You can re-watch the stream right here: Currently, the known returning characters are Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Kano, Goro (pre-order bonus), and Quan Chi. The new cast includes D’Vorah (bug lady), Ferra/Torr (Master Blaster knockoff), Cassie Cage (daughter of Johnny and Sonya), and Kotal Kahn (Aztec-looking replacement for Shao Kahn as ruler of Outworld). They used a build from an earlier convention and there’s yet to be any actual footage of Goro. The hosts went through the various available characters, showing off some of their different modes before having actual matches. We also got to see a handful of Fatalities. Some of which, like Quan Chi’s, we’ve only seen snippets of in trailers. Kotal Kahn’s other forms include “War God,” where he has a giant sword for extra range (and as a massive projectile) and “Sun God,” where he plays as a grappler who can absorb health and meter. Quan Chi’s “Sorcerer” mode gives him some interesting abilities that involve summoning a ring on the ground. You can summon a ring to make it that all your specials do more damage if you’re standing inside that field. Or perhaps a ring where if your opponent is standing inside it, you do massive block damage. Then there’s a ring where standing inside gives you armor against their attacks. Mortal Kombat X is slated for release on April 15, 2015. It’ll be available for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the PC. For more on Mortal Kombat X, visit our coverage hub!
