Ermac may have started life as a mere Mortal Kombat bug, but he's very much a fully fleshed out fighter these days – and will be making his triumphant return in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat X on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. As promised, developer NetherRealm Studios announced the character as part of a livestream overnight, which followed the official confirmation of Reptile earlier in the week.
As with previous editions, the psychokinetic combatant will come with a variety of telekinetic grab and teleportation-based attacks; however, as with all of the other characters in this instalment, he'll have three different variations. One will see him using projectiles which hover around his body, while another will give him advanced telekinesis attacks. The last will allow him to temporarily fly, but this will come at a cost, because he won't be able to block.
Of course, he'll also have a fair few fatalities, including one which will see him rip off his opponent's head – and insert it back into their neck. During the broadcast, community specialist Tyler Lansdown hinted that there'd be another kind of 'ality' in the game – but he wouldn't be drawn on specifics. All will be revealed when the release fights its way into stores in April.

Sweet. Though honestly I'd like to see some newer characters at the moment, it's nice that they're giving veterans the spotlight too.
This game seems to be shaping up rather nicely.
Thought you would have the trailer here like PureXbox does.
oh, and not to be a d-bag, but that's the Ermac character model from the 2011 reboot, not Mortal Kombat X. Just saying. Personally I'm a big fan of his redesign in this new game!
@sinalefa My bad - video added.
Oh god, I hate his new design. You aren't supposed to see ninja faces!... Even though Sub Zero was entirely maskless for several games...
