Fans of Mortal Kombat, rejoice. There will be a community event on Thursday, January 17, 2019. Fans of this legendary fighting game will want to tune in because it looks like this event will feature everything we want to know about Mortal Kombat 11.
The event promises exclusive reveals as well as showcasing the first gameplay for Mortal Kombat 11. There will also be details shared about characters, lore, and the story’s plot. They will also be showcasing some ‘new features’ as well.
Where to Watch
The event will be broadcasted live on NetherRealm’s Twitch channel. It will start at 10:30 PST, for those on the east coast that means 1:30 p.m. EST. Fans of Mortal Kombat will only have to be patient for a few more days. It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything for this iconic series, but as more information will come to the light we can only hope this game lives up to all the hype.
Characters
There is no word, for now about character reveals. But we can never be too sure when it comes to NetherRealm. There are many speculations about new characters, but only time will tell if any rumors prove to be true. From what we’ve seen in the trailer, we have some classics returning.
Raiden
Warner Bros. Interactive Media
An iconic character of the series, it’s no surprise he would return in this highly anticipated installment of the franchise. However, there is one big difference, Raiden is using red lightning now his usual blue. Could this actually be Dark Raiden instead? Only time will tell.
Scorpion
Warner Bros. Interactive Media
One of the most recognized characters in the series, it’s not surprising that Scorpion has also returned. He’s practically guaranteed a spot in every game, but it’s always great to see a familiar face. In the reveal trailer, we get a look that there may be some different costume designs as Scorpion sports a look that is a callback to earlier Mortal Kombat games.
Shao Khan
Warner Bros. Interactive Media
The first character that is confirmed to be a pre-order bonus, the infamous Shao Khan. This brutal warlord comes to quite a surprise and incentive to pre-order the game.
