GameSpot has released a new trailer that not only satisfies (if just temporarily) the craving of every MK fan anticipating this title, but gives us the first gameplay shots of the Dragon King himself! In one scene, the Dragon King is shown grabbing his opponent, taking him high into the air and slamming him to the ground. In another, he kicks an opponent into spikes that line the entire edge of a never before seen arena. This just may be the boss we've all been waiting for! Other points of interest include several new Death Traps; One opponent is crushed by a falling Buddha statue, a second is knocked into the surf, only to find themselves being mauled to death by piranhas, while a third is shown falling into a vast bed of spikes that somewhat resembles the Pit from MK1. More insight regarding Konquest mode is shown, giving us brief glimpses of Tanya, Reptile, Kitana and various other new Konquest footage. As far as gameplay footage goes, Kabal, Shujinko and Kira are all seen in action for the first time, including one of Kira's fatalities where she pins the opponent's feet to the floor with her knives then proceeds to rip off their torso, and Baraka performing a Hari Kiri, cutting off his own head. This is definitely one of the most exciting videos we've seen in a while.
