The wait is over. <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_x/">Mortal Kombat X</a>, the heavily anticipated sequel to <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_9/">2011's Mortal Kombat</a> game, has finally been announced <a href="http://www.trmk.org/news/30960/ed_boon_releases_mortal_kombat_x_announcement_trailer_game_coming_2015.html">earlier this morning by Ed Boon</a>. Warner Bros. has now sent out a Press Release for the game which confirms the game will be shown for the first time at next week's <a href="http://www.e3expo.com">E3 2014</a> in Los Angeles, California.

TRMK will be in Los Angeles to check it out first hand! Check back next week for updates and information on the tenth installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise! Be sure to send us any questions you have too, so we can try to get them answered by the developers from NetherRealm on hand. As aways we always recommend tuning into the big three platform's Press Conferences as well incase the game is featured there, but you can count out Nintendo who's Wii U platform was not listed as an option for the game at this time. Check out <a href="http://www.ign.com/wikis/e3/E3_2014_Press_Conferences">IGN's Guide on the 2014 Press Conferences</a> for dates and stream links.

Additionally if you don't have one of the new consoles the game will also be ported to <b>Windows PC</b> as well as previous generation consoles <b>Xbox 360</b> and <b>PlayStation 3</b>. The game will arrive in <b>2015</b>, and I'd anticipate a more specific release date sometime early next year.

Along with the announcement press release was the teaser trailer of the game that was released earlier, which you can see below:
