One of the biggest trailers that blew people away from Mortal Kombat XI. The game trailer was welcomed as many were hyped to see Raiden and Scorpion inbattle. But since this is the next installment and Nether Realm like to change things up it leaves us to wonder what will the play style be like this time.
Well Ed Boon has decided to answer that question and it seems it is a little bit of MKX and a little bit of injustice. Basically the variations is back in a sense on top of the custom changes from Injustice 2. A nice marriage which will give fans something new to enjoy.
“It’s exciting to finally announce Mortal Kombat 11 and showcase what the team has been working on.Our Custom Character Variation System opens up an infinite amount of options for players to personalize their favorite fighters. We can’t wait until January when we’ll be showing more of the game.”
There is more as Ed touches on the story which seems to have a time bending aspect to it. Something the series is familiar with as it was used in Mk9 to rewrite time to get us a new exciting Mortal Kombat to play through. But they are rebooting the MK verse again are they?
[NetherRealm Studios is known for creating large-scale, cinematic story modes in their fighting games that are often revered as the best the genre has to offer. The company’s last major fighting game, Injustice 2, featured a powerful, immersive story mode that had us more attached to the heroes and villains than we expected by the end of it — and we said as much in our review of the game.
One of the terms used to describe Mortal Kombat 11’s story is “time bending.” This a pretty large indicator that the tale will involve time travel.
In the reveal trailer, we see Dark Raiden and Scorpion do battle, and when Scorpion is ultimately killed (spoiler alert), another Scorpion that looks like his Mortal Kombat 2 / Mortal Kombat 3 iteration jumps in to finish the fight. While this was a bit confusing at first, knowing that time travel is a thing in Mortal Kombat 11 makes a second Scorpion from the past make a lot more sense.
The cinematic story in Mortal Kombat 11 is also set to center around the mysterious newcomer we saw at the end of the reveal trailer. Considering this new character was standing next to what looked like a giant hourglass, it seems like time travel is going to play a big part in the game.]
With that said you can see the images as well as the trailer on top of Yo Videogames reactions below.
