PlayStation 3 owners will be able to take control of Kratos, the protagonist from the God of War series, in the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot.
According to a report in the Official PlayStation Magazine (via StickSkills), Kratos will be an exclusive playable character in the PS3 version only. He'll even have his own fatalities, combat moves, and God of War-themed combat arena. Unfortunately, it looks as though Kratos will not be available for the game's story mode.
No word yet on what, if any, exclusive characters will appear in the Xbox 360 version.
Also making the rounds this morning is a potential leak of ten new characters appearing the game.
According to fan site TRMK, purported audio files from the game were accidently made public on the official website, revealing still-unannounced characters, game modes, and stage music. The files have since been removed, but not before someone was able to do some digging.
Here's the list of characters found:
- Goro
- Quan Chi
- Stryker
- Noob Saibot
- Sindel
- Kabal
- Shao Kahn
- Smoke
- Shang Tsung
- Ermac
Also according to the website, separate audio files suggest the classic "Test Your Might" mini-game will be making a return.
IGN has contacted Warner Bros. for comment on the supposed leak. We'll post their response when we hear back.
