Fox further stated, “I really like her, she’s a vampire, which obviously resonates for whatever reason. It’s cool to be in the game because I’m not really just voicing (the character), she’s kind of…me.” Nitara made its debut in the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance video game released in 2002.
Warner Bros. Games president David Haddad said, "With Mortal Kombat 1 we are bringing a reimagined universe to the legendary franchise which has captivated gamers for more than 30 years and continues to top itself."
