The fighting styles of Mortal Kombat veteran characters Kitana and Kung Lao are revealed in the first official gameplay trailer of “Mortal Kombat X” released on January 14, 2015 by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.
Developed by NetherRealm, “Mortal Kombat X” is the 10th installment to the very successful bloody fighting video game franchise.
Due to hit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 14, 2015, “Mortal Kombat X” is one of the most anticipated video games among gamers who crave for the unique kind of excitement and gore that the game brings forth.
Who’s Next?
The trailer which has the title “Who’s Next?” which usually is quipped after a player defeats an opponent in the video game, featured the return of the deadly fan-wielding Edenian princess known as Kitana.
Consistent with her fighting style in the early editions of the Mortal Kombat video games, Kitana uses her fan blades to slice and dice her opponent, details Eurogamer.
Kung Lao, on the other hand, is the mixed-martial artist who uses his razor sharp hat to cut up his enemies, reminiscent of the James Bond Japanese villain named Oddjob. He also has that Ip Man-like punch combination that drives an opponent to the ground.
While the trailer did not go so much into the other facets of the fighting styles of Kitana and Kung Lao, it still give gamers a quick and dirty look at what they can do.
The gameplay trailer also featured some of the gruesome and brutal fights with memorable Kombatants including Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kano and several others.
Bloodier game and more
The improved graphics of “Mortal Kombat X” has made the bloody game even bloodier and gruesome. The gameplay trailer also showed that the game is gory but beautifully brutal, especially among gamers and avid fans of the franchise.
Gamers who have pre-ordered “Mortal Kombat X” also have the brute Goro as bonus playable character.
It is likely that NetherRealm will be selling Goro as a purchasable character, along with several others, after “Mortal Kombat X” is officially rolled out on April 14, 2015.
For those wanting to get Goro, all they need to do is to simply pre-order “Mortal Kombat X” through the local GAME and they will be able to play the fan favorite Kombatant.
After viewing the gameplay trailer, one gamer gave “Mortal Kombat X” praises, saying that it is looking better and better every time a new edition is released. He hopes that “Mortal Kombat X” shall also have a good story because a fighting game must also strive on a decent story.
The fan also noted that the combat flows much better than in previous editions of the game and that he looks forward to the kind of gruesome deaths of fatalities that NetherRealm has come up with for “Mortal Kombat X.”
