NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment reveald today that three more characters will be joining the growing roster of Mortal Kombat 11– Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Jax Briggs.
Fans who have played previous Mortal Kombat games will be pleased to see the return of these three characters.
Here’s an overview of each character, via NetherRealm Studios and WBIE:
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 – He 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 – He 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.
In addition, the company also released a new trailer, dubbed ‘Old Skool vs. New Skool’, that showcases a variety of past and present character from the world of Mortal Kombat. In the story mode alone, players will take on the role of numerous fighters from different areas as they uncover a new plot in the game. There will be fighters from different eras, culminating a generational clash as current characters collide with their alternate selves.
Mortal Kombat 11 will be available on April 23 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch. Don’t forget that there’s a closed beta that will begin later this week.
