Mortal Kombat X trailer: here's the story

It's time for Sub-Zero to tell you what's going on in the Mortal Kombat X universe. Weeks from release, Mortal Kombat X has nearly revealed "all" of its secrets. Of course there'll be no spilling of the guts of this entire game until its released – and all of its updates are released as well. For now you'll get a good look at what it means to participate in the 1-player mode. 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat (2011), a new generation of fighters joins in on the battle to save Earth Realm.

It's not just the classic Outworld that aims to bring heat to us mortals. New fighters join the fray – sons and daughters of the most elite fighters of the past.

Jaqueline Briggs – daughter of Jax. Cassie Cage, daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage. Takashi Takeda, son of Kenshi and Kung Jin, descendant of the one true Kung Lao.

There's going to be fighting – so very much fighting – and over 100 fatalities, of course. Lots and lots of fatalities. Earth Realm's Fate lies with you.

Have a peek in the timeline below to seek out more Mortal Kombat X details. We'll be checking this game out when it's released on April 11th!
