Today, WBIE and NetherRealm revealed the first look at Mortal Kombat 11's brutal gameplay in a huge stream. This reveal event live stream included multiple new looks at gameplay from the upcoming fighting game, including a heaping helping of fatalities, combos, new tech, and even the opening cinematic. It was capped off by a short pro tournament between some of the world's best in the fighting game community.
Also revealed during today's event is the fact that Ronda Rousey, the WWE professional wrestler and first female inductee to the UFC Hall of Fame, will be the voice for Sonya in Mortal Kombat 11.

"We’re thrilled to showcase Mortal Kombat 11 and reveal the gameplay, new features and epic characters to the fans,†said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “We have an amazing community, and it’s an honor to share this celebration of the Mortal Kombat franchise with all of our passionate fans around the world."

Yet another trailer introduces us to Geras who, much like Kronika, has the ability to manipulate time. Finally, the last trailer features a montage of some of the Fatalities included in the game.
X-Rays were already an aspect of the game which needed speeding up, but now they've added even more cinematics to more frequently remove control from the player.
MK has always had projectile attacks so i realise they can't be removed easily, but the zoning spam that happens so often in both Injustice games is already happening here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Cn...=youtu.be&t=46.
Level designs are brown and uninteresting...
I don't know, i didn't like the direction the game went in with MKX, and while i did derive some enjoyment from that game i was hoping for something else.
Again, first impression, we'll see where it goes.
