Mortal Kombat X might be packing a whole bunch of brand new characters, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to forget about over twenty years of ultraviolent brawling.
Creator Ed Boon told IGN that a popular ‘-ality’ (as in fatality, animality, babality and so on) will be making a return in the series’ latest entry, though he didn’t want to give away what it might be.
“For those who are familiar with the Mortal Kombat,” said Boon, ”we’ve first had the Fatality and we added a Babality. We had the Friendship moves, Brutality moves and all of these crazy things over the years.”
“We are going to be reinstating an ’˜Ality’ from a previous game into Mortal Kombat X. And I can’t wait to be able to talk about it but at the moment I can’t.”
What a tease. We’ll find out the game’s alternative option to pulling a man’s kidneys out through his tear ducts when Mortal Kombat X launches on PC and consoles next year.
