Mortal Kombat X/Trivia

• Jossed: Longtime fans had often pondered how closely related Goro and Kintaro were, if they were related at all beyond being Shokan (some even assumed Kintano was Goro's relative, like a distant cousin of sorts). In this game, Goro himself answers the question in pre-fight dialogue with Kitana. Not only are they not related at all, they don't even like each other. Goro calls him a "striped commoner".
• Meaningful Release Date: Jason was announced as a guest character on Friday the 13th.
• The Other Darrin: Several returning characters from Mortal Kombat 9 have new voice actors while Rain and Kenshi now have proper voices instead of just grunts.
  • Baraka: Bob Carter -> Greg Eagles
  • Goro: Ken Lally -> Vic Chao
  • Jax: Gerald C. Rivers -> Greg Eagles
  • Johnny Cage: Jeff Pilson -> Andrew Bowen
  • Kung Lao: Jin Hyong -> Will Yun Lee
  • Sektor: Andrew Kishino -> Vic Chao
  • Shinnok: Ken Lally -> Troy Baker
  • Sindel: Lani Minella -> Kelly Hu
  • Smoke: Ken Lally -> Andrew Bowen
  • Sonya: Dana Lyn Baron -> Tricia Helfer
  • Sub-Zero: Jim Miller -> Steve Blum
  • Jamieson Price voices Ermac, even though Michael McConnohie returned to voice Kano.
  • While Karen Strassman does reprise her role of Kitana, some of her battle grunts were oddly borrowed from Grey DeLisle during her stint as Catwoman in Injustice.
• Real Song Theme Tune:
  • Wiz Kahlifa's "Can't Be Stopped" was used in the game's first trailer ever.
  • "Chop Suey!" by System of a Down was chosen for the game's launch trailer.
• Role Reprisal:
  • Richard Epcar as Raiden.

  • Michael McConnohie as Kano.
  • Ronald M. Banks as Quan Chi.
  • Karen Strassman as Kitana and Mileena.
