Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat X is a fighting game where you choose from a roster of returning fighters and new characters. Its cinematic story mode mixes cutscenes with fights as a new generation of combatants enters the conflict. Fights are fast and aggressive, with each character offering three variations that change their moves and fighting style. Learn attacks and combos, defend against opponents, and use interactive arena objects to shift the action. Alongside the story, you can take on tower fights and challenges, play local or online matches, and explore the Krypt to unlock items such as costumes and fatalities using in-game currency.

Choose a fighter and one of three combat variations, then battle through a cinematic story, towers, and local or online matches.
