'Mortal Kombat X' Launch Trailer Shows All Characters in Roster
NetherRealm Studios has done a good job of getting fans excited for the release of Mortal Kombat X by releasing several trailers over the last 10 months. Now that the game's official release is only a few days away, the company released its final trailer, which shows all the characters in the title.
Cinemablend speculates that NetherRealm may still have a few surprises in store for gamers as certain characters like Cyrax, Stryker, and Kabal have not been mentioned, but there are rumors of their involvement in 'Mortal Kombat X'.
Last week, Kombat Kast revealed the Kombatant roster, which includes Kung Lao, Jax, Sonya, Kenshi, Kitana, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena, Takashi Takeda, Cassie Cage, Jacqueline Briggs, Kung Jin, Shinnok, Kano, Johnny Cage, Erron Black, Liu Kang, Ermac, Kotal Khan, Reptile, Ferra and Torr, D'Vorah, Raiden, and Quan Chi.
It was also confirmed that the game's DLC characters include Tanya, Tremor, Predator, Jason, and Goro.
Speaking to GameSpot in March, NetherRealm's Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat in 1992, said that the game's fan base has been instrumental in the game's development. Boon said that the company has always been open to feedback and uses it to shape the franchise's future. He cites the inclusion of Tremor, a character considered as a throwaway by the developers, as one of the examples of how NetherRealm listens to its fans.
"There's a really big push for the obscure character we have, Tremor, which I got so many tweets from players wanting that character," said Boon.
"It actually stood out to me as odd, but there was this swell of people pushing for it with petitions online and all of this crazy stuff, so we included him, and a big reason was because of fans yelling loud enough," he added.
Mortal Kombat X is set to be released on April 14 on the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
