If you've been itching for plenty of juicy info nuggets regarding Mortal Kombat X, then today's your lucky day. The team behind the upcoming fighter features in the game's newest trailer, and it's stuffed full of details about the title's modes, development, and storyline.
Speaking about the latter, creative director Ed Boon mentions that the release's plot will span 25 years, and as such, you'll get to see how the cast chops and changes throughout. As for new modes, it sounds like the brawler will offer up plenty of content to get your bloodied hands on, including traditional one-on-one online matchups, survivor, king of the hill, and even dynamic towers that the developer plans on tweaking hourly to keep things fresh.
On top of all that, you'll need to pick a faction before hopping online. By performing specific feats in battle, you'll contribute to an ongoing weekly faction war, where the goal is to earn your clan fame and glory. The best part, though, is that you'll be able to earn faction points through any of the title's modes, so no matter how you decide to mutilate your opponents, you'll always be contributing to your new family. How thoughtful.
It's sounding like a heck of a lot of effort is going into Mortal Kombat's latest instalment, but will you be entering the arena this year? Show off your own fatality in the comments section below.

it takes 25 years? I think this might just be the longest game ever made. I don't think people will have enough to finish before they die.
(Note: I apologize for this truely horrible joke.)
@Jaz007 You'd really be getting your money's worth then!
Nice, also worth mentioning that Brutalities 2:30
Can't wait! Loving MK since the first game!
How does the story last 25 years when half your combatants die every fight?
For a game coming out on PS3 and Xbox 360 they spent a lot of time talking about how this can only be done on next gen. What's last gen getting, match - 3 games?
Too many Xbox controllers, not enough PS ones.
Interesting. Well, I'm curious about the story now.
To me, the faction part sounds like how teams were in Tekken Tag 2, but with gang wars involved. I also wonder how many factions there are.
The video isn't working for me, so I have no idea if what I pondered is answered.
Pre ordered!!!
Loved the story for the last game
Interesting about the story. I liked what they did with the last one, and that was my favorite fighting game of the last gen so MKX is definitely a must buy. Just going with the standard edition of the game though, those Collector Editions don't seem to bring much to the table for the extra $.
