But following today’s full trailer, there is more than what was expected.

Alongside the predicted extended story add-on for Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios has also revealed to be showcasing a handful of new characters to the fight as well. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

Taken from the first look at the upcoming expansion dubbed ‘Aftermath’, players can expect a new campaign of content to the game’s story that continues the decades-long story behind Mortal Kombat.

As for the new roster additions, NetherRealm Studios showcases the debut for Fujin, Sheeva and Peter Weller’s Robo Cop. Getting a closer look at the expansion also reveals that a free update will be coming the same day that Aftermath arrives at the end of the month.
