Mortal Kombat X’s Story Trailer Looks Cheesy as Ever

One of the best things about the Mortal Kombat series is its campy storyline that's somehow managed to persist through 9 games, and the 10th offering, Mortal Kombat X, is no exception to the rule. 

Set 25 years after the events of 2011's Mortal Kombat, a new generation of characters will discover that Outworld isn't the only threat they face. Fans will get a first look at the newest fighters to join Cassie Cage, including Jacqueline Briggs, daughter of Jax, Takashi Takeda, son of Kenshi, and Kung Jin, descendant of Kung Lao. Together, they must battle against the power-hungry clone Mileena and her Outworld rebel army. 

A trailer was released today by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and developers Netherstorm to showcase what happens in the upcoming game. 

The game is set for release worldwide on April 14, 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It's also coming out for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
