The action is heating up in Mortal Kombat X as the Outworld Civil War escalates in an exclusive preview posted by Bloody Disgusting. Kotal Kahn is marshalling the troops in Chapter 7 of the DC Comics series, which has a healthy dose of romance just in time for St. Valentine's Day!

As the Outworld civil war reaches its breaking point, Emperor Kotal Kahn sends his most trusted warriors to take down the would-be Empress Mileena. But what happens when a surprise kombatant joins the fight? Enter GORO, the Shokan prince!

The Emperor means business in Chapter 7, summoning his father Kotal K'Etz to personally enter the fray in possession of the Wrath Hammer of Shao Kahn! The true threat isn't would-be Empress Mileena - but rather the cunning warlord general Reiko who has allied himself with Kahn's adopted daughter in the wake of the Emperor's demise! As the charismatic Kotal notes, history is written in blood, but before the day is done he may come to regret sending his kin.

Also this issue: Prince Goro marches into kombat on behalf of Mileena, but it sounds as if the Shokan warrior may be missing in action very shortly. The pre-order warrior won't be gone for too long. As the trailers promise - Goro Lives, and will be playable from April 14th!
