Mortal Kombat 11
NetherRealm adds Noob Saibo, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Jax Briggs and DLC character Shang Tsung

Noob Saibot

Once known by the name Bi-Han, and the original Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot was a cold-blooded assassin, corrupt from years of violence and evil. Murdered by his clan’s enemy, Scorpion, Bi-Han was resurrected as the black-clad wraith, Noob Saibot. Both shadowy and mysterious, his soul was stripped of compassion and remorse, and now he considers himself the perfect warrior using his ninja-like and phantom abilities to carry out his darkest impulses.

Liu Kang – The greatest of the Shaolin monks, was an orphan adopted and trained in the arts of combat by the Shaolin order. He was handpicked by Raiden to be Earthrealm’s Mortal Kombat champion and chief defender.

Kung Lao – He joined the Shaolin monks in a quest to become Earthrealm’s new Mortal Kombat champion. Reckless and rebellious, but courageous and indomitable, Kung Lao fights to prove worthy of his glorious ancestors.

Major Jackson “Jax” Briggs – He was a decorated veteran of the Special Forces whose life changed forever when he fought in the Mortal Kombat tournament. His duty was now clear—he would defend Earthrealm against Outworld and the Netherrealm.

Shang Tsung

 

The host of the first Mortal Kombat tournament and faithful servant to Shao Khan. A powerful, shapeshifting sorcerer, he absorbs living souls to maintain his youthful appearance and command, while morphing into other characters to use his adversaries’ own moves against them in battle. Shang Tsung is one of six playable DLC fighters included in the Kombat Pack, which is part of the Mortal Kombat 11 Premium and Kollector’s Editions.

Guilty Gear

In 1998, one game made huge waves within its genre: Guilty Gear for the original PlayStation. Spectacular special moves that brought the console to its limits, a Hardrock soundtrack that still has to meet its match, innovative mechanics and unique characters that kicked off an incredibly complex and epic anime story will equally fascinate fighting game fans today, as it did 20 years ago!

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R

First released in 2008, Guilty Gear XX is old and the XX series introduced 12 previous installments reaching the optimal balance. Guilty Gear XX mechanics like “Dust” and “Roman Cancel”, set the bar for the series going forward, which increases its popularity dramatically and therefore produced another successful sequel: Guilty Gear Xrd.

Power Ranges: Battle for the Grid will feature cross-play across Xbox One, Switch and PC with the same player pool. You can compete in real-time against other players on the platforms, and should you switch out systems, progress made will carry over thanks to cross-progression.
