<\/section>\n

Few games have given us as many iconic one-liners as NetherRealm’s fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat<\/u><\/a>, but this week we’ve learned that the voice behind one of the most famous \u2014 “Toasty!” \u2014 is leaving the studio.<\/p>\n

Audio director Dan Forden worked at Midway and its successor NetherRealm Studios since 1989, most famously on the Mortal Kombat franchise. It’s his voice we hear cry “Toasty!” in falsetto when we pull off an impressive uppercut. First appearing in 1993’s Mortal Kombat II, Toasty went on to become one of the most recognizable lines of dialogue in all video games.<\/p>\n

Now, however, Forden is leaving NetherRealm, writing in a heartfelt message on social media that he was “really proud of what [the studio] accomplished.”<\/p>\n

“Wednesday was my last day at NetherRealm. We made a lot of fun stuff over the years. I\u2019m really proud of what we accomplished as well as how much fun we had making that stuff,” Forden wrote on Instagram<\/u><\/a>. “There are so many smart, talented people there \u2014 look for more great things to emerge over the next several years. I love the little touches that people left around the studio like this little Toasty homage on the bathroom mirror.<\/p>\n\n

“I wouldn\u2019t have lasted 37 years in the industry if fans weren\u2019t out there playing the games we made. Thanks to all of you for supporting what we\u2019ve done. Live long and\u2026 Toasty!”<\/p>\n

Asked in the comments why he was leaving now, Forden explained: “I figured I\u2019d been around long enough. Want to reclaim that time for my own interests.”<\/p>\n

Forden’s exit comes at an uncertain time for NetherRealm, which is owned by Warner Bros. In May, the studio confirmed what Mortal Kombat 1 fans feared after the launch of the Definitive Edition: no new DLC characters or story chapters would be released for the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In August, development chief Ed Boon said Mortal Kombat 1 had sold over 6.2 million copies. Its predecessor, Mortal Kombat 11, became the best-selling game in the franchise by passing Mortal Kombat X’s nearly 11 million units sold worldwide soon after launch. By 2022, Mortal Kombat 11 had sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. Clearly, Mortal Kombat 1 has underperformed compared to previous games in the series.<\/p>\n

NetherRealm has said it shifted to “focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can,” but it has yet to say what it is. Current speculation points to Injustice 3, a continuation of NetherRealm\u2019s DC fighting game series.<\/p>\n

As for what else is happening in the Mortal Kombat world? Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari, launches at the end of October. Movie sequel Mortal Kombat II<\/u><\/a> has been delayed from October 24, 2025, to May 15, 2026<\/u><\/a>. It’s thought Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema believe the movie \u2014 which stars Karl Urban alongside Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, and more \u2014 will perform better at the summer box office given the wild fan response to the trailer.<\/p>\n
