New ‘Mortal Kombat X’ Trailer Confirms Kitana, Kung Lao, and GORO!

Raise your hand if you actually forgot it’s 2015 a few times so far. Anyone? Anyone? Just me? I’m going nuts, aren’t I?

A new year means new everything, including new games! Mortal Kombat X is coming April 14, and this new trailer confirms a few returning fan favorites: Kitana, Kung Lao, and yes, motherfucking GORO.

I knew some fan favorites had to return, but I thought the game would predominantly feature brand new characters. Not that Mortal Kombat is a literary masterpiece, but it does have a large sandbox universe to play with. The idea of playing characters who are the children or successors of established ones — like Cassie Cage — intrigues me. There’s lineage! There’s history! There are new fighting styles! But after looking at the character list on Wikipedia, the ratio to new to returning seems like those new characters are just novelty.

But hey, who isn’t excited to play Kitana, Kung Lao, and Goro? Goro, motherfuckers!

Who are you excited to play as? Let us know!
