New Kombat Kast, this one detailing 3rd variations for the cast and a mysterious new game mode. If you couldn't watch for yourself on Netherrealm's Twitch, then read on for a brief breakdown of what they discussed.
So as it goes in life, it was at the exact start of the Kast that I received a work call. Notes are going to be a bit sparse here, but the new mode announced is kind of a Boss Rush mode. 3 players fight a boss at the same time to work down his health bar. Challenges can be completed to give everyone buffs and you get rewards based on how well you did, on top of whatever tower rewards were available. This is going to be added to the Towers of Time.
Right from there, they got into the new variations:
-Shang Tsung is going to get a variation with his ninja moves
-Frost gets a variation with more zoning tools
-Johnny gets a variation with his old force balls
-Jax gets a variation with new strings that open up combo routes
-Sub-Zero gets a move that acts like the ice clone
-Liu Kang gets a teleport and command grab
-Scorpion gets an old school jump punch and Misery Blade
-Sonya gets her drone
-Nightwolf gets some new specials, including his Spirit Tracks
-Jade gets a reflect and teleport
-Kitana (universally) can amp her air fans for new combo routes, new krushing blow, the Fan-a-do and a low fan projectile
-Kotal gets access to new totems and the amplified sun disk
-Jacqui gets new aerial moves
-Kung Lao gets Great Kung Lao moves, which have been buffed from customs
-Erron Black gets a bear trap and the acid pour special
-Shao Kahn gets new spear based moves
-Noob gets new combo routes
-Cetrion can access her elemental buffs
-Kano gets Snakebite and the laser eye
-Cassie gets new bullet based specials
-Kabal gets the gas blast and AA grab
-Geras can rewind time now
-Kollector gets the chakram
Patch notes are coming out later today with details on everything else they didn't want to cover. Derek announced new holiday themed towers that will come with holiday themed consumables. So that was it for today, I'll update the thread with the notes when live. There will be a Kast next week as well, aiming for same time next Wednesday.
