German GamePro Features Mortal Kombat X Cover Story
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 [

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.

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.
Update: With thanks to MKOmmunity User

Kano is featured in gameplay screenshots [

check out the issue digitally!
