Mortal Kombat 11

You want more reveals for Mortal Kombat 11? You got it!

This weekend, we got a look at Noob Saibot and Shang Tsung. In the days before that, we were shown Kotal Kahn and Jacqui Briggs in action. Now today, we are being shown the "Old Skool vs. New Skool" trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 that brings to light some of the fan favorites from the long history of the Mortal Kombat franchise.

These fan favorites include the return of Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Jax. But how? Time travel. The answer is time travel.

  • Liu Kang, the greatest of the Shaolin monks, was an orphan adopted and trained in the arts of combat by the Shaolin order. He was handpicked by Raiden to be Earthrealm’s Mortal Kombat champion and chief defender.
  • Kung Lao joined the Shaolin monks in a quest to become Earthrealm’s new Mortal Kombat champion. Reckless and rebellious, but courageous and indomitable, Kung Lao fights to prove worthy of his glorious ancestors.
  • Major Jackson “Jax” Briggs was a decorated veteran of the Special Forces whose life changed forever when he fought in the Mortal Kombat tournament. His duty was now clear—he would defend Earthrealm against Outworld and the Netherrealm.
Mortal Kombat 11 is slated to be released on April 23, 2019. Those who pre-order will get access to the closed beta running March 27 through March 31 in North America for the PS4 and XB1 platforms. Pre-orders will also get immediate access to Shao Kahn.
