Of course, it isn’t a Mortal Kombat game without fatalities, and both characters have some sweet ways to “Finish Them.” Johnny essentially punches a hole through the loser’s chest, looks through it and exclaims, “Here’s Johnny.” Kenshi’s was particularly brutal with him using his telekinesis to swing his blade like a helicopter blade, and then proceeding to slice the enemy into tiny pieces. Like in the previous game, Kenshi effortlessly blends hand-to-hand combat with sword-fighting. Kenshi, the blind swordsman, makes his grand return after being relegated to DLC in 2011’s Mortal Kombat. Johnny retains many of his special moves from Mortal Kombat X, though his fighting style changes dramatically thanks to his three combat variations. The Movie Star turned Special Forces agent will be joining his daughter, Cassie Cage, in battle. So, spoiler warning!įirst off, we can officially confirm that Johnny Cage and Kenshi will be playable characters. We tried out the arcade mode and the entire first chapter of the hotly anticipated story mode. We were able to go hands on with Mortal Kombat X on PS4 and Xbox One, and the mobile version on an iPad Air 2. NetherRealm has built anticipation steadily with various character, stage and story reveals, successfully creating an environment where everyone is genuinely excited for each new reveal, and boy did they reveal a lot at GDC 2015. Mortal Kombat X is mere weeks away, and you can feel the excitement building as we rush towards release.
