No day on the calendar is greater than Friday the 13th, and horror gamers just found out why. In honor of the official horror holiday, NetherRealm Studios has just announced that Jason Voorhees will be appearing in the next installment of the Mortal Kombat franchise, Mortal Kombat X.
Jason will not be included in the main roster but will be a member of the Kombat Pack of guest fighters. The Kombat Pack comes included in the Premium Edition, Collector’s Edition, Limited Edition (GameStop exclusive), and Premium Edition of the game and can also be purchased separately for $29.99 USD.
The series has long been a send-up to horror fans with past editions featuring Freddy Krueger as a guest combatant. Given Jason’s look, which appears to be of the Freddy vs. Jason era, clawmarks on the mask and all, could the gloved one be far behind? It’d be great for gamers to be able live out this maniacal battle royale outside of the film.
Players who pre-order the game will also be able to play as classic character Goro. This news is coupled with the fact that the game will mark the return of brutalities and feature x-ray views of bones being broken mid-fight. Mortal Kombat X may push violence to an all new level.
From the Press Release:
In celebration of Friday 13th today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment confirmed details for the Mortal Kombat X Kombat Pack, the ultimate pass providing fans with Mortal Kombat X downloadable content (DLC), some of which will be available beginning at launch.
