Stay tuned as we get closer to the release date of Mortal Kombat on PS Vita!

Mortal Kombat (2011) has won several fighting game of the year awards and will be repackaged to include all of the character and costume DLC so far.  The game will also include the official soundtrack and a digital copy of the first Mortal Kombat film.  If you’ve held of buying the game due to the DLC, here is your chance to grab the game at a low price.

Below Ed Boon explains the new features for Mortal Kombat.

“In terms of gameplay, we’ve always wanted MK to be as accessible as possible. For example, you can touch your X-ray meter to execute an X-ray attack. For fatalities, you can “slash” the screen with the appropriate inputs – say, away, away, up – to execute the fatality. It makes some of the more difficult fatalities easier and it’s fun to slash at your screen to fire off a fatality. I was surprised by how engaging it is.”
