And he might have a sword now?

Spawn's creator Todd McFarlane recently tweeted out some photos of a new "Mortal Kombat Spawn" action figure showing the grimdark superhero holding a sword, standing on top of a decapitated enemy, and wearing a very chunky spiked booty on one leg. I haven't read a Spawn comic since 1995, so I have no idea if this is what he looks like now or if it's a significant redesign.

Replying to the tweet, the official Mortal Kombat 11 account wrote "Amazing figure? Absolutely! Kombat proven? We’ll see on 3/8, @Todd_McFarlane...😈" which suggests that Spawn might unlock on March 8 for players who own the Kombat Pack DLC (or at least we'll get a closer look at him).

There's been no shortage of Spawn games on console, going back to 1995 on the SNES, but this will be his first appearance on PC. Outside of mods, at least. There's been Spawn in Arkham City, Spawn in Fallout: New Vegas, and of course sexy Spawn in Skyrim to name just a few.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
