The Joker Is Here To Bring ‘Friendships’ Back To Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat

The official trailer for The Joker in Mortal Kombat 11 is here and he brings a bit more to Mortal Kombat 11 than some of us may have thought

We had a fun little tease of The Joker for Mortal Kombat 11 a little while back and now that he will be joining the game in the next DLC on January 28th it is time to have a solid look at the character. It is not like we have not seen The Joker a few times over from NetherRealm Studios, but here is a wholly new one to take in and with a whole slew of different combat tactics mixed in. I know I was hoping for a different DLC character here for this Mortal Kombat, but I will say this version of The Joker does look like he will be a bit of fun to play as we wait for the bigger character I am waiting for.

As you will see in the following trailer, The Joker is back with his usual guns and explosives that are all mixed up with different designs for Mortal Kombat 11 than we have seen before. He also looks to use his cane a whole lot more to keep a bit of a mid-range fight in him. With the best aspect being the fatality we get to see here with the "in-joke" of bringing Friendships back into the Mortal Kombat franchise. It is a joke, as was to be assumed, but it is a fairly solid one to add in before he kills his opponents. You can see it and all the basics in action just below.

In addition to The Joker for Mortal Kombat 11, we also have a few more DC oriented costumes coming for a few characters here. Geras has one that makes him look like Darkseid. It is underwhelming, but then we move on to the Killer Croc version of Baraka, Catwoman for Kitana, and then the best one with "The Bat That Laughs" for Noob Saibot. That one looking to be like a full character remake for Mortal Kombat 11 than just a basic skin. Now I know that I cannot wait for January 28th to roll up and get to play as all of these now.

Mortal Kombat 11 — The Joker

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios today released a new Mortal Kombat 11 gameplay trailer showcasing the addition of The Joker. Unpredictable, violent and incredibly dangerous, The Joker is chaos personified. The infamous clown has terrorized the streets of Gotham City and targeted Batman’s closest allies. Now, he’s the latest Kombatant set to join the Mortal Kombat 11 roster on Jan. 28 as part of the early access period for Kombat Pack owners.

Kombat Pack owners will also have access to new DC-themed character skins on Jan. 28, including “Time Lord of Apokolips” Geras and the DC Elseworlds Skin Pack featuring the menacing “Darkest Knight” Noob Saibot, reptilian “Killer Kroc” Baraka and sleek “Katwoman of Outworld” Kitana.
