Noob Saibot Confirmed for Mortal Kombat 11
Here’s the brutal reveal trailer for yet another playable character in the upcoming fighting game.
By Jay Gervais
Making his way to the competition is none other than Noob Saibot, who was confirmed earlier today to be appearing as a playable character in next month’s Mortal Kombat 11.
Veteran fans will know Saibot was actually the original Sub-Zero in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game, and first became playable under his usual name in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. He is the older sibling of the current Sub-Zero, which explains why the latter refers to him as his brother in the reveal trailer. Anyway, why not take a slice out of your day and check out the kick-ass video above for yourself?
As you may recall, also revealed to be in the game this week was Kotal Kahn, who had his unveiling invaded by another playable character, Jacqui Briggs. Suffice to say, she serves the Emperor of Outworld a serious ass-whooping and leaves his dead body to rot.
This game 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, 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 case you need an overview of what has been revealed for the game thus far, we have that for you right here. Earlier this month, we were given a story trailer, which showed off more of the game’s plot and Kronika’s intentions to manipulate the series’ timeline by clashing the events of the past, present, and future with one another, along with the revealing of Cassie Cage as a playable character.
To nobody’s surprise at all, Johnny Cage was revealed late last month as being an addition to the roster of fighters. The character has appeared in every installment of the series’ main line of games, except for his infamous absence from 1995’s Mortal Kombat 3, which caused quite a stir at the time and still remains an unforgiven blunder for some fans.
Also revealed in February was Jade, whose appearance in the game was speculated on for a couple months. Needless to say, the wait was worth it and her reveal trailer packed quite the punch. In addition to that news, we also learned in February that Kabal, D’Vorah, and Kano were appearing in the game as well. However, only Kabal was worthy enough of the three to be chosen for his own reveal trailer.
January’s reveal event came packed with quite a few surprises as well, which you can look at the rundown for here. That event showed us more of what we can expect from the gameplay, demonstrating some brutal character finishers while also including the story prologue highlighting how the events of Mortal Kombat X will influence this new entry in the series. Also revealed at this event was Geras, who is a brand-new face to the series, along with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar Ronda Rousey voicing the character of Sonya Blade, who will also be playable in this title.
Lastly, you can go back and view the announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat 11, which was unveiled last year at The Game Awards in December. It’s still a worthy watch, even if you have seen it already, but we’re still not over whoever chose that terribly mismatched song for the trailer. Hopefully somebody finished that track off with a brutal fatality when it came time to finalize the product.
Mortal Kombat 11 releases worldwide 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!
