Mortal Kombat 11 bringing extra ultraviolence in April

The spine-ripping, heart-stabbing, tooth-smashing, face-eating supernatural superkillers of Mortal Kombat will return subsequent 12 months in Mortal Kombat 11, introduced at the moment. The foremost new options on this subsequent combating game, so far as I can inform, are ultraviolence that’s much more wince-inducing and dressing up your murderers like fairly dolls. Observe, a cinematic announcement trailer follows.

That’s ultraviolence alright. For extra particulars, over to the blurb:

“The all new Custom Character Variations give you unprecedented control to customize the fighters and make them your own. The new graphics engine showcasing every skull-shattering, eye-popping moment, brings you so close to the fight you can feel it. And featuring a roster of new and returning Klassic Fighters, Mortal Kombat’s best in class cinematic story mode continues the epic saga over 25 years in the making.”

I might be sorely upset if this dressing up doesn’t stroll the identical joyous, merry, unsettling, and just not right path of combating games like Soulcalibur VI and Tekken 7. It gained’t, will it. It’ll simply be just like the gentle gear system in Injustice 2, gained’t it. Ah nicely.

Mortal Kombat 11 is because of hit Steam on April 23rd, priced at £50/€60/$60. It’s made by NetherRealm Studios, who’ve been engaged on the collection since 2011’s reboot, and printed by Warner Bros.

Tonight’s announcement got here from The Game Awards, the ‘Oscars but video games’ marketing-o-rama the place builders gave out awards after displaying trailers for his or her games.
