Mortal Kombat 11 Unveiled – First Gameplay, Beta, More Characters

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have unveiled quite a bit of details and media for Mortal Kombat 11.

Most of the new content is now available in trailer format. First, the official gameplay trailer which you can find above.

Along with Scorpion and Raiden, we now see Baraka, Scarlet, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, and Sonya Blade. They are also joined by new characters Kronika (the bald lady)- who acts as the major antagonist this time around, and her servant Geras (the black guy).


The tail-end of this and other trailers, and that pre-orders get you beta access. The beta begins March 28 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The next trailer shows off a little more of Sonya, and her voice actress this time around will be Ronda Rousey (UFC champion, Olympic medalist and WWE superstar).

The Story Prologue trailer reveals the events of Mortal Kombat X have changed Raiden for the worse. He has “upset the balance”, causing Kronika “The Keeper of Time” to step in.

Kronika’s servant and new character Geras also gets a trailer. While his powers officially are to manipulate time, we can see plenty of sand being used as well.

The last trailer to finish off also finishes off a lot of fighters- the Fatalities trailer. Suffice to say, viewer discretion is advised due to the violent nature of the video.

The game’s “Kollector’s Edition” was also revealed. It contains the premium edition of the game, Kombat Pack, a 1:1 Scorpion mask bust, exclusive steel case with commemorative magnet coin, authenticity plate, and Kollector’s Box. You can find it pictured below, but not all of the above items are shown.

You can find a full run-down after the break.
