Details are beginning to surface regarding Mortal Kombat 11 and a famous star is set to voice one of the characters. On Thursday, January 17, it was announced that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion and current WWE Women’s Raw Champion Ronda Rousey will be starring in the game as Sonya Blade.
The game is a sequel to Mortal Kombat X which was released back in 2015.
NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment are targeting an April 23, 2019, release date. The game — which will feature single-player and multiplayer modes — will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows.
Those who pre-order the game will unlock the playable character Shao Kahn.
The news was announced during the official Mortal Kombat 11 reveal.
Rousey was undefeated in her mixed martial arts career through 2015, before losing the UFC title to Holly Holm at UFC 193 on November 14, 2015. She returned to action more than a year later, on December 30, 2016, but suffered a second consecutive knockout loss to current UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes.
After her second loss, Rousey decided to retire from the UFC and took her talents to the squared circle.
Rousey signed with the WWE in 2018 and made her first appearance at SummerSlam. Her in-ring debut came at WrestleMania 34.
Along with mixed martial arts and professional wrestling, Rousey has ventured into acting and has starred in films like The Expendables 3, Furious 7, Mile 22, and The Entourage movie.
She is also a New York Times best-selling author with her autobiography My Fight / Your Fight, which was released in 2015.
