Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios released a new Mortal Kombat 11 gameplay trailer during EVO 2019 featuring Nightwolf. According to a press release about the character:
Nightwolf, born as Grey Cloud, is a proud and fierce warrior dedicated to the cause of good and chosen by the Great Spirit to become the Matoka tribe’s champion and protector. Along with his signature tomahawk swing, Nightwolf possesses extraordinary magic that allows him to manifest weapons created from spirit energy to fight for the Matoka’s future and defend all of Earthrealm.
Originally appearing in Mortal Kombat 2, Nightwolf will be arriving as part as Mortal Kombat 11‘s Kombat Pack DLC alongside Shang Tsung, Spawn, Sindel, and more to be announced.
Despite being announced during EVO, series director Ed Boon emphasized he didn’t want it to be an EVO announcement. He later clarified on Twitter "MK11 players waiting to hear news about DLC characters. We know this timing isn’t ideal and FWIW this isn’t our choice. But thanks for hanging in there with us."
Nightwolf will be available beginning August 13. In other gaming news, check out E. Honda, Poison, and Lucia in Street Fighter V.
