Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Unlockable Characters and Fatality Brutality Moves on PS3, Xbox 360

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is now in stores for PS3 and Xbox 360 with, in true MK fashion, multiple Fatality moves for each character. The advent of DC Universe characters brings Brutality finishing moves as well, along with a couple unlockable characters.

You won’t need a special cheat code to open up these moves. They are available as soon as the character is available requiring a button combination specific to Xbox 360 or PS3 to complete.


Unlock Darkseid and Shao Kahn
The first step to unlocking Darkseid is completing the campaign fighting on the DC Universe side, while Shao Kahn required beating the campaign fighting on the Mortal Kombat side. Once complete, head to the character selection screen and to the following:

  • Xbox 360: Hold down the Right Bumper button
  • PS3: Hold down the R1 button
