NetherRealm Studios has been releasing new characters for Mortal Kombat over the last couple months, adding new Kombatants Rain, Kenshi and Scarlet in quick succession, all the while teasing a fourth new and mysterious addition to the roster.
Who is this new character that can go toe-to-toe with the meanest, most skilled and supremely brutal fighters we’ve yet witnessed in a videogame?
None other than the master of nightmares himself, Freddy Krueger.
That horrific slasher movie icon will be joining the Mortal Kombat roster in August, and you’ll be able to play as him with by shelling out $5 (without a Mortal Kombat season pass, of course).
Watch below as Krueger slashes, mauls, rends and damns Mortal Kombat’s top personalities with the reveal trailer:

Mortal Kombat are doing a great job with their characters. Bringing in some of the darkest characters I have seen in any fighting game. Really looking forward to giving Freddy a go....
I can honestly say that I never even imagined seeing Kratos vs. Freddy Krueger in a video game. I don't know what to say. Wow. Why stop there? Now we need Jason, Hannibal Lector, and maybe even Alien and Predator.
Don't give them any ideas! ;)
