With April in full swing, the launch day of Mortal Kombat X draws ever so near. Certainly what is to be expected is an onslaught of gore and cracked bones. But series fans and even newcomers shouldn’t let their guard down. There is a lot of content hitting this new entry in the Mortal Kombat series.


Much like the game before it, Mortal Kombat X will also have an in-depth story. The new one will throw the Mortal Kombat universe 25 years into the future, as well as deal with events taking place directly after the end of the previous game.

Character List

While a variety of familiar faces will return to the game's initial roster, a handful of newcomers will also be featured as well. Even a fair share of DLC characters have been announced. An important thing to note is that a lot of classic characters who have been seen in trailers, such as Smoke and Baraka, might not be unlockable. Rather, they could be scheduled as DLC sometime in the future. Regardless, you can find a full list of the initial roster below:

Modes

Aside from the game's typical story and vs. modes, Mortal Kombat X will also feature new modes, such as Factions, Living Towers and 5 v 5 battles. Alterations of previous series modes are in as well, like a new version of Test Your Luck mode.
Mortal Kombat X will launch on April 14 for PS4, Xbox One, Windows PC, iOS and Android. Its PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have been delayed to June 2.
