Mortal Kombat X revealed with trailer

Mortal Kombat X has officially been revealed with a trailer, and it's coming in 2015.

Platforms include PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and it'll come with new characters, modes and a completely new graphics engine.

"Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilise the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet," said creative director Ed Boon.

Mortal Kombat X will also offer a fully-connected experience where every fight matters in a persistent online contest.

Players will get to choose multiple variations of each character, and in turn this will impact the strategy and fighting style.

An original story will feature classic characters as well as new challengers, representing the forces of good and evil.

The debut trailer features old favourites Sub-Zero and Scorpion going at it in a fight to the death, and you can check that out below.

A new game in the franchise was teased earlier this week after a poster was leaked and series co-creator Ed Boon chose not to deny its authenticity.

This will be the first entry in the Mortal Kombat series of games since 2011.
