That's mainly due to casual fans playing the story mode and that's about it - the online is ALWAYS dead a few weeks after an MK release. But, just because it sold 15mil copies, that doesn't mean it's a good game. 'Tekken 7' sold the same amount, and it's by far a better game than MK11 on ALL fronts.

The difference between the main and kameo versions of Kung Lao makes me picture a story where the kameos are "echoes" of the original timeline created by Fire God Liu Kang and characters meeting their alternate selves cause shenanigans to ensue, like kameo Mileena corrupting main Mileena or both versions of Shang Tsung and/or Shao Khan teaming up to take over both worlds.

Kenshi: I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING

[@alwaysxnever]

I love the art direction and I appreciate that the animations look better than they ever have. I'm such a dork though. I don't jive with all the gore but love the characters and the lore. 😂

[@pjbpiano]

What’s the lore without the gore!?!?!?

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

Yah I agree, the gore is just too much for me when it's repeated over and over. Just kind of want to see the fatalities once or twice then move on rather than bake them into my brain. NR kills the story though and this looks like a very cool continuation of the events of MK11 aftermath while also cleaning the slate.

[@DJMC19]

These Fatalities look fucking wild though

[@nerakar6562]

I don’t mind the gore but I don’t think you’re alone actually I think the gore is honestly mostly for the new casual audience that are not used to it but I feel like for true MK fans, fatalities and finishing moves especially are the least exciting part of the games but it’s also the number one thing for casuals lol

[@kevinkara6925]

I can't wait to see the skins and the customization for the characters i hope u can customize more than u could in MK11

[@dpyxl]

love the classic 90s vibes.. wow the memories and fun of the original game..

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

These are definitely the best fatalities the series has ever seen. So visceral, no playing around there lol.

[@randomcatname7792]

Yeah I like when they zoom in on Dood's face and it says friendship. I can't believe they put that in the game

[@bayupermana31]

It looks like Mileena is not originally mixed with Baraka’s clan and is the princess instead of Kitana. That’s interesting, I wanna see their dynamic because of that

[@UFunnyLowe]

Looks like there’s a disease that turns people into tarkatan or they don’t exist and the disease makes you turn into them

[@bayupermana31]

Or maybe Mileena still like that? Oh I love the possibilities they made in this game

[@OctopusH2O]

It looks like she has a disease like a vampire instead of being a tarakatan clone

[@Ramsey276one]

4:30 that was some HARDCORE COOKING XD

[@Kiyosuki]

I'm really excited about this. The gameplay looks fast and the inclusion of legitimate aerial combos is really going to redefine the pace. The cameo characters for the support attacks, many of which obviously not being "canon" but who gives a damn is great. Team up supers make me wonder how many variables there'll actually be in the final game. Most of all I really, really wanted them to hammer home that this is a new universe after 11 definitively completed all the original stuff, and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing. Scorpion and Sub Zero being brothers (Scorpion working for Liu Kang makes sense too since he's the fire god.), Mileena and Kitana's whole dynamic looks flipped(plus restored Edenia!), Kenshi seems to be some sort of businessman or pro assassin, Kung Lao is brawler main character man. And Johnny Cage. (though he reminds me a lot of his movie incarnation, which I'm down for.) Most of all Raiden as a young human man just beginning his journey. Also everyone looks slick as hell. A+ character design so far all around.

[@JahlisMan]

"looks fast"? have you ever played MKX? or even 9?

[@DrangusKahn]

Looks like MvC1+Injustice more than MK...

Fire game that is a definite in for fighting games to me. Played 11 and found it fun offline but online was okay, fighterz had me in the down time. Mortal Kombat 1 gonna be my start into this world for real.

Gotta laugh that the fire alarm at Johnny's place when Liu Kang shows up.

[@ImHumbucker]

Did anybody else get a bit of a Killer Instinct vibe with the gradual dynamic camera movement, the air Kombos and just how heavy the hits look?

[@KombatRacer]

As a Stryker fan, I never thought we would ever see his MK3 costume in action again.

I like how stage select lets you choose between Day and Night.
