Just a heads up that if you preordered from a retailer instead of digital then you’re basically fricked

Not sure what you mean. I preordered from Game Stop and have already been able to download the beta.

Played through tower mode with Liu Kang and Sub-Zero with Frost and Sonya as kameo characters. So far, I'd say the fatalities aren't as brutal as in MK11. Of course, we only see one per fighter at the moment so it could just be because these are the basic ones.

Ok I've now played with everyone.

Li Mei's fatality is awesome. The kameo throwback fatalities for Kano, Jax, and Sonya are pretty cool too.

SonicFox has apparently pulled off a 24 hit combo with Johnny Cage+Kano.

A LOT of people who preordered through a retailer had trouble getting their beta code. Pretty much everyone except Best Buy. The whole extra step process of getting a code from GameStop, BB, Target, etc. then having to go through WB’s website to get ANOTHER code for the actual beta was just an easy way to discourage people from doing that and just to buy the full version digitally so you’ll have an easier time downloading the beta. It was pretty fricked


Having said that, the beta is fun

They announced they were extending the beta period by 7 hours or something like that, probably in response to the issues some folks were happening. Personally, I thought the beta redemption process was pretty simple.

I'm done with the beta at this point though. Might play another tower or two tomorrow. Was fun but I don't do online fighting. May hit up a couple matches just to say I tried.

Raiden, Sindel and Shao Khan ( General Shao?) with Motaro as cameo just got revealed at gamescom

Also some other old guy as cameo. I didn’t recognize the character. Maybe Shujinko from deception?

From what I can tell, the internet agrees with you. I was thinking either him or the original Shang Tsung.

Here's the video. They're calling it the "Rulers of Outworld" Trailer.

I didn't notice this yesterday, but the Mortal Kombat Twitter account confirmed it is Shujinko.

First 17 minutes of gameplay: LINK

ETA: I would characterize this as light spoilers, but obviously it is spoilers for the first 17 minutes of the game and sets the groundwork for some key characters.

Invasion Mode reminds me of the Smash Bros Ultimate story mode. I think I'm going to enjoy that.

TV commercial released today. Not much gameplay shown. Dave Bautista is in it for some reason.

That would be overkill, but I could see that.

On another note, the face model for Kenshi, who also did mokap work for 8 characters, did an AMA on Reddit 5 days ago.

ETA: He said he did the mokap work for these fighters:

Kenshi
Liu Kang
Raiden
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Kung Lao
Smoke
Reptile

Said he got to freestyle a lot of these characters, other than Sub-Zero and Scorpion whose moves were directly dictated by the producers.

Good

Now, if only we had a Scorpion that made sense

Hopefully this will be fixed by the end of story mode.
