14 DAY TRIAL // NetherRealm has just unveiled some more details about its upcoming Mortal Kombat game for the PS Vita platform, detailing the extra content that’s included besides the full experience seen last year on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Mortal Kombat impressed lots of people with its return to the franchise’s violent roots back in 2011 and now, after the launch of the PS Vita earlier this year, developer NetherRealm is getting ready to debut the fighting game on the portable device.
We’ve already heard a few things about the title, and we've also seen it in action thanks to gameplay videos.
Now, the developer has shared some more details about the game and how it will deliver the perfect fighting experience for gamers on the go.
“Developing Mortal Kombat for PS Vita was an incredibly rewarding experience for the team here at NetherRealm Studios,” the developer said. “The ability to utilize the numerous new features available on PS Vita was a very gratifying mission, and we are delivering the best possible on-the-go fighting experience for fans.”
Mortal Kombat on the Vita will include a whopping 150 new Challenge Tower missions that will focus both on traditional fighting skills and on the special features of the portable console, from the front touchscreen to the accelerometer.
“With all of these features, two new exclusive modes (Test Your Balance and Test Your Slice) and both ad-hoc (local) and WiFi (intrastructure) Versus mode options, we had an amazing time this past weekend at PAX East 2012 showing Mortal Kombat for PS Vita to fans. We had quite a few fans come back and bring their friends to show them the new features—and to challenge them to some old-fashioned 1 vs 1 Kombat.”
Mortal Kombat for the PS Vita is out on May 1. Until then, check out the full version of the live action promotional video we saw last week, starring a lovely gamer girl as Kitana.
