The trailer looks absolutely incredible, along with the story-telling tension that only MK can create.

All the characters look amazing, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena, Raiden, Kitana, Great Kung Lao and Liu Kang, and Shang Tsung as well being the pre-order bonus. This is all fantastic and I can't wait.

IT HAS BEGUN!

This looks so amazing. Not a big fan of the name of the game though but everything else looks just awesome.

September cannot come fast enough :)

There seems to be some sort of discussion going around the community as to whether that is Shinnok's or Raiden's amulet (from MK9).
