Ed Boon Narrates New Details in Machinima Raiden Trailer

NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Talks Through Official Raiden Trailer

Posted at 08/04/2014 05:35 PM EDT by

Series co-creator and on-going Creative Director Ed Boon narrates a new Mortal Kombat X preview trailer from Machinima. New details emerge in the clip - featuring Raiden.

With emphasis on the new Character Variation system, much of the video revisits territory covered in Evo's live Raiden Reveal Trailer. Boon walks through each of Raiden's electrifying fight styles: Thunder God (Electrocution Kombos), Displacer (Teleportation) & Storm Lord (Lightning Traps).

More intriguing are the story details! Raiden faces newcomer Kotal Kahn - who for the first time is revealed to be the new Emperor of Outworld! Less revelatory, but refreshingly decisive, is the continuing predicament of Mortal Kombat (2011), which left many of the series' iconic fighters dead and in the infernal service of Quan Chi.

"In MKX, Raiden finds himself with many of his allies dead or gone. Leaving him to face Kotal Kahn: a new Emperor who has taken over Outworld."

Despite the sprawling twenty-five year timeline of Mortal Kombat X - it's clear klassic fighters will still find a place in the 2015 sequel. MK original Kano is confirmed to feature in screenshots pictured in the latest issue of GamePro Magazine Germany.

Germany will be on our minds throughout August as we gear up for NetherRealm Studios' next promotional stop: Gamescom 2014! The annual trade fair is just over a week away and promises to show more from the hotly anticipated fighter!

All jokes aside this leaves more questions then answers. After the power vacuum at the end of Mortal Kombat 9 it is intriguing to see how a character from nowhere come and take the throne of OutWorld. What happenned to the other OutWorlders and did not he NetherRealm forces attack OutWorld and take it for themselves like they were planning. So far nothing being mentioned of the NetherRealm.

Maybe Kotal doesn't show up right away, he might only pop up once whatever happened with Quan Chi and Shinnok is finished.

Indeed or Kotal could be working with Shinnok and used his help to conquer OutWorld. I do not think Kotal is the main antagonist so there must be someone higher up the chain of command.

I said this during his reveal that this has to be, by far, the best kind of new moves to give him. I really appreciate what they have done to Raiden. I did play as him quite often in 2011 but his gameplay was sort of a bore for me. However, with this one, I'm definitely digging basically everything I've seen with him so far.

Agreed. I'm more interested in playing as Raiden than I think I ever have been. Displacer looks fun as hell.

This is more interesting than the Kano reveal.

The music in this is totally bad-ass, I hope it's similar for every reveal in the future.

I agree on Lambert being the best Rayden :) He had this presence I'm talking about. Rayden should have intro where he teases witch just a small amount electricity the opponent while telling him something funny like Christopher Lambert :)

Lambert the best Raiden? Have you seen Jeff Meek's performance? I think nothing can top that. Well, maybe Jeff Meek as Shao Kahn

Fine, Kano *leak*

Leak or not, it still revealed Kano's appearance in the game. A reveal doesn't need to be a youtube video. A mere screenshot is a reveal as well. As long it shows something new, it is a reveal.

Yeah, it revealed Kano. No, it still isn't a reveal.

Are you gonna say that what happened back with MK9 was a reveal, too? Stop taking words so literally.

Kano's reveal only seems lackluster because he was shown through low-res screenshots. People will be sucking his dick when we get a character video of him.

Well, maybe an emperor needs a empress. The "Kahn" in Kotal Kahn's name could symbolized Kotal Kahn's needed to legitimate his rule over Outworld. And he, maybe, just took the "Kahn" in a treacherous way, just added to his name. But there's a chance he could take the throne via Mileena and added the Kahn with her legitimacy.

Shao Kahn tooks Sindel and KItana as her family to legitimate her domain over Edenia. Of course, he conquer Edenia, but it is a totally unfair conquer. He legitimate her domain over Edenia via Kitana & Sindel. Maybe the acces to the power needs a female componente. But it absolutely speculative.

I like the idea, too, Mileena and Baraka was exiled -not murdered- and she want back what belong to her. New adversaries, Mileena and Kotal Kahn. Or new allies, Mileena and Kotal Kahn.

Yup.

That and the costume, but again, it's low quality so I'm sure there's plenty of eccentric details that are blurred and blended.

Do I really need to show the definition of what reveal means? I guess I do...

reveal
verb
1.
make (previously unknown or secret information) known to others.

And that is EXACTLY what happened with Kano in the Gamepro magazine...

Yeah, just like most people are fawning over Raiden after being so "unimpressed" by his announcement.

Oh, I'm sorry, leaks that aren't intended to be revealed to the public are clearly "reveals" now, only because they show something new.

Oh my God. XD

It was put in a magazine... so of course it was meant to be shown to the public!

Raiden is well liked though. And I don't think anyone was ever unimpressed by what they've seen of Raiden in MKX but people were disappointed that the EVO reveal was another character we knew was 100% going to be in the game.

Raiden doesn't have lightning, he wields electricity, thanks.

Excuse me for not being sergically accurate in a momentary forum post on my ipad. I'm sorry to have insulted your infinite dedication. However, I stand corrected.

Umm no, Casselman, you're actually right. Raiden is wielding lightning...because electricity and lightning are the same thing...obviously.

And if you really want to get down to the nitty gritty about it, then DarkenedSoul is way off...since electricity is for all intents and purposes *invisible* (being currents of electrons), while lightning is the *visible* manifestation of electricity after the charge held by said electrons is discharged.

So, yeah, you're actually very much correct...Raiden has mastery over electricity, but more specifically, he manifests said electricity more often than not as lightning.

Thus, he wields lightning.

Exactly.

Raiden's reveal got a (mostly) tepid response, but tunes change when more info is shown.

On Kotal Kahn: Amid the fresh, new controversy (son of Shao? New Outworld ruler?) I think he'll really make an impact on not just the story, but the fans as well. I think he and D'vorah will be the breakout stars.

Raiden's moves are great, just don't care for his look anymore. The white needs to be changed up or have stuff added to it like in MKDA where he looked his best outside MKD dark raiden.

But enough Raiden. Show me Fujin or Shinnok.
