The Project: Mortal Kombat has a long pedigree of vicious and visceral violence—and fans can’t get enough. For the release of Mortal Kombat X, a series of videos introduced fans to a few... “lesser-known” characters, like The Janitor who has to clean up the messes left by the Kombatants, and The Doctor, who takes pride in her 24/7 triage unit, stitching the losers back together.
These images—inspired by actual impalement x-rays—dramatize the cruel realities of losing a match.
Eagle-eyed fans caught an Easter Egg in the form of the Predatorʼs iconic wrist-blades, a secret character slated to appear in the game’s upcoming expansion pack.
