IGN Reveals Mortal Kombat 11 Johnny Cage

Midnight premier for Cage's latest outing!

Posted at 02/27/2019 03:05 AM EST by

It's a midnight premier for movie star turned MK champion Johnny Cage! The klassic kombatant makes his official debut in Mortal Kombat 11 thanks to an exclusive reveal by IGN! Watch:

The reveal trailer debuted right on time at IGN.com, with a showreel of moves you cannot fake! Johnny fights fast and furious, moving freely with versions of his klassic shadow kick and projectile that look deadly!

It's some of the little details that really impress! Johnny may've fired his stylist to go for the tactical look, but his stunt double is available for a full nelson double team. His acting chops are still on point with a little mid-fight mime work recalling his infamous Ninja Mime movie, but he's also branched out to use flash photography to stun his opponents! That teaser shared by Ed Boon comes into focus as well, as Cage uses multiple takes to deliver a jaw dropping triple uppercut fatality that ends with that finger in the perfect action movie slo-mo!

Johnny Cage is back and better than ever before! Which scene was the most memorable from this action packed trailer? Be back to tune-in later today for a Kombat Kast breakdown of Cage, and share your reviews on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

Well damn, this may very well be my favorite version of Johnny Cage. His expressions and humor are on point, he looks fun to play, and that fatality was fantastic. I can't wait to get my hands on him.

Meh, I just can’t get excited for Cage no matter what they do with his character. Every time they announce a new MK game they should just straight up reveal, Sub, Scorpion, Raiden, Cage, Sonya, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Jax and Kano so they are done and out of the way then save the real “surprise” or more unexpected reveals for the lead up to the games release to better build hype and intrigue!

Thank god NRS listens to the fans and FINALLY brought back Johnny Cage. It’s great to see him FINALLY return to a Mortal Kombat. It’s been too long....

As you can tell I’m very excited to see the epic return of this classic fan favourite we’ve been waiting years to see make a comeback. Noob Saibot, Reiko, Havik, Smoke, Rain and ect, I’m so sick of those guys being in every Mortal Kombat game. This is a breath of fresh air in the franchise.

I stayed up for this and was not disappointed! My favorite character is back!

And the fatality showcased was tremendous. He breaks the fourth wall and not so subtly references the original movie ("Where do they get these guys?").

You said it! Now if only they could reveal another long absent fan favourites like Jax and Kitana. That would be awesome!

I just saw the trailer right now. I am not convinced about his gameplay. I need to watch the Kombat Kast to get a deeper view of him. But the fatality was one of the best of all MK games!

I wasnt looking forward to Johnny at all. That trailer changed my mind. He looks fast, fun, and that fatality - easily one of the best out of the past decade. Bravo, NRS. Bland costume but gameplay looks magnificent.

Don't know if you are ironic or not, but I'd rather have one Johnny Cage in every game than a thousand of Hotaru, Dairou, Darrius, etc once in a while.

Especially if the character always feels fresh and new. In the past games he never looked like an actual martial arts actor who makes his own stunts, now he does.

Ironically Johnny has a stunt-double in this game :D

Either way, I'd love to see the 3D-era characters reimagined for modern MK games. And would definitely be interested in exploring other realms again. Earthrealm is getting boring. Why not have Kitana, Sindel, and Netherealm invade Outwold in the hopes of freeing Edenia. Rain and Ermac would actually get bigger, more meaningful roles for a change - and we could take a break from Earthrealm and Johnny/Sonya etc

I hope this is the beginning of a few IGN reveal trailers, even if it's every week.

The stages look so awesome, as we can see that this is the stage with the train in it.

I wonder what the the HUGE announcement will be tonight...

Holy shit! Liked Johnny in MKX, love him (so far) in 11!

As for the announcement tonight I’m hoping they’ll confirm if the rumour that the beta will last a month is true!! That would be siiiiick

That callback to the fatality glitch from MK & MK2 (it was intentional in MK2) was absolutely gdlike! I'm also really digging the stunt double and his gameplay in general can't wait to see more during the Kombat Kast!

I noticed that too. Brought a smile to my face, hearing that reference :).
And also a classic MKII Johnny Cage. (or it does appear to more the outfit of MK4/Gold ?) *or scratch that... MK9 apparantly, though that one was also inspired by the classic ones*

The character are very good this game around, a lot of personality in them.

And now we've seen that train level.

Oh good, we're still going with the Special Forces look why would he ever wearing anything other than a tan vest a black shirt and slacks right? It's not like he's a cocky glamorous showboating hollywood action star or anything. *Sigh* at least he's wearing sun glasses this time.

And before anyone uses the "customization" excuse let me just save you the trouble and counter you right now. First impressions are everything. Being able to customize a characters appearance is not an excuse for a bad default design.

Also it's good to see the insufferable millennial who wrote all the dialogue for the Kombat Kids got their fatality idea into the game. Yeah I did not like that at all.

I actually agree. Get the core legacy characters out of the way, let us deconstruct, discuss and appreciate them and then switch to the left hook and start surprising us.

This is probably the most creative they've ever gone with Johnny Cage and I'm very impressed. Stunt doubles, action figures, camera crew. Complainers be damned. I loved that trailer.

Looks like they changed Baraka's spark to a high.

Johnny Cage has the most personality we ever seen in a MK game. Love the references to his movies. Throwing his glasses was a nice touch. The fatality was pretty funny too.
