Warner Shows Off Kratos, MK Bonus Editions

Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm Studios have released some more Mortal Kombat goodies, including the first look at the PS3 version's bonus character, Kratos, and details about the game's preorder incentives and bonus editions.

It looks like MK fans are going to have some decisions to make before the game's April 2011 release. First up, there's the issue of platform. The PlayStation 3 version includes two exclusives--God of War's Kratos as a playable character and support for stereoscopic 3D. There's no word yet on whether the Xbox 360 version will include an exclusive character yet, which could keep at least some players from pulling the pin.

In addition, there are several versions of the game as well as retailer-specific preorder bonuses. There will be three versions of the game: standard, Kollector's Edition, and the Tournament Edition. Here's what each one includes.

  • The Standard Edition includes the game
  • The Kollector’s Edition includes the 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 includes the game, a portable fight stick, and downloadable content that includes an exclusive Mortal Kombat Klassic costume skin and avatar costumes. Warner says this edition is limited to 20,000 copies in North America

There are also three different preorder bonuses, which are given out by different retailers. Each of them offers an exclusive classic playable character skin and the character's original fatality. GameStop has Scorpion, Best Buy offers Sub-Zero, and Amazon is doling out Reptile.

Decisions, decisions.

 

GameStop is the parent company of Game Informer.

  • Im a probably go kollectors edition on PS3 cuz Kratos is worth that version alone, plus the 360 version will probably have either Master Chief or them Gears Of War guys and I dont care for either of those exclusives!
  • soooooooo want it

  • I have a man crush on Kratos. There, I said it!
  • *please insert ultra super fanboy squeal here*
  • That was just awesome. It's just a shame that I don't own a PS3.
  • This game is gonna be sick!!!!

  • Kratos is awesome but I just love the 360's controller much better than the PS3's, so I guess Im getting the 360 version??? I'm so confused. lol
  • :(
  • So as far as pre orders go it looks like Spine Rip vs Toasty vs Face eater. I'm pretty sure ill have to go with spine-rip.

    As far as what edition, while I would love a Kombat stick to play on, I'm thinking a subby and scorpion figuirines along with an art book as >the fight stick. Hmmm.

  • ooook,just don't see how this works.
  • This is all too much. Yeah, the 360 version better have a defining exclusive or else they're just nuking it before it comes out of the box.
  • There was no doubt in my mind of the version I was going to get, but having Kratos as a playable character seals the deal. Not so excited about the 3D though, maybe cause I don't have a compatible TV.

  • Let's just hope the game plays well, otherwise were all screwed

  • PS3, Kollector's from GameStop, oh yeah

  • Can anybody guess where I'm going to preorder from, anyone? anyone?
  • sooo.... does anyone else think that every new mortal kombat trailer gets better and better?  I'm incredibly excited

  • Once again GI's video streamer sucks! I'll have to look it up on youtube. But come on this is no contest for pre-orders its gotta be Scorpion! And as far as which version to get, kollectors for PS3.

    Now all that remains is that they make the game good like the classics and balanced.... that last game was terrible...

  • The Xbox version needs Master Chief.
  • Portable fight stick? Like a bat..?

  • im hoping master chief dont be on this...its jus dont seem right...its wud def make mk pretty gay...if not da gears character den jus put ninja gaiden...that would be pretty good...although he's not an "exclusive" character
