Ok I've got some good and bad news depending on where you live! The good news is that alot of info about the game was released which I will post under this! The bad news is the game got banned in australia (the ACB also proved that new info HAHAH).
Take from a person who Gfaqs since he highlighted important stuff
The game, which is said to be the ninth in the Mortal Kombat series, contains various playable modes. In Story mode, a player engages in a series of one-on-one fights which progress a storyline involving Rayden trying to prevent Armageddon by pitting his Earth warriors against agents of Outvvorld.Story mode includes more than 15 hours of gameplay.
Versus mode involves one-on-one fights Where a player battles against computer-controlled characters in a tournament (with customisable difficulty settings), or against other players. Tag Team mode is similar to versus mode but allows a player to select two characters and switch between them during a fight.
Fights are depicted in side-view using realistically rendered 3D graphics, although a player is only able to move in two dimensions. The game is set in a dystopian fantasy realm and its cast of25 charactersincludes humans, humanoids, creatures and robots. These characters are each able to perform punches, kicks and signature moves during a bout. Signature moves often involve a character's particular weapon or supernatural ability. For example: Scorpion is armed with a spear on a chain which he can hurl into an opponent's chest (with accompanying bloodspray) and pull them towards him;Barakahas blades at his wrists with which he can repeatedly stab an Opponent in the stomach, again Causing bloodspray; and Sub Zero can temporarily freeze an Opponent or stab them in the chest with a blade made of ice.
The game also includes the ability to perform "x-ray" attacks. Given the correct preconditions, a player is able to push a simple button combination to initiate a short non-interactive series of attacks. The internal injuries caused by these attacks are depicted in close-up, including depictions of skulls cracking, ribs breaking and, occasionally, organs being damaged.
At the conclusion of a bout, a character is invited to perform a "finishing move" or "fataIity". To perform a fatality, a player has to push a series of button combination within a short period of time. If this is successfully accomplished, a non-interactive cut scene is triggered which depicts a character explicitly slaughtering their opponent.
Initially, the Move List Within the game includesone finishing move per character, although a player is able to unlock up to fourper character.The Board notes that fatalities cannot be performed in Story mode and are unlikely to be performed frequently during gameplay; however, it is also noted that there are more than 60 fatalities available and they are an important component of the game. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Kung Lao throws his metal hat into the ground and it spins like a buzz saw. He grabs his prone opponent bythe ankles and drags their body through the saw, explicitly slicing them vertically in half. Copious bloodspray is noted. Kung Lao then holds up both halves of the corpse as blood pours out.
- Stryker tasers his opponents and then explicitly shoots their head off with his gun. Blood and gore is noted.
- Shao Khan uses his hands to explicitly rip an opponent's body vertically in two
- Kitana uses her 'folding fan' weapon to explicitly dismember then decapitate her opponent, with copious blood flow noted.
-Jade explicitly kicks an opponent into the air and plants her fighting stick into the ground. The opponent falls backwards onto the Stick and is explicitly impaled, with the stick protruding from"
So Shao Khan is apparently playable and story mode = more than 15 hours? Nice!
