No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
Mortal Kombat X is less than a month away, but it feels like its koming a lot sooner than that as NetherRealm revealed a ton of new details about the game during this past week. First, we got confirmation that Johnny Cage and Sonya will join the game as playable characters. Then came word that the first guest character will be Jason Voorhees. Jason’s machete also cut through the red tape to leak out a pair of additional character confirmations (Kenshi and Shinnok) and a delay in the PS3/Xbox 360 version of the game. Finally, a new episode of “Kombat Kast” gave us our first extended look at the game’s Story Mode.
Another famous fighting franchise got a boost in the minds of gamers as part of last weekend’s PAX East expo. Capcom teased that Street Fighter V will be released in Spring 2016, though that date is currently unofficial. Other PAX East revelations include a release date for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel‘s last expansion, a debut trailer for Killer Instinct‘s ghost girl, a Wii U release for Freedom Planet, a new trailer for Gigantic, and our first look at CliffyB’s Project BlueStreak.
Finally this week, UK Correspondent Andrew Rainnie has completed his dream casting of the proposed Legend of Zelda show on Netflix. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as he lists off his choices for Ganondorf and Zelda.
More news from the last seven days can be found after the break.
