Three experts - zero nonsense. Start your speculation engines! NetherRealm Studio has released a cryptic live-action trailer to their YouTube channel, asking the question: "Three new reasons to Fight?" Other powers may be at work - but who they are is yet to be revealed in the 37 second video:

It's all about going "Beyond Kombat" - past the fighters and fatalities, and onto...? A safe bet could be behind the scenes of the hit 2015 fighter: Mortal Kombat X.

During the course of pre-release coverage we were given inside glimpses of sound and character development, motion capture, full motion video, downloadable content, international localization & promotional merchandise. With the introduction of the Kombat Kast and "community specialist[s]" the cult of personality has certainly become a large component in the extended promotional lifespan of the game.

If three experts will give fans a reason to fight, however, we may speculate it's more about being in front of the game screen. Fans playing Mortal Kombat X online have already had at least one streamed opportunity to hunt developers - a challenge that spurs players on to obtain a special gamertag kard and achievement for beating NetherRealm staff.

As announced on the most recent NetherRealm Kombat Kast - Klassic Fatalities and the Kold War Scorpion skin are now available to everyone for free! If you haven't gained access to the downloadable content yet, you should be able to very soon!

The klassic killing techniques of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade & Johnny Cage make-up a four fighter assault for Klassic Fatalities Pack 1. A second pack will be on its way at a later date, uncovered in data in April [full story].

Fans can match their fatalities to their character skins with previously released Klassic attire. Retro versions of the characters are available as in-game unlockables, compatibility patch freebies [ie; Sub-Zero], or in the for sale Klassic Skins Pack 1 [Sonya]. A second wave pack of klassic skins is coming to online stores soon [full story].

The Kold War Scorpion alternative skin will also now be available for free download. Released previously as a GameStop pre-order exclusive [watch trailer]: the skin was designed by fan-artist fear-sAs, and sold for an additional expense of $5 above standard Premium Editions [full story]. Its subsequent free release has caused noted controversy amongst pre-order consumers.

Mortal Kombat X welcomes its second cross-franchise guest character beginning Tuesday with the arrival of The Predator! The alien hunter is Kombat Pack first July 7th, before hitting online stores for individual purchase July 14th!

For Kombat Pack holders, Predator won't come alone! Star of the 1987 film Carl Weathers leaps out of his role as Agent George Dillon, assuming the metal arms of Special Forces kombatant: Jax!

The actor's likeness features in the trailer as one of three skins coming to the DLC pack, along with Commando Johnny Cage and Infrared Scorpion [full story].

The trailer also seems to hunt down and annihilate any theories of a bonus Predator spaceship arena. The hunter's trophies appear to merely be part of a cinematic win sequence. It references the mythology associated with the character, which is also well represented in deadly attacks taken straight from the film!
