Mortal Kombat X Story Trailer Released - Featuring Many Character Reveals

Name v.5.0

Iowa's Finest.
So are we to take away from this that Mileena, with the talisman, is the big bad of the game?

Clearly several people are fighting for the throne in Outworld, but I cant tell what's really going on. What's up with Shinnok?

I just fucking died.

PLEASE TELL ME THAT SHINNOK WILL BE PLAYABLE AND NOT SOME CUTSCENE AT THE BEGINNING. HOW IS RAIN NOT FRIED TO CRISPY BITS? DOES JACQUELINE BRIGGS HAVE METAL ARMS? IS IT BI HAN OR KUAI LANG, YOU'VE JUST CONFUSED ME MORE. MAYBE IT'S THE BOTH OF THEM BUT THEY USE DIFFERENT OUTFITS. OH MY. MY HEART. MY HEART.

From what I saw, we have Shinnok, Takeda, Sindel, Rain, Erron Black, Mileena, Jacqueline Briggs, Takashi and Kung Jin.

Now, we don't know if they're all playable yet, but I think that's all the new characters in the video.
For some reason my gut it telling me Shinnok, Sindel and Rain aren't playable. I have no reason to say that but just gut instinct. I pray that my intuition is wrong.

So, from the looks of it, we have these CONFIRMED characters (are the all playable, I'm not sure):

Jacqui
Kung Jin
Takeda
Rain
Shinnok
Scorpion (sans mask)
Sub-Zero (sans mask)
Baraka
Mileena (possible BIG BAD?!)
Erron Black

HOLY SHIT!!!

Didn't James say Kung Jin is the archer character we saw on the challenge tower?
Maybe. I try not to pay attention to James when he's feeling some kind of way about things on twitter. If all of his leaked roster info turns out to be true, I will gladly hold that.

Shinnok is lookin' BOIST.

Man, I don't know about you, but I feel like there's a bit more than five reveals in this thing...

Still no Goro footage. NRS loves to bust some balls.

MKA Rain lives! This costume is so bad though.


And is this posessed Kitana? Or Jade? Nah...

NRS, I NEED to know who's playable in this trailer.

You are KILLING me here.

Do you want to give me hope... *sniff* and take it AWAY?!

Yeah I doubt all of them are playable. If I had to guess, those who were singled out by name in the trailer are almost surely going to be playable (ie everyone that was with Cassie at the beginning). Wouldn't make much sense to invest so much in them when they are non playable. So that means Jacqui, Kung Jin, and Takeda (I don't think there's anyone named "Takashi." He's just called "Takashi Takeda."). It's safe to say Mileena will be playable too.

I would certainly hope Erron Black will be playable but I'm not sure. He's a new character so it would make sense for him to be playable since they bothered investing in him. But I could be wrong.

Sindel and Rain are big question marks for me. Again, purely speculating, but out of the above named bunch, they're the two characters unlikely to be playable. Not sure what to make of Shinnok but I'm guessing he'll have a major part.

Boon said there were "5 new character reveals" on twitter. The obvious ones are: Takeda, Kung Jin, Jacqui and Mileena. That's 4. Which leaves us with Erron Black, Shinnok, Sindel and Rain. Three of them will be unplayable.

That design is similar to his MKA look, but it's not the same.

Lord Boon, tell me Rain is in.
