Well, since I already announced it, let me go ahead and tell you about this game...
So the trailer opens up with our two iconic characters from the series, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, battling against each other again. This time, they're doing things we've never seen them do before, such as ripping branches off of trees and using them to bash the other's brains out, twirling around on branches like they're a gymnast, and Sub-Zero throws his ice clone. HE THROWS HIS ICE CLONE!
Of course, you have the fatalities looking as beautiful as ever.
We then come across this:
The heck are these guys? There's four of them! Well... (Do note, we got no bios yet, just descriptions!)
Ferra/Torr
The next two character in one fighter. Ferra is the little midget woman who can torture Torr to make him more aggressive in fights, or be used as a weapon for him to throw at opponents.
Kotal Kahn
A god-like warrior who shares similarities to an Aztec god. He is the only known descendant of Shao Kahn (uh oh). He enjoys feasting on blood, so be careful when he's hungry!
D'Vorah
A female bug-like creature. She can fly, throw larva, and is bald. I must say, she is one of the best new looking characters I've seen so far!
Cassie Cage
I am not lying when I say she is the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, you heard me right. She is the daughter of fan fiction that came to life.
As of right now, the only thing about the story for this game is that it's going on a span of 25 years after 2011's story. What will we discover? Most importantly, how is Sub-Zero human when we saw him die as a cyborg? Meh, time will tell.
We're going to have at least the same amount of characters as 2011, and even a bit more, so we're looking at an estimate of thirty characters! I am completely satisfied with that number, especially after hearing that we're going to be introduced to more new characters! Many are puzzled as to what fate lies in store with the favorites, but as I said before, time will tell.
So we have fatalities, we also have the x-rays returning, but we're shown a new feature called Variations. Each character has three different variations for them. It's a change up to their fighting. So let's say you're playing as Scorpion. You have the option to either use summoned demons to use at your disposal, you can be a sword fighter, or you can use the ability of fire to burn your opponent. I say it's much better to have rather than just learning a bunch of combos in the same old stance!
The arenas are also new. We have the Kove, the Outlands Market, and the Frozen Forest to name a few. As of right now the Outlands Market is my favorite for two reasons: You can jump on a tiger, and you can throw an old woman named Blanche at your opponent. Yeah, did I mention that you can use your surroundings as weapons? See a barrel flashing? Just pick it up and hurl it at your opponent! You can even jump off of buildings and objects in the area to escape a possible attack from your opponent! They really did a great job with these arenas, it's much better to have interactive arenas rather than something just for show.
There's so much more news coming that I cannot possibly cover in one sitting. So when we get more news, I'll make sure to update. And I'll do a better job with the updating unlike how I did with the E3 stuff. Whoopsies!
