A 7″ picture disc with Mike Oldfield’s song Nuclear on side A alongside an image of Snake was released for Record Store Day. The 7″ was released by Virgin EMI Records released on Record Store Day 2016 which was on April 16.

It was a UK/EU exclusive and was only available in European record stores on the day.

Mortal Kombat XL

A picture have been shared to a few social media sites and forums of a promotional or press kit vinyl copy of the Mortal Kombat XL.

Supposedly this was a planned release, but was reportedly later cancelled and the picture was supposedly a mockup of how it could have looked and not a finished product.

There’s still some uncertainty surrounding this release, but as of now I’m treating it as a cancelled release unless proof of it actually being pressed shows up.
