As sure as day follows night, a new Mortal Kombat game was always on the cards. Mortal Kombat 11 was announced last night at the Game Awards, showcasing the next evolution of this ultra-violent fighting franchise.
Due to arrive on April 23rd, 2019, Mortal Kombat 11 is a direct continuation of the series’ long-running and convoluted story. The big change that NetherRealm Studios’ is keen to shout about is the new Customer Character Variation System, allowing players to have total control over building their very own fights.
In the MK11 reveal trailer we see Dark Raiden and Scorpion face off in a bloody battle, which as far as fighting rosters go doesn’t really get much more iconic.
“It’s exciting to finally announce Mortal Kombat 11 and showcase what the team has been working on,” said Ed Boon, creative director, NetherRealm Studios. “Our Custom Character Variation System opens up an infinite amount of options for players to personalize their favorite fighters. We can’t wait until January when we’ll be showing more of the game.”
“By giving players more creative control, Mortal Kombat 11 is a testament to why this iconic franchise is so strong and increasingly relevant after more than 25 years,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “This game showcases NetherRealm Studios’ extensive talent to innovate and create epic experiences for the Mortal Kombat fans and new players alike.”
Mortal Kombat 11 is out on April 23, 2019, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and, yes, PC!

oh god... as much as i am hyped for the new MK XI that song in the trailer is just horrible... it doesn't fit in a MK style like at all... i was expecting something close to the theme song but not this time :(
a bit disappointed there
PC Specs
You and 95% of the youtube commenters... xD
PC Specs
blood looks amauzing in this trailer if they made it in game atleast close to that it would be great, there is not much gore games out there sadly
PC Specs
THANK ME LATER
PC Specs
indeed much better
PC Specs
Way better! Thanks! XD
PC Specs
Thank me too XD
PC Specs
It's where you realize that you clap much faster to old school MORTAL KOMBAT!!! and not that crap which was shown on awards. Seriously, what a wtf generation. Both versions are good but original always takes the cake.
PC Specs
Crap song for the trailer
PC Specs
MK11 - where the music draws you in to see how crappy it just keeps getting.
its like when howard stern got to new york and people tuned in just to see what he was going to do next.
PC Specs
This new Avengers trailer looks weird.
PC Specs
Trailer was good, It's MK after all. But what the hell was with the music?
The dude sounds like he's half asleep and is forced to sing, if you can call it singing. I don't understand how people find this kind of rap interesting in any way whatsoever. It's just mumbling with a beat.
PC Specs
I think it's actually called "mumble rap"
PC Specs
Well that's just amazing.
PC Specs
Mumble rap is a thing but that up there ain't mumble rap, at least to my ears, I can hear every word he's saying crystal clear lol
PC Specs
This is definitely not mumble rap even I can here words, but it might be a case of just bad rapping/bad song.
PC Specs
Whatever it is, it's bad and doesn't fit MK in the slightest... It's probably the devs going "Hello, children! Look at this hip and cool thing!" xD
PC Specs
I don't mind it, it's better than those god-awful slow covers they put on every game trailer for a 5-year period
PC Specs
I feel inclined to say that I'd prefer the Spongebob Squarepants themesong to this. Personal tastes and all that. Don't need to listen to (c)rap to feel "cool", you know xD
In reality it just needs a bangin tune. Dubstep would work, so would something in the metal variety. Just not...whatever this is...
PC Specs
This is the kind of Bad publicity that EA and Bethesda wished they had.
PC Specs
This "music" is terrible... Just read the youtube comments, 90% of them, if not more, are about the poor choice of (c)rap for this trailer... xD
Seriously.. why would you mention a Glock 19 in an "original song" for this Mortal Kombat trailer???
PC Specs
Wait! its an original song ..why would they spend money on a song that in no way represents the game or its characters ..its extremely out of place in d trailer
PC Specs
I have no idea why anyone would pay someone for this, let alone have it made for this particular trailer... I really hope the game won't have this sort of "music". Otherwise modders will have a lot of work to do to make the game good again xD
PC Specs
Ok...Who the hell chose the song? :D
