Mortal Kombat X: New Kombatants Confirmed in Official Story Trailer
NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive revealed the official story trailer for Mortal Kombat X earlier today (Feb. 27), which confirmed a handful of new characters. The latest video for the upcoming latest installment in the juggernaut fighting game franchise is available below.
It looks like with the new Kombatants, NetherRealm Studios is focusing on the new generation of characters. Cassie Cage, the daughter or Johnny and Sonya Blade, looks to be leading a team of other children of previous Mortal Kombat fighters in a battle to save Earthrealm from a new threat. The new trailer offers an early look at the new generation of characters, including: Jacqueline Briggs, the daughter of Jax; Takashi Takeda, the son of Kenshi; and finally, Kung Jin, the descendant of Kung Lao, who is also confirmed for the game.
Besides the new fighters, Mileena is also confirmed to appear in the game. She appears to be leading an Outworld rebel army against Kotal Kahn. The trailer also has a glimpse of the new character, Erron Black, who was introduced in the prequel Mortal Kombat X comic book series. Shinnok and Sindel were other returning characters who featured in the trailer. Some of these characters being playable in the game does not seem like a huge stretch.
Mortal Kombat X is due out April 14. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
