Looks like Mortal Kombat X is going to get a little bit bloodier next year. We’ve known that a second pack of fighters were on the way for a while now, to complement the initial release of DLC characters such as Jason Voorhees, Tremor, Predator and Tanya. Thanks to a proper reveal at the Game Awards (after an unceremonius pre-show leak), we’ve just got our first look at the gruesome quartet who’ll be gracing Mortal Kombat X in the second season.
So prepare yourselves, for a good ol’ fashioned Texas Chainsaw massacre in this video trailer:
If you can’t see the video above, here’s a quick list of who’s who in the Mortal Kombat X zoo:
- Bo Rai Cho
- Leatherface
- Xenomorph
- Triborg
That’s an interesting selection right there. Leatherface looks magnificently hilarious, as you’d expect any product of incest with a fetish for motorised tree-felling equipment to be. Triborg looks like the Tony Stark version of Shang Tsung, a cyborg who uses the abilities of Sektor,Cyrax and Smoke. The Xenomorph present here is one that has taken on the qualities of the Tarkatan host that it has burst forth from and Bo Rai Cho makes his first playable appearance since Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
An interesting bunch of characters for season 2 then. I’m particularly keen to see how the Xenomorph handles with its three combat variant styles, being a pseudo-Baraka and all that. There’s no exact date on when the latest Mortal Kombat X characters will drop, but it’ll most likely be at regular periods throughout 2016.
At least now, I can finally have the dream Alien Vs. Predator match that I’ve been aching for ever since I saw AVP: Requiem.

Didn’t Mortal Kombat games used to have Mortal Kombar characters in? 😉

Damn it.
I was typing really fast, okay?
Sounds like an awesome bar none the less.

Are they out of ideas? Do they have to borrow characters from other franchises just to be relevant?

I am just pissing my pants thinking Jason Voorhees vs a Xenomorph.

They should put Guyver in MK. He would fit in pretty well here.

Yes! But I bet not many people know who that is

Sadly. I loved Guyver when I was young(er).
The movies were mediocre, but the violence was quite decent. I preferred the one without Mark Hamil though.

Same here. Was like a violent version of power rangers

Yes, I’ll definitely not watch them today though. Would like to keep those pleasant childhood memories intact.

I remember thinking the effects were awesome. So yea, safer to keep it that way.

You should’ve entered the competition for tickets to The Last Witch Hunter screening. It was right around the corner from you, and rather good too.

Ah damn. I missed it completely. Had no idea.
And that movie really intrigues me too. Love that kind of stuff.

The obvious question remains. When will Chuck norris make a cameo?
Jan Prins
December 4, 2015 at 10:06
He won’t. It will be:
“Round one, FIGHT!”
Immediately followed by : “Chuck Norris wins… Beard-tality!”

Still no Bella Goth for MK X???
