IGN Release First Screenshots of Kenshi in Mortal Kombat X Mobile!

Posted at 03/03/2015 06:11 PM EST by

The blind sword saint is back! IGN has featured the first screenshot of Kenshi, battling Kotal Kahn in the newly announced Mortal Kombat X mobile.

A thumbnail appeared as a story preview on the site, with the full screenshot appearing exclusively on the IGN mobile app. A fitting home for the mobile reveal of a new character. No word on Kenshi's status for consoles & PC. NetherRealm Studios' previous console counterpart mobile title Injustice: Gods Among Us did not feature exclusive characters until later in its lifespan.

The screenshot ends months of speculation about the character, who was last seen as a downloadable extra included in Mortal Kombat (2011). Rumors of a Mortal Kombat X return began in October, when Creative Director Ed Boon shared a photo from the motion capture studio. Further teases ensued, including fantasy film casting.

Kenshi was the first character to appear on the page in Mortal Kombat X - the brand's first comic book maxi-series in twenty years [preview]. The story revealed a new relationship between Kenshi and Scorpion, bridged by the introduction of his son (and Scorpion's new apprentice) - Takashi Takeda [full story]. Takeda quickly found himself confronted by a powerful demon -- potentially explaining Kenshi's Possessed Variation in the screenshot.

Takeda was introduced to the playable roster in the recent Story Mode Trailer. Is Kenshi soon to follow? Register to discuss who's next in the Mortal Kombat X forum! Special thanks to MK Online User JaymzHetfield for sharing images.

Guess that leaked roster is true and we get 9 freaking family members. Come on NRS, have some balls and let these old farts die..such a waste. Klassik DLC might be 3D era now..

Exactly, such a lazy approach. At least try scars or changed appearance or something.

That second face looks more like Sub-Zero to me then Shinnok. I see what looks like a mask.

Anyone notice how the sword looks to be broken into pieces and bloody? Maybe the visual cue for this possessed variation? Interesting...

Yep, me and BC were speculating it may be Kamidogu related.

Hsu Hao destroyed it, when kenshi threw it at him in the comics, maybe he uses his telekinesis to hold it together.

Also maybe him being possessed is why he's been gone for so long, and isn't as bad a parent as you would think.(since Takeda prolly hasnt seen him since that first night with scorpion.

How the fuck can anyone tell that's Shinnok from a tiny, very blurred image?

"Welcome to MKX, here's your complimentary beard"

Seriously why do so many people have beards?

Anyway I think we all knew this was coming since kenshi's one of the good 3D alums and that teaser motion capture image from months ago.

Interested to hear more about his sword being all broken and shit, and the possibility of him being possessed as stated by the variation name.

I hope he's not a mobile only character, that would be pretty shitty. Oh and he's not one of the boots which is interesting.

So I guess when MK characters get old the males all grow beards and the females get permanently angry.

What can I say... AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kenshi LOOKS GREAT! Love that beard (whats up with beards???) love the outfit, love everything about him and I can ́t be happier now with this game. This is just great news for me

Looks like a mixture of his classic outfit and the alternate PSP Neo-esque version: THIS LOOKS SPECTACULAR

Can ́t wait to see his alternates and I hope he has his classic outfit too!!!!

Sonya probably wishes she was an Edenian.

Sub-Zero went bald in Deception save for the queue. Not a popular look.

He looks great!!! (I don't see the Ermac similarities).

The variation name is interesting, probably with the sword broken in that variation he has to hold the spirits within himself. If he wants to access those powers he has to break the sword again lol.

And I'm really liking all those beards haha,

Now with Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage and Kenshi, 4 of my 5 favorite characters are in the game (they also were in MK9), only one more to make this super awesome!!

That broken Sento looks interesting but I really hope we have a proper sword in the other variations... I would not like to have a Ivy-esque sword fighting for Kenshi, I wouldnt like too much magic there...

The name of the variation tells me it's very story related. Which means YES to being on the consoles.

Fuck yes! I Love Kenshi. That's 2 of my Top5. Now I need Reiko, Rain, and NoobSaibot.
