Mortal Kombat X Mobile Now Available on iOS Devices

We’ve still got just under a week left until Mortal Kombat X finally hits shelves, but today, the folks at NetherRealm Studios did their part in making that wait a little more manageable by releasing Mortal Kombat X Mobile.

In last week’s Kombat Kast, the team revealed details surrounding this mobile pairing to the upcoming title. It’s a free-to-play card battler which plays out fights much like the game itself, with controls designed specifically for touch screens. In it, players can select their faction and, through playing the game, can unlock things for the non-mobile version such as alternate costumes. The examples that we got to see were Ninja Mime Johnny Cage and Farmer Jax, so there’s definitely a lighthearted feel to at least some aspect of this brutal slug fest.

The mobile version of the title is available on iOS devices right now, but has not yet made its way to the Google Play store. Since the trailer, which you’ll find below, advertises availability on Android devices, we can only assume that the delay before it comes to the second platform will be brief.
