Alien is coming to Mortal Kombat X. Neatherrealm Studios are continuing to bring horror movie icons into the latest Mortal Kombat game and with the release of this latest trailer following the Video Game Awards, we have confirmation that the Alien will be joining the Predator and Jason:
It would appear that the Alien is intended to have taken on some of the trait of its game host, Tarkatan, giving it those armblades that you can see in the trailer.
The Alien is one of four characters to be included in this newest downloadable content pack. The other new characters include Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface, Bo Rai Cho, and Tri-Borg. There is no specific news of a release date other than the first quarter of 2016.
The Predator saw its debut in Mortal Kombat X in July, where alongside alongside with Friday the 13th’s Jason, they added to the existing rota of Mortal Kombat X characters.
Alien is coming to Mortal Kombat X alongside Leatherface, Bo Rai Cho, and Tri-Borg.
If you’re not aware, Mortal Kombat is the 10th main instalment of the fighting franchise Mortal Kombat. which was first released April 14, 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. The console versions of the game received a largely positive reception but the Windows one did not.
Thanks to Hellspawn28 and Kyle Thomas for the news.
For those interested.
Depends on the continuity which Robocop is hailing from.. there are like.. three alternate Robocop 3 comics. Frank Miller's Robocop, Boom Studio's Robocop Last Stand, and Boom Studios Robocop series... all of which are hailed as an alternate Robocop 3. I know in the Boom Studios version, Robocop got an upgrade which allowed him to actually run.
And even if he wasn't allowed to run in MKX... he's way too durable to fight in a hand to hand contest.
That could still happen. You know Arnold lent his image for The Terminator to appear in the latest WWE game? He even filmed a promo for it.
That's what I just proposed earlier on in the thread.
The DNA reflex isn't used nearly enough by creators, I'm really glad they actually integrated it into the series rather than just throw a standard Alien in there.

If you mean by the internal organs of a Xenomorph, which we practically know nothing about, then I would say that presents a lot of problems. Even if given the Tarkatan traits taken into account because this is still a Xenomorph.
As cool as the Xenomorph is in Mortal Kombat X, I'm seeing a lot of... things which need to be considered. Such as Fatalities on the Xenomorph, and the X-Rays. I mean do we really expect Liu Kang to punch his fists through a Xenomorph's throat, ripping it out and shoving it into it's mouth and not expect the acid blood to be dissolving at his hand?
Only the body shape is similar to a human. A head, body, two arms and legs-- that's where the similarities end. But the organ placement, the organs used, it's all human designed. So is even the tongue for the Predator in this game when Predator 2 established (but was largely overlooked) that they have small, forked tongues. Depending on your source of Predator lore... in the current EU, Predators have three hearts. This one has one.
I'm... well really, what did we all expect a Tarkatan-Alien to look like? I know a lot of Alien fans wanted the traditional Xenomorph, and I understand why because that's YOUR Alien. That's the creature you know and love. I mean had Boon given us Predator fans the Super Predators from PREDATORS, I would've surely been pissed off and foaming at the mouth. But we wound up with something new. A Tarkatan-Alien which... I think the concept in itself is cool but I'll admit, the design is something to be improved upon (lengthening the head would help) because it looks a little like Roger Corman's MUTANT. The head does need to look something more like an Alien but did any of us know before hand what a Tarkatan-Alien looked like or what it could?
No but it did take away our chance to actually play as THE ALIEN in a Mortal Kombat game. Predator fans got to play as a predator and of course alien fans get the developer's 12-year-old's fan-fiction. lucky us.
I'd laugh my ass off if that were the case. So the perfect organism can't survive the mk universe but Leatherface: the backwoods retard can? It just doesn't pay to be an alien fan these days.
Would've been cooler if we had those two instead of Alien and Leatherface!

It's not taking away from the original, its not breaking Into your house and replacing all your classic aliens. Chill out.
No wonder the 'AvP' licence has degenerated into the deepest pits of mediocrity only suitable for undiscriminating 13 year olds with no life experience.
Meh and Fail.
-Windebieste.
I haven't played MKX yet but it's in my plans. I had to upgrade my TV to a 50" before getting a PS4, but it should just be another week or two. Is Motaro in the game? Imagine a Motaro hybrid, holy heck.
Hopefully they'll improve the design before release & give us the traditional Alien...
What if they give you the 1979 alien? Then you'll complain about the way it moves.
Those blades coming out and the screech was awesome, more reason to get the game. More reason to get more NECA figs. I'm down with any xeno that actually looks different and isint just a cheap reskin or repaint.
I actually wrote to Ocean many many years ago (90's) with a game idea for having a selection of movie characters in one fighter. Characters like Ripley, Predator, Snake Plissken, Robocop, Boba Fett etc...but I was told the rights issues would be impossible to overcome.
So this is really cool, not sure about the Alien though. Personally, seeing as they already have Jason and now Leatherface, I would of thought the obvious choices would now be Ash, Pinhead, Michael Myers, Pumpkinhead, Pennywise, Candyman, Leprechaun and Chucky
And bring back Freddy.
We may, assuming that these variations allow us to have that.
Yes, I think so. I vaguely recall seeing it in an arcade back in those days...

Wait, really? I never heard of this. I gotta have a look at it.
Are you talking about this one, Perfect Organism?
Ask Ed Boon on Twitter.
Seems like Predator fans got the better end of the deal. I mean.. the idea of a Tarkatan-Alien could've worked but the design seems to be quite off. Now I'm hearing rumors that this is just Baraka, re-labled as the Alien and given an Alien skin.. If that is the case... both sides do have every right to be pissed.
If that is the case, then MK and ALIEN fans have a right to be pissed.
