Jason Voorhees has finally made his way to Mortal Kombat X. If you purchased the game’s Kombat Pack, he’s available now, patiently waiting for you to put him to good use. The rest of you will need to wait until May 12 to drop $7.99 to unlock him and the Horror Pack, or $4.99 just for him.
I’ve spent some time with him, and for the most part, I think he’s a solid addition to the roster. That’s not to say that his portrayal isn’t without its issues, but if you’ve been watching him hack up horny teens as long as I have, or longer, than I don’t think he’ll disappoint. He’s fun to play as, but as entertaining as it is watching him literally Hulk someone to pieces, I wish NetherRealm would’ve paired him with a map set in Camp Crystal Lake. It feels like a missed opportunity.
Because we gorehounds are an insatiable bunch, YouTuber MKIceAndFire has gone and compiled every one of Jason’s finishing moves into one extremely gory video. My favorite part is when he tackles his opponent so hard his head flies off. I need to make that my email signature, pronto.
