On its Twitch stream today the team over at NetherRealm revealed that Ermac is the newest character to be confirmed for Mortal Kombat X. A long time fan favourite there are plenty of people out there excited about this announcement.
Ermac is a fusion of many souls destroyed in Outworld’s wars who came to be controlled by Emperor Shao Kahn and his Shadow Priests. Because of this, he refers to himself as “we,” “us,” and “our” instead of “I,” “me,” and “my“. Due to the sheer concentration of souls within Ermac, he possesses the gift of telekinesis, and can travel to different realms. However, the depths of Netherrealm drain his powers and souls. He is weakened dramatically while there, but a mysterious stone dubbed the Soul Stone Shujinko found for him would protect his souls.
The uber-violent fighting game know for its gloriously bloody fatalities is set to debut on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, as well as last gen machines on April 14th. What do you think about the announcement? Are you an Ermac fan? More importantly… who’s next?
