Now that Mileena's adorable new mouth caught your attention, allow me to say: what an incredible new trailer!!!

Smoke is finally playable again after he was last seen in MK 9, and Rain has finally made me to base roster! Both look great... although Smoke's shorter hair will take a while to get used to.

Sub-Zero and Scorpion look confused as Smoke appears in a cloud of smoke in front of them

The image above makes me curious. If you remember Smoke's ending in MK 9, you'll know that his real name is Tomas Vrbada and that he got his smoke powers from the demon Enenra after a cult performed a ritual on the poor boy. I wonder if that ritual stone table has any relation to this or if they're going to give Smoke a completely different origin. Also, Scorpion is definitely Kuai Liang. He's too kind to be Hanzo lol

I love how this trailer has this action-adventure vibe with a flavour of espionage and secret magic. It's what I desperately wanted from Mortal Kombat: no more all that high-tech nonsense, no more loads of guns and drones. The Lin Kuei seems to be playing a more pivotal role this time, and I'm all here for it. Very excited to see both Smoke and Rain (apparently) playing a bigger role in the plot as well.

And the Kameos look great. I'm glad Sektor and Cyrax are Kameos because I couldn't see the Cyber Initiative working in this New Era, at least not in this first game. I'm also super glad to see human Frost back - she already looks a thousand times better than she did in MK 11.

Have I mentioned Mileena's mouth? Because holy shit, that looks crazy! I hope Tanya doesn't get the creeps!

Also, I just realised after watching the trailer for the third time: those stone statues that Scorpion melts are so very Onaga! We see them in Deception when Quan Chi, Shang Tsung, and Raiden team up to try and stop Onaga :D Looking forward to seeing the Dragon King back!!!
