Known already in the past titles, Quan Chi, when in Warlock mode, can unlock portals that will enable him to attack opponents from various angles. Sorcerer mode will enable him to use his infamous array of spells. The Summoner mode, on the other hand, gives him the ability to call on the underworld creatures to assist him in combats.
First introduced in the 1996 animated TV series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Quan Chi debuted as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 4 following his appearance as level boss in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.
NetherRealm Studios, through Boon, also announced the comeback of the four-armed half-human, half-dragon Goro, who is also a member of the Shokan race.
Appearing in the original Mortal Kombat game as boss character, Goro can now be played in the upcoming MKX with pre-order pack and later on in DLC packs.
Mortal Kombat X will be available for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and in PC. Pre-orders are still ongoing.
