‘Mortal Kombat X’ Reveal Trailer Asks: Who’s Next?

Published

on

Fighter fans and gorehounds rejoice! Mortal Kombat X is official, it’s coming in 2015, and its reveal trailer, which you can find below, is teasing some intriguing changes to the series.

For one, it looks like the fighters will be able to interact with the environment, as Sub-Zero rips a branch from a nearby tree and turns it into a melee weapon mid-fight, then he swings on another branch to kick Scorpion in his ugly, vengeful face. We’ve seen a bit of this in past entries in the series, but never to this extent. Knowing your way around each environment could be very important.

Another change they’re teasing is the option to choose between multiple variations of each fighter. According to the press release, this will impact “both strategy and fighting style.”

Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilize the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios. “The team has worked hard to make sure Mortal Kombat X delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all new graphics engine.”

Mortal Kombat X is slated to release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in 2015.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
