NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. on Monday released the launch trailer for upcoming fighting game Mortal Kombat X. The developer went the extra mile with the video, enlisting the help of System of a Down's Shavo Odadjian, who directed the trailer. It also features the band's iconic "Chop Suey" song.

No Caption Provided

The video highlights Mortal Kombat's numerous returning and new characters, and ends with a particularly brutal Fatality. Make sure to watch through to the end.

A special TV trailer for Mortal Kombat X, which features live-action footage and gameplay, also uses "Chop Suey" to great effect.

The Mortal Kombat X release date is April 14 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions, however, have been delayed.

Love the trailer. Mk hype! Every new MK release trailer people complain about the music. I much rather SOAD than Wiz Khalifa, but that's just my opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

Maybe next MK release trailer can have some dark ambient so people can stop complaining over the music.

Fixed whining to complaining. Yes some people have opinions, others just complain for the sake of complaining.

<< LINK REMOVED >> So hope so, I had enough of Battlefield and Destiny, really looking for a new genre to jump into, something competitive that takes skill into account and one that I can fight against other human players. I really love the daily tasks, towers and that unique abilities of each fighter.. On paper it looks like a very challenging game.. hopefully I won't get disappointed. Spending lots of time reading and watching videos to get the hang how it is actually playing the game. Thanks!

I'm going to their concert today. I got free tickets for readying a design for a friend that plans on selling bootleg t-shirts there. If you see this design, go ahead an buy a shirt off him. (image in reply to prevent this from becoming a pending comment).

Sweet graphics and animation! I'm talking crazy sweet! But the music...omg, the music is down-right awful! Horrible is the best word to describe the music in this trailer. Still looking to the game though.

The music might not fit perfectly, but I really like the trailer as a whole. Better than the rap one.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Agree, I'm here just stunned by that. It's not the first game this year that gets an awful trailer. Hopefully the in-game sound isn't made by the same guys responsible for the trailer.. oh boy if it is.

Ryashon Mortal Kombat theme remix is pretty good. I wished they imported it somehow.

Liu Kang(or someone like him), jumps into the air with a faster than light travel effect around him, glue his feet on his opponent and cuts him in half in a glorious and bloody manner.


GAME.... OF.... THE.... YEAR!!!!!

OMG, it's a thousand times more epic!

I challenge NetherRealm to do a cheesy retro-style trailer using Techno Syndrome.
