The game is due out this year, and here are just a few of the (many) reasons to be pretty excited about that.

3. Whoa, That's a Lotta Characters!

The key to every fighting game is the players you can go to battle with. Mortal Kombat X won't be short of dealers of death. There are more than 20 characters confirmed, including series mainstays Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Reptile and more.

4. It Runs at 1080p & 60 FPS!

Good news for you keen-sighted gamers out there. Mortal Kombat X will run the Unreal 3 engine at 1080p and 60 FPS on your machine, according to the game's developer.

5. Mobile Game

Prior to the console release of Mortal Kombat X, the developers announced a free-to-play mobile version that is a mix between a fighting game and a turn-based card battle. Now you can have Mortal Kombat wherever you go.

6. Faction Wars

A new feature in Mortal Kombat X is the online Faction Wars game mode. Each user will be able to choose between one of five factions. After deciding which side to join, every action you take in the game will contribute points to your team, and the faction with the most points at the end of the week earns a prize.

The brand new customized Mortal Kombat X controller is developed for Playstation 4 and XBOX One. In your attempt to make it easier to destroy your enemies, the controller moves the left and right bumpers to the front right.

13. Cut Scenes Will Be Interactive

Cutscenes won't just be for sittin' and watchin'. During some cinematic parts you'll be asked to complete quick time events that'll alter how the next fight will be presented. So stay on your toes!

14. Is that Jason?! Run!

Iconic Friday the 13th madman Jason Voorhees will be included in a downloadable add-on called the Kombat Pack.

15. It's Kinda Like The Godfather

With an emphasis on story, Mortal Kombat X will borrow influences from Hollywood as the plot plays out. The game's developer, NetherRealm, said that narrative form will remind some of The Godfather: Part II, with a non-linear story that will connect characters from past and present.

For instance, Im not so achievement crazed that Id go for 100% game completion on GTA I just dont have that kind of time, or effort. It also takes a special game for me to want to get every achievement for it. For instance, Dying Light inspired me quite recently to go for the 100% achievement completion and I wouldnt say that its the best game Ive played on the Xbox One so far. I think that it just has a good set of achievements, which fit well with the game, and make me want to both keep playing and keep achieving. However, I am occasionally guilty of getting what I like to call Achievement fever."
