Shaolin monk Kung Lao will return in Mortal Kombat X, according to Finnish video games magazine Pelaaja.
The new fighter is set 25 years after MK9 so as you’d expect Kung Lao is looking quite a bit older than you’ll remember him.
Kung Lao will have three play styles – as will all characters in MKX – Tempest, Buzz Saw and Hat Trick.
The styles are described by the magazine:
“With Tempest Kung Lao uses more spinning attacks and has the ability to set his hat to spin around him as a shield of sorts. In his Buzz Saw variation his hat is sharpened with razor blade edges and allows the player to control his hat throws more. Hat Trick is the most experimental of the three, because you can throw and call back your hat at any point you want. This keeps the opponent on their toes, because the hat can extend combos.”
Kung Lao joins other confirmed returning characters Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Quan Chi, Raiden, Kano and Goro.
Mortal Kombat X launches on April 14 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
