Mortal Kombat 11 launch trailer ushers in a new era

A new era of Mortal Kombat is upon us now, with the impending release of NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat 11. In celebration of this fact, the developer, and its publishing partners at Warner Bros. Interactive, have combined to release the game’s hard-hitting launch trailer.

This promotional launch video features everything you’d expect of a Mortal Kombat trailer, including crippling punches, kicks and special moves, along with dark and comic-inspired story content. All of that as well as the series’ familiar theme song, ‘Techno Syndrome,’ which has been remixed for 2019 by international DJ, Dimitri Vegas and 2WEI.

In the trailer, Kronika, the Keeper of Time, has signaled for a new era to begin as she tries to rewind time to its beginning and restart history. In order to restore balance to the realms, players must take on the role of numerous fighters from different eras, culminating in the ultimate generational clash as current characters collide with their past selves. The launch trailer features both cinematic story moments coupled with crushing gameplay showcasing the growing roster of confirmed playable fighters in Mortal Kombat 11, including Scorpion, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Skarlet, Baraka, Geras, Kano, D’Vorah, Kabal, Jade, Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, Erron Black, Jacqui Briggs, Kotal Kahn, Noob Saibot, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jax Briggs, Cetrion, The Kollector, Kitana and Shao Kahn.

Mortal Kombat 11 will bring its fatalities to store shelves and digital marketplaces on April 23rd.
