Warner Bros and NetherRealm Studios today revealed the new Mortal Kombat 11 Old Skool vs. New Skool Trailer, showcasing a variety of past and present characters from the rich Mortal Kombat history who meet up as part of the time-bending new narrative.
As the press release reads, through the immersive story mode, players take on the role of numerous fighters from different eras, culminating in the ultimate generational clash as current characters collide with their alternate selves.
Additionally, a number of fan-favorite fighters were revealed today as the latest playable characters coming to Mortal Kombat 11, including Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Jax Briggs.
- Liu Kang, the greatest of the Shaolin monks, was an orphan adopted and trained in the arts of combat by the Shaolin order. He was handpicked by Raiden to be Earthrealm’s Mortal Kombat champion and chief defender.
- Kung Lao joined the Shaolin monks in a quest to become Earthrealm’s new Mortal Kombat champion. Reckless and rebellious, but courageous and indomitable, Kung Lao fights to prove worthy of his glorious ancestors.

Easily the most interested I have been for a fighting game since 1995 when Mortal Kombat 3 came out.
Spot on. Trawling stores now to see whether I can catch up story wise with MK X. Thankfully I’d completed the MK IX some years ago so not too badly off.
yeah right, as if you weren’t hyped about X and XL.
I think you mean 9 & X. And no not even close. 9 turned out way better than I was anticipating and X was a slight disappointment compared to 9 but 11 looks way way better than both 9 & X ever did.
it’s just progress man, think about it. Each one looked good for it’s time.
11 seems more of a step up than X was over 9. Many would even argue that X was a step down compared to 9.
come on look at some screens, 9 had no detail, the textures were low res and slapped on by a dev on it’s holiday.
I was not just talking about visuals. I was talking about the overall games. That includes characters, fun factor, story etc. From what it looks like it will be.
11>9>X
