Last December, fighting game fans got quite the surprise when Ed Boon walked out on stage at the 2018 Game Awards and revealed Mortal Kombat 11 would be released worldwide on multiple platforms - including the Switch - on 23rd April 2019.
With only months to go until the next entry's launch, the series co-creator has once again taken to Twitter to officially share a little bit more about this anticipated fighting game. On this particular occasion, it was a picture of the title's cover art. As can be seen above and below, it's the classic character Scorpion in front of a yellow background and the iconic logo.
As slick as it is, we're sure there'll be at least a few classification boards worldwide that brandish this box art with a large and ugly rating. In case you missed it, below is a look at the announcement clip (warning: contains strong violence).
Will you be adding MK11 to your Switch library? Do you like the cover art? Tell us below.

one of the best announcements at TGA last year. im very excited to see what they have in store for this game.
my expectations are low on custom characters though. i did like that feature in Mortal Kombat Armageddon
Come over here! not get over here
"Oh I'm gonna throw you over there!"
Not particularly special to my tastes, but I am sure to show off this bad boy to my more casual of friends. Its just the game feels so much like Injustice and Killer Instinct now, both games I prefer over MKX
Scorpion for Smash? "GET OVER HERE!!" Could you imagine the reactions once that rings out?
So hyped but god I hope they drop that song they used in the trailer, totally ruined the mood.
I recently got a PS4. It made me realize that one of my biggest pet peeves in games is that trailers rarely show gameplay footage.
All about Johnny Cage and Raiden.
@CurryPowderKeg79 The new Killer Instinct is only so by name, so there is that. The originals are way better.
@1UP_MARIO
You are wrong on both counts.
In Mortal Kombats 1 to Ultimate it was "Get over here!" or "Come here". It has never been "Come over here".
@SBandy your right. FINISH ME😉
I remember 1 the most in the arcades and always thought come over here.
Wow. Scorpion on the cover art. Who could have guessed. /S.
Awesome art, though.
@1UP_MARIO
Fatality!
😁
That cover art looks so sick
January 17th can't come fast enough! The wait for gameplay is killing me!
Also when is the 21 Savage song dropping? I'll be bumping that as soon as it releases
The music is hideous and doesn't fit the game at all. MK is metal not rap.
😍 Love it. I can’t wait.
Bring it on! Ed Boon kicks all kinds of ass btw.
Well, it's Scorpion. One of my favourites. It doesnt look like much has changed though. Will have to see some gameplay.
I can't wait for this game. Would be great if the guest characters like Alien and Predator return from MK XL.
@1UP_MARIO he says two things and "Come Over Here" is neither
Get Over here and Come here are the correct answer
I'm still hoping for Soul Calibur on Switch... nothing beats those memories of SC2 on the GameCube with Link.
@SBandy There is one "Get down here!" as well, guess where?
I'm looking forward to this, it is great that
Mortal Kombat is coming back to a Nintendo machine and the fact that the Switch just happens to be a portable machine is the icing on the cake, co-op plays should and hopefully will be amazing on Switch because of the portability. I have not played a Mortal Kombat game in like 7 or 8 years so I'm definitely looking forward to this .
EA Sports Madden 2020: Featuring Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat franchise
@1UP_MARIO
You're both wrong. It's "Come here!"🤜
Edit: Oh, got already mentioned.🙁
Terrible. Why do so many modern games with incredible artists under their wing opt for such bland artwork. But then all of the recent Mk's have been exactly the same. Bring back some style and excitement to box art.
I like the artwork, just not the bland background. The Mortal Kombat 11 logo on the otherhand reminds me of MKII since the "11" looks a lot like the Roman numeral two (II). This is interesting cause Shao Kahn is returning in MK11 but MKII is when he first debut.
@nab1
Is it the movie?
What a terrible music choice in that trailer. Yeah, nothing gets my blood pumping like a sleepy guy talking in rhythm to a xylophone.
I hope we get all of the horror icons in this one- Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Xenomorph, Candyman, Ash, Dr. Herbert West, Pumpkinhead and so on...
Haven't played Mortal Kombat since the one where there was a subzero storymode thing (armageddon I think not sure though) I might see what the reviews come back like before deciding
LOL. Love the trailer warning: "May contain content inappropriate for children" Ya think?
I gotta admit that the cover for MK 11 looks great.
I'll grab it if the full game is on cartridge.
I'm not sure if I can stomach the extreme gore though.
And we've certainly come a very long way from the last handheld Mortal Kombat game on a Nintendo system, being Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the DS.
I'm waiting to see if I get on ps4 or switch
@theberrage
Agree. Majority of games on the PS Store have only trailers or 'gameplay' trailers that only show cinematic gameplay so it is hard to tell how the gameplay is. Ridiculous stuff.
Just do a physical version of MK 1-3 and Ultimate that is all I need
@SBandy Yup, during the Scorpion vs Johnny Cage fight scene
@WaveBoy Totally. Between MK11 and MKX's (c)rap tracks, I just turned the sound off and put on some Disturbed instead. The last thing I want to hear while decapitating someone is mainstream rap. At least "Another Way To Die" fit the premise of MK 2011. Not to mention it rocked.
Interested but I will wait for the complete version.
The cover should’ve been Shao Kahn’s helmet with a black background to give it a dark feel.
So... if your opponent still has a spine, then they keep fighting... and if you manage to sever the spine, you win?
@WaveBoy Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa no it didn't you fool. There is tons of good artwork on the Switch, Neo Geo, Wii, Wiiu,
N64 and every system that came after the ones that you named as being the end.
@WaveBoy You literally have no clue what you are talking about. Just for a few examples go and look at all the NG.DEV releases. Every single one has stunning artwork, Look up some of the reecent Atari 2600 releases, again beautiful artwork. Also if the American artwork is all you know from that period you missed out on almost all of the actually good artwork, as it came out of Japan.
@WaveBoy Ha haaaaaaaaaaa how is newly created artwork for newly created games 'Fake' ????? You really have no clue at all.
@WaveBoy Good answer. Just exercise some personal damage limitation and stop talking. It's obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about so just don't.
