Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have announced that Mortal Kombat X, the tenth game in the Mortal Kombat franchise, will be available on April 14. The game, which is in development for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, will explore the future of the Mortal Kombat mythos over a span of 25 years.
The publisher and developer have also announced that players who pre-order Mortal Kombat X will be able to play as Goro at launch. Presumably, the four-armed Shokan warrior (and champion of the original Mortal Kombat) will be available to all at a later date.
Goro will join the eight previously announced characters, which so far includes four newcomers (D’Vorah, Ferra/Torr, Kotal Kahn, and Cassie Cage) and four returning favorites (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, and Kano). Mortal Kombat X is expected to include at least 24 characters, so many more are sure to be announced before the game ships on April 14.
