Finish Him! Alien Xenomorph, Leatherface, Bo Rai Cho and Tri Borg Enter the Fight in Mortal Kombat X

By Nolan P. Smith

Mortal Kombat X hit its mark, becoming one of the premiere fighters on the current gen consoles. Well, at the Game Awards 2015, we got to see four more characters to enter the area- two familiar to the franchise, and two familiar to fans of horror films.

Kombat Pack 2, set for release in 2016, will introduce 2 more guest fighters, ones that compliment the already available Predator and Jason. This time, we get the chainsaw swinging Leatherface and the nightmare in space, a Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise. The two familiar faces might not look too familiar at first: the drunken Bo Rai Cho looks like himself, but Tri Borg might look new to some- but he is actually a combination of the three cyber ninjas: Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke.

Check out the trailer below (sorry it’s low res), and weigh in on the choices. Personally, I am thrilled for the picks for the most part: Xenomorph and Tri Borg look amazing, Leatherface fits in, but Bo Rai Cho was never a favorite of mine. Nonetheless, I am happy we are getting more characters for this installment of Mortal Kombat!
