Today, NetherRealm Studios held a Mortal Kombat 11 event revealing a treasure trove of information, ranging from the game’s story mode, to returning characters and new fighters. There will likely be more revealed over the course of the following months until the game releases, but for now this should be enough. To start off with, we have the characters. At the event, NetherRealm Studios gave us a brand new character and six returning ones. Mortal Kombat X gave us a large number of new characters, including D’Vorah, Ferra/Torr, Erron Black, Kotal Khan, Takeda, Jacqui Briggs, Kung Jin, and Cassie Cage.

Planet Digital Partners With Industry Veterans to Make Block Chain Gaming Happen
It should come as no surprise that many of the current blockchain-based projects will fail. That’s just how it is with emerging technologies.
