If you’ve been following Ed Boon on Twitter, then you know that he has been dropping hints over the last few weeks about some kind of new “Mortal Kombat” game, and he finally made the big announcement today.
“Mortal Kombat X” will be released sometime in 2015 (most likely second or third quarter) and looks to take everything we loved about the last entry in the series and expand and improve on it in every way.
Fueled by next-gen technology, “Mortal Kombat X” combines unparalleled, cinematic presentation with dynamic gameplay to create an unprecedented Kombat experience.
Mortal Kombat X combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together.
“Mortal Kombat X” will be released on the Xbox One, PS4, PS3, PC and Xbox 360.
