Error is always part of every creation. Even more so in video games. Bugs or glitches in the mechanics lead to interesting ideas that developers decide to keep. And on more than one occasion, when something goes wrong and reaches the public, it is they who ask the developers not to change it<\/strong>. That the game is more fun, more interesting, or better overall, that way. Something that has also happened with Mortal Kombat.<\/p>\n\n\n

NetherRealm Studios has announced the fourth character in the franchise’s history that will be included in Mortal Kombat 1 through the Kombat Pass<\/a>. This will be Ermac, a fearsome ninja with psychic powers<\/strong>. And in addition to his first trailer, Ed Boon, the franchise’s creator, has decided to comment on the origins of this peculiar character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Boon’s comment on a Twitter thread<\/a>, the name Ermac comes from an error in the first Mortal Kombat. Ermac is an abbreviation for Error Macro, a list of every error in the code that was found in the arcade machine while it was in use. In the case of the Mortal Kombat arcade, Ermac appeared after each game listed after Reptile, a hidden character within the game<\/strong>. This made many players think that, like Reptile, there was a character named Ermac that had yet to be discovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
