Fatalities may be the bread and butter of Mortal Kombat 11, but I kind of find myself favouring Brutalities lately. They’re that extra bit of salt in the wound of a pal, a finishing move that is not only brutal but also says “hey I’m good enough to beat you according to a very specific set of requirements outside of …

In Mortal Kombat 11 every character gets a single Fatality unlocked from the start. If you want that second finisher, you’ll have to grind for it in the Krypt, an idea so foul that I’d rather spend my time performing a root canal on Baraka. If you do happen to know the actual input though, there’s nothing stopping you from actually performing the secondary finisher. Just be aware, that it won’t show up in your list of moves until you’ve unlocked it in the Krypt. Still, I’ve got a list of Fatalities below, so feel free to take this page and print it out!

A powerful and loyal servant of Kronika, Geras wields the power to manipulate time. See him in bloody action, in his very own gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat 11.

Raiden has upset the balance of history with the death of Shinnok. Tired of Earthrealm’s defiance, Kronika, The Keeper of Time will bring order to the universe through any means necessary.

An extra salting of the wound whether your opponent is human or an AI challenger, fatalities are Mortal Kombat’s true trademark. They’re unbelievably bloody, they push console technology to the bleeding edge (pun intended) and they’ll cause a panic when your mom sees them. Don’t believe me? Well then, buckle up and check out Mortal Kombat 11’s new generation of fatalities.

Watch the fighting game genre evolve further, in this first look at the gameplay for Mortal Kombat 11.

So what’s on the schedule for tonight? Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. will have interviews after the main show, with a few exhibition matches and rumours of Mortal Kombat 11 having a time travel element to its story again. Will EarthRealm finally stop the forces of OutWorld for good this time, or will this be the beginning of a new war of the realms? Whatever the end result, you can bet that Mortal Kombat 11 is going to paint the town red with its action.

You can’t spell Mortal Kombat without Raiden and a brain concussion, and it looks like the same might be true for Injustice 2 as EarthRealm’s protective deity is headed to this year’s best fighting game. Here’s a quick look at Raiden in action, as well as his alternate skin which swaps the zap, crackle and pop defender of the realm for Black Lightning. Sadly, there’s no Christopher Lambert skin. Kind of disappointing not to have that option.
