Everything We Know About Mortal Kombat X: E3 Edition

NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. took E3 2014 by storm, showing off Mortal Kombat X in considerably more detail than what many expected. We have plenty of in-depth coverage on the way, including closer looks at each of the six playable characters in the demo, but for now, we compiled a list of everything you need to know about the Mortal Kombat X demo.
