MAIN FACTS AND PARTIAL TRANSLATION OF ARTICLE:
(as said, its written kinda weird and easily misunderstandable, its clear they dont really give shit about rock solid info but mix facts and wishful speculation in a manner that it sounds good for people who are not deeply into MK stuff but makes it hard to tell whats fact and whats fiction for people who already gathered every bit of info that is out there. Most of the info in the OP is correct, not sure about everything though)
Characters:
kano is in
"kano will have familiar as well as new stuff, aside from the allrounder there will be a version which focuses on wrestling attacks" it is not known if he will have his eye laser yet. he and raiden were both not playable in their version, but unlike cage/sonya/kang he seems to be officially confirmed to be playable, maybe as exclusive info for this mag.
"Kotal Kahn, who will be revealed to be Shao Kahn's son in the story mode [...]". he seemed sluggish in the beginning but after they warmed up even a bit overpowered.
his home stage is maya oriented (south american jungle)
D'vorah has an acid attack (squishing one of her bugs) which can be charged/delayed (and god help us if cancelled. say hi to kabal.)
boon confirms there will be multiple versions of johnny cage, sonya blade and liu kang in the game, but not in which mode. the whole part goes like this:
"Aging Martial Artists:
As mentioned before, the background strory of MKX will span over multiple decades.
We as players won't only witness, how the offspring of the MK-fighters grow up, but also how the familiar heroes age.
Ed Boon told us in an interview that there will indeed be multiple Versions of Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Liu Kang.
Liu Kang? Sure. Let's not lie to ourselves, even though the Shaolin monk hsant been announced yet, the Mortal Komnbat
posterboy will for sure be playable. According to Boon the aged fighters will not just differ look-wise from their younger versions,
but also play a bit different and use moves that none of the other incarnations has. Even though boon doesnt tell how exactly the old fighters
are integrated into the game, we strongy expect them not to be separate characters, but one of the versions in the roster screen.
If the story mode is like in the predecessor, the game gives us a specific character for each chapter - different age
character versions are the smallest of problems here and will for sure be unlocked in the versus-manu after playthrough."
(note by me: the last bit is a lot of speculation and i gotta admit i dont really know much more than before. but the fact that different age versions
also have diferent movesets makes the mentioned chars likely to be playable)
there WILL be (a) guest character(s)
Gameplay:
enhanced moves require strict timing (unlike injustice. i wonder if as tough as mk vs dc)
"it is safe to say there will be stage fatalities. Ed Boon let us know by saying: "We havent announced anything like that yet, but i would be surprised if there were none."."
Misc:
they will try to release the game in germany but only uncut if so (yay)
NRS would like to do something different than fighting games/mk as next project after mkx (not an mk fps though)
Not ninjas.
