Watch Today's Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Kast [Update]

NetherRealm is preparing another Mortal Kombat 11 livestream, which will include another kombatant. The third Kombat Kast will take place Wednesday, February 27 at 1 PM PT / 10 AM ET. This time, the studio isn't playing coy with what they'll be revealing, as the announcement tweet directly states that it will host a "kharacter reveal." You can watch the stream right here on GameSpot.

The studio followed up with a tweet teasing the character reveal. It's a very vague look, but given the attitude, fans have speculated that it's Johnny Cage. [Update: Sure enough, ahead of the Kombat Kast, Johnny Cage was confirmed Mortal Kombat 11. The Kombat Kast itself provided a more in-depth look at the returning character, but we didn't learn about any other additions to the roster. NetherRealm did, however, announce plans for an online stress test that will take place in mid-March, prior to the full beta. Sign-ups for this are now live; access is separate from that of the proper beta and is only available in the US on PS4 and Xbox One.]

We could have guessed the stream would include a new character. Both of the previous Kombat Kast streams have debuted a character--Kabal in the first and Jade in the second. Those join old favorites like Scorpion, Sonya Blade, and Kano, along with new additions like the time manipulator Geras. No Shaggy, though. You can check out the full roster so far.

The new fighter debuts tend to include an overview of their abilities and a lengthy, utterly gross look at one of their fatalities.

This game introduces "kosmetic" options, with tons of loot and character variations so you can kustomize your fighter as much as you kare. Check out all the skins we've seen so far. A beta is planned for March 28 for those who pre-order, and then the game will release on April 23.
