The gang’s all here! NetherRealm Studios has just revealed that Ermac will be playable in Mortal Kombat X.
Once only a rumored glitch in the original Mortal Kombat, the telekinetic has gone on to be a hugely popular cast member in the long-running franchise. After appearing in the 2011’s Mortal Kombat, Ermac will be bringing his unique style of beating opponents down to the next installment.
Like the rest of the cast, Ermac will have three different variations to choose from: Master of Souls, which gives him access to different projectiles and the ability to disappear for a few seconds; Mystic, which enhances his telekinetic abilities and grants him access to moves like his grab and push; and Spectral, which gives him more mobility by way of a flight mode with its own exclusive attacks.
Ermac has retained much of his defensive, punishing gameplay seen in past installments, but the other versions open him in ways that will allow players unfamiliar with turtling to jump in and see what he’s all about.
Mortal Kombat X will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on April 14.
