German GamePro Magazine Features Mortal Kombat X Cover Story Ahead of Gamescom

Posted at 08/03/2014 11:31 AM EDT by

They took victory in the World Cup - now Germany is gearing up to play host to the global phenomenon of Mortal Kombat X in August!

The September issue of GamePro Magazine (German Edition) features Scorpion on the cover with The Last of Us Remastered and Destiny inset [pictured right].

The issue holds special significance as a precursor to August 14-17 -- when NetherRealm Studios will be in the beautiful city of Cologne for Gamescom 2014!

The annual trade fair has become a favourite destination for the NetherRealm team, who've used it as a place to unveil new characters in their fighting game series. Raiden was revealed during July's Evo Championship. A new reveal is currently rumoured for Gamescom [full story].

If the cover is anything to go by, it looks like the Germans are going to love Mortal Kombat X! [Who'd have thought?]. GamePro touts a cover quote that (roughly translated) promises the scandalous fighter will set standards in more than just brutality! An important factor to consider in the notoriously strict German gaming market, where censorship laws always threaten a ban.

MKOmmunity User MKKosh claims the issue also reveals a new playable character. Mortal Kombat Online hopes to verify that claim before reporting. You can help by purchasing the new issue online, or on newsstands where available.

Kano appears in GamePro 7 page cover story on sale now.

Update: With thanks to MKOmmunity User immortalkombat; we can now confirm Kano is featured in gameplay screenshots [not pictured]! This is great incentive to check out the issue digitally! Register to share all your thoughts on the Mortal Kombat X forum!

Ed retweeted the magazine cover on twitter; according to some guy in the comments, Kano is not confirmed by the article (as I suspected.)

This sounds more like it. I mean why would a reveal like that be featured in a game magizine just 2 weeks before GamesCom?

Ya know, even though Kano is one of my least liked characters, I think I'd be fine with him being revealed next. I'm extremely confident in NRS when it comes to MKX, and I think they could make even Kano look/play like a total badass.

Even if it's not true, I'll take anything at this point. lol

He's the face of the studio and brand, don't be surprised.

Really hope there is a playable character shown in that issue.

No words of Tag team. There are 2 pictures. One with his knifethrow at raiden and one with a kneebash in kotal khan's Face. He Shows older than in mk 9 but his Hair is still black but very Short. His cybernetic eye Looks New designed. I wish i can show it to you, but scans are Not allowed as You know. I was suprised to See a new fighter in the article. But the pictures in the mag confirm kano is in mk x! Please believe me. I think the pictures will make it's Way online very Soon!

I am not surprised, I expect it.

I am thinking no new character will be shown so close to GamesCom. If there is a new character shown then said character will be shown with gameplay at GamesCom hopefully with another character.

And yet again a fan who is serious enough to buy a magazine for MK has never had an account here before...

Do I want to believe you ? Yes.

Do I believe you? Not by a long shot.

Is it really that really difficult to believe? That someone can seriously like MK and never make an account here?

Come on. I've loved MK for a LONG time, and I've lurked around MKO for a while, but I never really had an inclination to join until recently. If he's telling the truth, he probably just wanted to be the first to break the story to other fans. *shrug*

Not saying I'm taking this at face value 100%, but I have no reason to disbelieve him either.

And if he's really trolling, what are we out? Nothing, tbh.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, because why not?

Talk about hype killer if this is true. First the only reveal in two months is Raiden who should have been announced at E3 because he's so obvious.

Now, a possible Kano reveal? Yeah I am SOOO stoked for that. As far as I'm concerned Kano is one of those who can stay far away from MKX.

Why? Given what NRS has shown us thus far, I think they could actually make Kano interesting this time around. And I'm by no means a Kano fan, so no bias there.

Plus, he was one of the MK9 survivors, so I could definitely see him being back.

Guys it's real!

I downloaded it online for $3.99 euros

Kano is in, he looks different has armour on his arms and like a leather harness over his torso with what looks like a similar thing (artificial heart) that Hsu Hao had

Not overly excited with his inclusion but at least he looks different to his usual self

I don't know how they are going to explain how he and Cassie are in the same game as he doesn't look older

I just don't like Kano and probably never will. He's boring to me. Key words TO ME.

I would much rather see an Ermac, Fujin, Tanya, hell just about anyone else besides him.

These three can take a prolonged seat IMO. Sheeva, Kano, and Baraka.

Hell, I'd much rather see a new character over any of those.

So he has more cybernetic enhancements? Probably that will explain that he does not look older or that the Kano we are viewing is from the start of the game and an alternate costume will have him aged more.

I have been a Fan of mk since i played the first one on Arcade. I read News and follow the forum since mk deadly alliance. This is the First time that i know something new of an mk game before i noticed anyone else posted it online. I just wanted to share my knowledge with every other mk fan! Btw.: his costume is Not white like mk 1 or black like mk 9. He wears grey Camouflage pants. His Upper Body is naked. He has this red glowing Light on his breast. Like iron man.

It's more blue camo I thought,

Unfortunately the pics aren't very big in the mag but because I have the digital copy I can zoom in,

His head is a completely different model to the one from MK9 as he looks different in the face

I like his new look as it's more fitting of a mercenary

Well I do believe Immortal Kombat so... Good news!

I'm sorry but every time a game goes into full swing, we get less than 1% credible info. Good find!

Yes, good find and welcome to MKO! Hell of a way to join, friend.

Someone give this man some Dragon Points.

Thanks mate,

We've known each other on here for many years, back in the MK Deception days

I'd never post anything until I've seen it with my own two eyes

No new arenas are in the mag and since I don't speak German I can't read the article but there's some nice pics of raiden in there, funnily enough there is hardly any of scorpion or subby

Hm, Kano was one of the characters that had a good chance of having kids considering his lifestyle on Earthrealm so I'm surprised he's in and not a descendant but ugh Kano. Although tbh if you were in MK vs DCU you've got a good chance to be in this game.
