Launching in early 2023, this new collection will bring Scorpion, Sub-Zero and more to Upper Deck’s popular Vs. System 2PCG family. Players will find cards featuring iconic elements of the series brought to life in new ways via this head-to-head card game. The all-new 200-card set features scenes and moments taken directly from Mortal Kombat 11 and is fully compatible with the existing Vs. System 2PCG landscape. 10 new main characters, such as video game legends Raiden and Liu Kang are included along with over 30 supporting characters. Righteous heroes of Earthrealm and conquerors from Netherrealm will clash as players try to gain the upper hand against each other, then “FINISH THEM!”
