The latest instalment of NetherRealm’s most popular fighter, Mortal Kombat 11, is about to launch and fans are eagerly awaiting to get stuck into the most ambitious (and most polished and engaging) story in the game’s history.
For the first time, veteran fighters and newcomers will appear alongside each other in a time-travelling story that brings kombatants from the present to the past and vice-versa. Baraka, Sonya Blade (voiced by MMA fighter Ronda Rousey), Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Shao Kahn are just a few of the favourites set to return.
With the game’s release date, 23 April 2019, fast approaching, we’re giving away an awesome Mortal Kombat hamper (sponsored by Gamefinity). Here is your chance to win a copy of the game (on PlayStation 4, XBox One or Nintendo Switch), a branded key chain, cap and a Fokof Lager vs Mortal Kombat 11 gamer 6 Pack.
The violence in the Mortal Kombat franchise has grown steadily over the years, as has its roster. While the first game, released in 1992, only had 7 characters to choose from, Mortal Kombat XL had over 30 playable fighters and we can most probably expect the same from Mortal Kombat 11, which looks even gorier and more intense than its predecessors. And the list of confirmed characters keeps growing:
- Baraka
- Cassie Cage
- D’Vorah
- Geras (New Male Character)
- Cetrion (New Female Character)
- Johnny Cage
- Kabal
- Kano
- Kronika (New Female Character)
- Kung Lao
- Liu Kang
- Kotal Kahn
- Raiden
- Scorpion
- Shao Kahn (Pre-order Bonus)
- Skarlet
- Sonya Blade
- Sub-Zero
- Jade
- Jacqui Briggs
- Jax Briggs
- Erron Black
- Noob Saibot
- The Kollector
- Kitana
- Frost (Leaked & Unofficial)
- Shinnok (Shown in Story Mode)
- Shang Tsung (DLC Character)
You can pre-order Mortal Kombat 11 for access to the bonus character Shao Kahn. The Premium Edition of the game will also include six new DLC characters, and one-week early access, as well as seven new skins and gear sets.
Mortal Kombat 11 releases on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on 23 April 2019.

To stand a chance of winning this awesome Mortal Kombat 11 hamper (sponsored by Gamefinity), all you need to do is tell us who your favourite Mortal Kombat character is (in the comments section below). Please use a working email address.

Scorpion. For 2 reasons. Firstly, I’m born in November and so is my wife. Secondly, I only ever win against her in the Mortal Kombat arcade games when I play as Scorpion. Otherwise, she knocks me flat on my back.

I really hope to win competition as this has *always* been my most favourite game to play, in all its incarnations, and no other game has come close.
My favourite character has always been Mileena because she’s one badass bitch and I love her maniacal laugh. But it appears that she may not be in MK11. WTF?
Raiden (he’s super powerful), Scorpion (threw words: get over here) and Sub-Zero (because he literally freezes others – I’d love to do that to some people in our world LOL) are also awesome characters.
Sub Zero
Scorpion

Liu Kang is my favorite. ever since i could go to the game shop and line up my 50c on the screen just to continue Shang Tsung.
Raiden (original god of thunder)
Sub-Zero
Noob Saibot
Liu Kang!!!
Micheal Jai White’s re-,imagined cinematic version of Jackson Briggs.
Kano – I am an old school gamer who grew up in the arcades, the iconic “heart grab through the chest” fatality is what made me a life long fan.
Liu Kang
Sonya Blade, teenage crush.
Johnny Cage
Sonya Blade

Raiden
Raiden
I’ve always been a huge Sub-Zero fan. He absolutely rocks. Best fatalities by far.
Scorpion
Johnny Cage! :D
I must say Ferra/Torr – Because who doesn’t want to fling a child from their shoulder now and then at someone who upsets you..
Sub-Zero
Appropriately now that Winter is upon us ..
SubZero is my favourite character. Whats not to like about a guy that can freeze you and rip your head off with relative ease. You take that type of guy home to your parents and he is definitely going to charm them with his cold puns and his ability to defeat Scorpion.
Johnny Cage!
Erron Black
Scorpion
Baraka! Always and forever.
Mileena. Beauty and beast personified.
Scorpion “Get over here!!!”
Jax
Johnny Cage
Jax Briggs

Smoke… Robot and Rebooted human form.
Sub-Zero would definitely be my favorite because let’s admit it – ice/water is the coolest element!! Waterbenders are the most powerful at full potential.
Sub Zero
Sub Zero
Scorpion! Always finish the towers with him before trying the rest of the characters.
Raiden
Baraka – He was the first character who’s fatality I could figure out in early MK games and I just gravitate to him and his arm blades and his million dollar smile. :-)
Scorpion
Raiden. He’s Uber cool! And the Thunder God.
Kitana
Liu Kang!
Scorpion everytime
Always Sub-Zero for me, from the first Mortal Kombat!
Ever since playing the first Mortal Kombat on the arcades for 50c (yes i am that old) I have been a RAIDEN fan because thunder god, protector of the earth realm, best combos, the list is endless!
Scorpion!
Scorpion!
Scorpion! Ever since childhood at the arcade!
