Are you ready to continue the fight? Warner Bros have today announced that Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will be coming real soon – and it will be bringing with it RoboCop!
Continuing the epic MK saga with new playable characters, stage fatalities, Klassic Arenas and more, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will be available on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia come 4pm BST on the 26th May 2020.
After the huge success of Mortal Kombat 11, you could forgive Warner Bros and NetherRealm Studios for taking their foot off the gas, but with the arrival of Aftermath, that is far from the truth. Expanding on the base game, the epic saga continues in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, as Fire God Liu Kang, the new keeper of time and protector of Earthrealm, must now enlist the help of unlikely allies and familiar foes to forge a new history as the fate of two worlds hang in the balance.
This will see the growing roster of playable fighters expanding even more with the new expansion featuring the triumphant return of Fujin, the God of Wind who serves as Earthrealm’s protector alongside his brother Raiden, and Sheeva, the four-armed, half-human and half-dragon queen of the ancient Shokan race. RoboCop – yep, THE RoboCop, the iconic, highly advanced cybernetic police officer – will also make his first appearance in the franchise, continuing the pedigree of popular Mortal Kombat guest fighters. What’s more, RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will feature the voice and likeness of actor Peter Weller, who played the part in both the original RoboCop film and in 1990’s RoboCop 2.
Further to that, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath will also include three new character skin packs to be released over time.
But hey, we’re not done there and all Mortal Kombat 11 owners will also gain access to new Stages, including the return of the Klassic Dead Pool and Soul Chamber arenas, accompanied by Stage Fatalities, the fan-favourite finishing moves that use the environment to destroy opponents, and the popular Friendships feature from the ‘90s, which allows players to take down their adversaries with a hint of kindness. These will be available as a free content update that is to be found occurring in conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath release.
“Our fans have really enjoyed the story campaign in Mortal Kombat, and we’re happy to continue the narrative and add new characters to the roster with Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “In addition, Friendships and Stage Fatalities are being added as part of the free content update for all Mortal Kombat 11 players. Both are fan-favourite features that we’re excited to finally bring back to the franchise.”
