Mortal Kombat’s Rivers Run Skarlet

Mortal Kombat’s Rivers Run Skarlet

None

First revealed in a teaser video released before E3, Skarlet is the newest planned entrant to the Mortal Kombat tournament. She joins the game’s colorful cast of bloodied and battered combatants with a hemo-centric fighting style.

In a game in which the blood flows freely and the bones break brutally, Skarlet still manages to stand out as a character composed entirely of the former. Her attacks are based on launching blood across the screen, propelling herself upon jets thereof to bodily take down her foes, and generally making it difficult to tell whose blood she—and her opponent—are covered in.



As with all characters present in the newest Mortal Kombat game, Skarlet has a history with the franchise, originally a coding glitch of Kitana in Mortal Kombat II. Her first official entry into the series will come on June 21, when the Skarlet DLC is made available for $5 (400 MS Points).
