There's a new red band trailer for
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge online, and it's... quite something.
The footage kicks off with the murder of Hanzo Hasashi's family at the hands of Sub-Zero and his clan, and his resurrection as the vengeful Scorpion. We then see the likes of Liu Kang, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade in action, as Shang Tsung introduces his combatants to the Mortal Kombat Tournament.
There's blood, guts, and flying limbs galore here, as this adaptation is clearly taking influence from the ultra-violent "fatalities" of the video games. It does look a bit juvenile and edge-lord-y, but doesn't seem to be taking itself too seriously at the same time, and should be a lot of fun for fans of these characters.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is set to be released on Digital on April 12, and Blu-ray and DVD on April 28.
