 12th, 2007 for $4.99 USD. This version features online play and was handled by the same team responsible for the X-Box Live conversion of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
