Mortal Kombat X Gets a Fun New Throwback TV Spot
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have put out a new TV spot for Mortal Kombat X, which seems like a fun throwback to the old school Mortal Kombat ads. The Mortal Kombat official TV spot is available in the player below.
The commercial is a fun throwback. Throngs of people take to the streets in an eager mob to watch a fight going down, though all the fighting takes place off-screen. It is interspersed with footage of fighting from the actual game. The video is highly reminiscent of the old school Mortal Monday TV spots that aired back in the day for the console releases of the very first Mortal Kombat video game in the early 1990s. I am not sure if that was the specific intent of the new TV spot, but that is definitely how it comes off. As UFC President Dana White has echoed before, everyone in the world loves a good fight. The concept of the TV spot plays off of that point of view quite well.
The wait for Mortal Kombat X is almost over. Mortal Kombat X is due out on April 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are set to hit the shelves on June 30.
