NetherRealm packed quite a punch in today's reveal event for
Mortal Kombat 11. The developer showed off a ton of brutal gameplay and introduced a few of the playable characters.
Gameplay from the event
showed what appeared to be 25 slots for characters, only eight of which were actually revealed. Among the familiar faces was series newcomer, Geras. Described as a "powerful and loyal servant" of Kronika, the Keeper of Time and the first female boss in the
Mortal Kombat series, Geras wields the ability to manipulate time. Additionally, as you can see in his character reveal trailer below, Geras is also able to conjure up objects made of sand.
Geras is one of eight fighters who have been confirmed for
Mortal Kombat 11 thus far. Scorpion and Raiden were shown off in the reveal trailer from The Game Awards this past December, while today's event offered our first look at Baraka, Sub-Zero, and Sonya Blade (voiced by WWE champion and UFC legend Ronda Rousey). NetherRealm also confirmed that Skarlet, the DLC character from
Mortal Kombat 9, will also return.
Feel every skull-shattering, eye-popping moment in the worldwide reveal of Mortal Kombat 11’s gameplay!
