Machinima.com has just launched its web series based on the Mortal Kombat video game franchise, titled Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, each of the nine-episode series will feature different characters from the games, with the first focusing on Major Jackson ‘Jax’ Briggs and Lt. Sonya Blade (played by Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan, respectively).

If you are a fan of the franchise and are still bitter over the abysmal Mortal Kombat movies from the 90s, you’re in for a real treat with this new series. You can watch the first episode after the jump!
