Mortal Kombat 11 was initially unveiled at The Game Awards in 2018, and is set to splash down onto PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on April the 23rd, 2019. A Switch release will be landing later in the year, on the 10th of May, 2019.
Mortal Kombat 11 trailers
A gameplay trailer was also earlier this year, highlighting some of the brutality you’ll be unleashing in the 11th game in the series.
In addition, a story trailer shows off some of the narrative beats and events you can expect in the campaign.
Gameplay
Mortal Kombat 11 continues the series’ tradition of 2.5D combat, with stalwarts such as familiar Brutalities and Fatalities making a welcome return. In addition, new gameplay elements such as Fatal Blows, Krushing Blows, and Flawless Blocks, will make their debut in this entry.
Fatal Blows will allow you to unleash a devastating move when a player’s health drops below 30%, once a match. Krushing Blows are cinematic variations of special moves, triggered upon completion of certain requirements. Flawless Blocks will allow you to counterattack after blocking an attack with flawless timing.
A new gear system is coming to Mortal Kombat 11, focusing on bringing cosmetics to the game. Tired of your character’s looks? You can now change it up while staying with the same fighter. You will be able to also set up custom move lists, further customising your fighter.
These cosmetics can be earned in-game, but also via spending real money on time crystals. These crystals will unlock cosmetics, and also allow players to simplify button presses for Fatalities. These time crystals can also be earned in-game through play.
