The cold November Rain
NetherRealm Studios got many aMortal Kombatfan giddy with its recent reveal, announcing thatMortal Kombat 11would not only be coming to next-gen platforms in November, but that the same month would see the arrival of three new kombatants:Mileena, Rambo, and Rain.
This morning, the bloodstained studio released a gameplay trailer for beloved Prince of Edenian, who made his last playable appearance – again as DLC – in 2011’s excellent release,Mortal Kombat. Recognised by his regal, purple attire, Rain can be considered the water element to Scorpion’s fire, Fujin’s wind, and… erm… Tremor’s earth. Rain is highly skilled in the command of all things aquatic, with the ability to distract, capture and devastate his foes with physics-defying water attacks.
While seemingly “just another ninja”, Rain has quite the kult following among theMKkommunity. While his fans do not carry quite the same level of toxicity of many of Mileena’s more rabid followers, Rain – like all Edenian kharacters – has a passionate and devoted army of players behind him, who will no doubt be very pleased with this new video.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimatewill contain the base game, theAftermathexpansion, and both Kombat Packs. It will launch for PC as well as current and next-gen consoles on November 17. Players who already ownMortal Kombat 11on PS4 or Xbox Onewill receive a free upgradeto PS5 or Xbox Series X should they pull the trigger on the next-gen hardware.
