And just the other week I was wondering that MK9 would be the last ever game...

Such an amazing news that there is going to be a PS3 version, I don't have to buy a PS4 just yet!

Of course Scorpion & Sub-Zero are the first ones to be confirmed as no MK will ever be released without them, but what's the story going to be like? Will it be 4-DA-D merged? Or a completely new plot continuing the MK9 story mode? Can they afford to leave out old characters and include Reiko, Jarek, Mavado, Frost etc? So many questions for the next year...

[Noob Saibot]

Finally a new Mortal Kombat. The trailer looks amazing, can't say I am a big fan of the soundtrack, but it kind of grows on me after the 10th replay

Can't wait to find out more.

Btw why is Sub-Zero always loosing to Scorpion when they fight in trailers It's not fair

[roboronald10]

I saw the trailer this morning through IGN and holy shit, I was amazed.

I don't know what the storyline would be like, but right now, I'm very interested in the new concept of having multiple variations of each character. So can we expect to see a slow, heavy-hitting moveset for Scorpion and perhaps a version where he's much more agile with fast, but not so damaging moveset for Scorpion? That's what I think so I could be wrong.

And I'm surprised they're releasing this next year. Mortal Kombat only came out in 2011 and they just released Injustice: Gods Among Us last year, so seeing as they have a good year and a half, I just hope it isn't rushed. Deception and Armageddon seemed like they were, but they were still fun nonetheless. I'm looking forward to a hell of a game and I can't wait to come back to be active again, speculating new characters, who will be on the roster, any DLC, any story plots and the such

BEST TRAILER EVER!!!

Btw why is Sub-Zero always loosing to Scorpion when they fight in trailers It's not fair

Because Scorpion is Ed Boon's Fav :S

yeah, I'd like to say that's unfair. I mean, sub-zero is as badass as scorpion and also as powerfull. I would really like to see a bunch of trailers with sub zero winning and losing (I mean, take this trailer as an example, scorpion won, but the next triler sould be about sub-zero winning) but unfortunately, that is not going to happen with Mr. Boon's fanboyness to scorpion

[LordSpleach]

I'm already getting sick of this fanboy nitpicking of "Why does Sub-Zero always have to die in trailers?"

Boo hoo

Shut up

Enjoy the fact that we ARE getting a new MK.

Besides Sub-Zero usually has good endings for his story.

The different variation of a characters and the original story are the two big question marks right now. More information should be revealed on E3 next week. Man, I picked a wrong week for my vacation,I guess I will travel with all the needed things to update the site

I really hope, the story continues the storyfrom Mortal Kombat 2011 and does not start something new or alternative. What do you guys think?

[minisubzero628]

Well I love the look of the new game, but I'm worried it will be to much like injustice. I like injustice but I found the interaction with the background a feature that was so easily spammed. It reminds me like mk 4. Think about it looks like it's 2-d but in a 3-d world and it seems after Sub Zero threw Scorpion into a tree, they seemed to shift diagonally. Also the weapons on the floor that can be dropped is another feature of mk4. I just can't wait for the story. I've been waiting to see what will happen next for some time. In the end mk is back and looking better than ever!

i don't know the previously games' storylines (tho i started watching your awesome videos about the franchise's history) but i doubt it'll continue the storyline of mk9...since almost everybody died :p

but if they won't continue, that shinnok line was senseless.... so idk
btw. looking forward to it. i hope i'll have a better pc so i'll be able to enjoy the mods you guys will (hopefully) create

Yes, a lot of "classic" characters died, but that includes Sub-Zero yet we've seen him in the trailer (plus not even in his cyber form) so it's up to anyone's guess.

[superfamoso]

well, I have a theory:
Sub-Zero may have respauned from hell as a spectre, like scorpion (that may explain the glowing eyes and kind of "evil" look) as his soul isn't a machine (yeah, he may have appeared in netherrealm as a cyborg, but that was a mistake, like Jax's arms, as prosthesis are not a natural part of the human body)

[Danny]

^I hope that's not the case, because that's just more or less a rehash of the Noob Saibot concept.

It is also possible "classic" Sub-Zero is just in the game as an alternate version or whatever, unrelated to the story. Can they release a MK game without Kung Lao, Jax, Kabal, Stryker, Nightwolf, Sindel, Kitana, Jade, Smoke or Shang Tsung as at least one of them being available as a playable character anyway?
