Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today releases a special extended trailer for the award-winning and iconic fighting game Mortal Kombat, featuring the playable warrior Kratos -- from the renowned God of War® series -- exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system.

Launching in April 2011 and developed by NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat is available for pre-order now on both the PS3 and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The game will be available to consumers in three editions– Standard Edition, Kollector’s Edition and Tournament Edition.

Details of three different editions of Mortal Kombat:

· The Standard Edition featuring the award-winning Mortal Kombat game.

· The Kollector’s Edition featuring the award-winning Mortal Kombat game, Sub-Zero and Scorpion figurines, a collectible art book, downloadable content that includes an exclusive Mortal Kombat Klassic costume skin and avatar costumes.

· The Tournament Edition featuring the award-winning Mortal Kombat game, a portable fight stick, and downloadable content that includes an exclusive Mortal Kombat Klassic costume skin and avatar costumes. The number of tournament editions is very limited with only 20,000 copies available in North America.


Players will be able to pre-order any of the above at North American retailers as of today. Specific pre-order programs include:

· Gamestop: Customers who pre-order their copy of Mortal Kombat at Gamestop will get exclusive access to the Klassic Scorpion Playable Character Skin and the original Scorpion Fatality.
· Best Buy: Customers who pre-order their copy of Mortal Kombat at Best Buy will get exclusive access to the Klassic Sub-Zero Playable Character Skin and the original Sub-Zero Fatality.

· Amazon: Customers who pre-order their copy of Mortal Kombat on Amazon.com will get exclusive access to the Klassic Reptile Playable Character Skin and the original Reptile Fatality.

Mortal Kombat will feature Kratos as a playable character, as well as be in Stereoscopic 3-D exclusively in the PS3 version. The brutal warrior from the acclaimed God of War franchise will have his own customized move set, fatality, and fighting arena, available to all original purchasers when Mortal Kombat hits stores.

The newest chapter of the iconic fighting franchise marks a triumphant return to the series’ mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2-D fighting mechanic. In addition, Mortal Kombat introduces a number of new game-play features including tag team and a deeper story mode. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game’s renowned warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches or take on several new game modes.

I have mine Pre-Ordered a GameStop, so I'll be getting Scorpion's Alt. costume and "Toasty" Fatality.

I just hope that Sub Zero and Reptile's Klassic costumes and Fatalities will be available later, via DLC.

This...I cannot preorder at any of these in my country so I'm hoping for dlc too. So Kratos isn't a pre-order bonus or DLC.
 
gotta cancel my gamestop order go to best buy. that's pretty cool. now that you brought up the whole stereoscopic 3d thing on sony it would make sense that they get Kratos. thanx for the info yo. ( I don't really speak Ebonics)
 
so kratos will be a featured player on ps3 when you buy. cool so he wont be on dlc. also will stereoscopic work with green/red 3d glasses on ps3. i can watch 3d movies on pc using a special media player. do i need a 3dtv or the glasses work?
 
Damn. Awesome news but I don't want to have to pre-order three copies use the download code and then try to sell two back to Gamestop. Maybe I can trade two MKs for the New Twisted Metal but I would still be out an extra $70 or so.
 
Haven't you read it? It says he'll be on the disc when you get the game from stores, no DLC.

Mortal Kombat will feature Kratos as a playable character available to all original purchasers when Mortal Kombat hits stores.

"Original purchasers" could also imply a Pre-Order DLC, via a DLC code that comes with the game.
Meaning that the people who buy the game used, won't get the free Kratos DLC.
Please read the sentences more carfully.
Don't just jump to conclusions.

Any pics (actual or concept) of the fight stick in the Tournament Edition? Wanting to see the button layout.
 
Im a little confused on one thing...When we preorder the game at the store(I dont buy things online), can we specify which edition of the game (standard, kollecters, torunament) we want?
