The Mortal Kombat X Launch Trailer is Brutal As F*@!

Some video game launch trailers seek to tug on your heart strings with retro and iconic character returns, locking you on for the title that will hit shelves soon, and ultimately, free you of your pre-order money. The Mortal Kombat X launch trailer pushes you into a corner and rips your heart out of your chest, shows it to you and then sits you down on the comfiest couch, promising to hang onto your heart while you play, lest you choke on it in mid-Fatality. See..they love you, but it's an unhealthy love.

Mortal Kombat X combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game’s most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together.
