The Mortal Kombat X release date is April 14, 2015 for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Goro has been revealed to be a pre-order exclusive bonus character. However, unofficially you can be pretty sure he’ll come out as paid DLC later on for everyone else.
Check out this trailer for Mortal Kombat X, revealing how the fighting system works and the Variation system with MK staple: Raiden.
While NetherRealm is handling the next-gen & PC platforms, last-gen platform ports will be outsourced. This means that last-gen titles will assuredly be gimped over the next-gen versions, but those gamers who’ve yet to upgrade will certainly be happy over the gesture.
Thirteen characters have been confirmed so far, with many more sure to be revealed in the months leading up to the April launch of the game. Be sure to check out our Mortal Kombat X Character List for more info.
