If you've been keeping tabs on NetherRealm Studios' upcoming fighting game Mortal Kombat 11, you'll no doubt be aware of the regular live streams - better known as Kombat Kasts - for the game. So far, these streams have slowly but steadily been revealing each of the fighters in the new entry.
In the latest one, NetherRealm shared the official reveal trailer for the emperor of the Outworld, Kotal Kahn. Unlike previous reveals, though, this one is a bit different. Instead of absolutely destroying the competition, this fighter ends up getting his butt kicked by Jacqui Briggs (aka. the daughter of Jax). It even shows her performing a fatality on the emperor at the very end. Take a look below:
Some fans are now even requesting a proper reveal trailer for Kotal Khan, while others are still wondering if this was some sort of elaborate troll by NetherRealm. If you want to find out more about the two fighters in the above trailer, check out the full replay of the latest Kombat Kast stream below:

Jacqui Briggs was by far the lamest character in MKX. Trying to make her look good against Kotal Kahn (who has amazing pecs) just makes her look worse.
I don't mind Jacqui like some people seem to, but I really like Kotal Khan's Aztec-inspired design, he doesn't deserve this kind of treatment in his own trailer, haha
I’m feeling a bit meh about this game
@mist graphics looks good though, but gameplay wise?? not really feeling it either. MKX was a letdown. All extra characters were DLC. If you do a story mode you do get points so you can unlock stuff. In earlier games at least you were able to unlock hidden characters as well. That part is taken away. Doesn't feel much rewarding when you finish a game. Not just this MK game, but other games as well. I don't see much a reason to finish a game where you are forced to get DLC to unlock them. That's why this game won't come in my collection. Done with the DLC stuff. Unless its free DLC of course then ok
Used to enjoy MK games a lot, but all these bone-breaking, organ-piercing attacks, after which the characters continue the fight like "it's just a flesh-wound", is such an overkill to me. Takes the joy out of the game imo
@Bankaj yeah it’s not really realistic. But MK never was realistic to begin with.
@BloodyMurder
They’ve made no sense since 9 introduced them and lessen the impact of the fatalitie moves when many of the x-ray include killling moves like being stabbed through the head and neck snaps.
@Bankaj
They hate that we like unique looking characters like him and hate all the boring kids they intoduded, they’ll all worse than Styker who at least had a hilarious novelty factor to him. I feel like they came out of a PG13 movie of MK that would come out nowadays where they want to appeal to the young-adult fiction crowd, maybe they were designed with that in mind.
@sanderev the fun of MK for me was to build up the fight to the moment you win and can celebrate your victory with a brutal fatality to humilate your opponent further. Now the fight itself is like one long fatality...
@SalvorHardin well. You get me
I’m sure the game will be a good Kombat game, but I really hope all big fighting games aren’t marketed this way. Just tell people which characters will be in the game, and save a couple big reveals for the month or two before release.
Still no switch footage at all? I wonder how pared back it will be 🤔
For those with an interest in some MK history I have to post a link to one of my favourite NintendoLife features of all time. Its a fantastic read! https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/12/feature_how_mortal_kombat_defined_the_console_war_between_sega_and_nintendo
Looks a treat; wish we could get the Klassics on the Switch as an e-shop bonus.
@electrogeist That would be brillant. Mortal Kombat Klassic Kollection ! I would love to play the 2nd and the 4th on the go.
@Alucard83 I like unlocking stuff, too... which is why I'm looking forward to 11. There will be tons of different costume pieces to unlock for each character.
I say "each character," but of course I really just mean "my favorite characters."
@Alucard83 Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion, but to imply that MKX wasn’t a fantastic game is disregarding an overwhelming majority of people who believe it’s one of the best ever... including me.
Ed Boon noted on Twitter that it was an oversight and would be sorted out (a new trailer / showing of his fatal blow / fatality I assume) - Ed often has a deadpan style of sarcasm / humour on Twitter from what I see, but it didn’t seem to be a joke in this case.
When do we get to see official switch gameplay?
Great, Kotal finally gets a redesign that makes him look less like a goofy loser and he gets upstaged in his own trailer.
It's good to be the Kahn... but when, exactly?
@Alucard83 I agree 100%
F#€|< paid DLC. Worse practice to ever enter the industry. Back in my day we entered cheat codes to unlock customizations. We didn’t pay more money on top of a game.
What’s really really downright criminal is that more often than not these companies are delivering half baked games. Stripping down and selling you the complete game. They’re not adding to it genuinely like Nintendo does.
It’s downright horrible and I won’t stand for it.
I speak with my money. It’s all the industry understands.
Well Kotal Kahn good luck with that emperor status for now cause the real Kahn and emperor of Outworld is coming back to Mortal Kombat and I got him on pre-order so prepare yourself.
The gameplay keeps getting faster and smoother, but Netherrealm still sucks at animation.
@smashboy2000 awwwww yisssss
@judaspete A whole lot better than X
Mortal Kombat has gotten so ridiculously violent that I now actually find it legitimately funny.
That finishing move had me cracking up laughing.
@Bankaj That’s what sells it for us. The over the top, “you would instantly die from that” moves. It’s ridiculous, but damn is it enjoyable to look at
