The first half of next year is looking to be utterly bonkers for fans of Sony's super system. The latest title to be added to the hefty handful of already confirmed games is bloodthirsty brawler Mortal Kombat X. Indeed, Warner Bros recently announced that it will be hitting consoles worldwide starting from 14th April.
The publisher's wording is frustratingly vague, so it's a little unclear exactly how this release schedule will break down. However, we're guessing there won't be too much variance from that initial date. Oh, and four-armed fan favourite Goro has been confirmed to be a preorder bonus, which will presumably be specific to a handful of stores. So, er, you can get excited about that too, if you so desire.
Will you be picking up Mortal Kombat X, or - like this writer - have you never been able to stomach its incorrectly spelled title? Lets us know in the comments section below.

Im so pumped, i was just telling some one like a day or 2 ago that i bet MKX will be out early next year. Im ahuge mk fan, mk9 was alot of fun. Imo mk9 was one of my top 5 games of the 8 year last gen. Mkx will keep me goin for a while, at least till another great fighter comes along. Im so excited.
But what about the Wii U version??
^ That would be a joke.
Correction: pre-order bonus soon to be released as DLC, soon to be included on an inevitable Komplete Edition
Those bigger characters are never fun to play with anyways. Goro is not a good character to play as, but he's good to fight against. Same goes pretty much all other bosses or pre-boss characters.
@Demi_God Agreed, on MK Trilogy for instance playing with Motaro was fun... for two minutes.
All i need to know is which shop i need to pre-order from to get the bonus?
You mean this april?
@PoNY_LTD Yup, April 14th, 2015.
i have to say, i'm a little disappointed that developers aren't going next gen only with more titles, especially a full year after PS4/X1 are out.
I feel like releasing games on multiple generations of hardware is potentially holding back what the early adopters of next gen systems could be getting.
You need only look at AC:U vs AC Black Flag to see the difference. Or The Division vs say, Watch_Dogs. Next gen only games take much more advantage of the power of the systems, and I was under the impression MKX was next gen only as well. Oh well...
Oh bloody hell, I wouldn't normally be interested in any preorder bonus character but WB have put the one fighter I wanted to play as on...I'll wait till I see him in action & see how he plays.
@fchinaski thats this april tho right? Not next?
@PoNY_LTD I'm not a native speaker, but hasn't "this" April already passed? Anyway.
Steve from minecraft confirmed for mortal kombat x............lol jk
kudos to Kell, and Nicola on the previous article, for listing PS3 in the tile. PS3 rarely shows up in the title for games I want to play like LBP3 or recently announced DQ Heroes. Nice not to have to dig so hard to find out if I can play a game or not, PS4 purchase is still a couple of years out.
The last Mortal Kombat left me as cold as a snowman's armpit and this one is giving me the same feeling sadly Used to love these games.
Also WB/NR can get stuffed. Extra costumes or a special action figure I can let you off, but cutting a character out of a fighting game unless you pre-order? Pull your pants down ladies and gents. Get ready for the veiny shaft of cash extraction this gen.
@fchinaski im not ether, but still 🙈
I wasn't hyped for MK9 and then I played it and was blown away for me it felt like the MK I remembered as a kid came back.
Definitely hyped for X
Waiting for a VITA version then buy it.
Nice news. I will wait a couple of months for the inevitable price drop, or a few more months for the "Komplete" Edition. I know WB is fond of those, so no way I am paying $60 day 1 when I can pay $40 or less for the whole package if I am patient.
I have MK9 to scratch my MK itch anyway.
Goro have never been playable before right?
