Story Trailer Highlights Latest Mortal Kombat 11 Updates

As we gear up for next month’s release of Mortal Kombat 11, hype for the title has been ramping up and an official story trailer was released earlier today. Have a look above for the video, which reveals more about the game’s story and Kronika’s intentions to manipulate the series’ timeline by clashing the events of the past, present, and future with one another.

Mortal Kombat 11 picks up immediately after the previous entry in the series, Mortal Kombat X, in which Raiden upsets the balance of history after beheading and killing Shinnok. These events prompt a new and mysterious character named Kronika, The Keeper of Time and one who’s apparently been watching over everything that's happened since the first game, to bring order to the universe by any means necessary.

In addition to this news, Cassie Cage was also revealed as the next character to join the game's ever-growing roster. She is the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, who are also both appearing in this game. Check out her reveal trailer below as she fights Kano to the death and, well, let’s just say the term “kicked in the nuts” is taken to a whole different level of hurt.

Mortal Kombat 11 releases worldwide later this year on April 23rd for all major platforms, which includes PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Stay tuned to Dead Entertainment for all the latest news on Mortal Kombat and the latest entry in the series!
