Bearers of the Kombat Pack are set to receive their second treat this week, with the Edenian traitor Tanya all but ready to join the Mortal Kombat X roster this coming Tuesday.
Sporting a vastly different skin tone and overall look from her initial appearance in the game’s Story Mode, she will be available for general purchase a week later starting June 9 for US$4.99.
Like Kitana and Rain, Tanya is an Edenian, a native of a realm konquered by Shao Kahn and merged with Outworld millennia ago. The Edenians have been fighting for independence ever since. Though she’s a skilled kombatant, Tanya prefers more subtle means of achieving her goals. Most recently she and Rain have allied with the ousted former Outworld empress, Mileena. Tanya and Rain will help Mileena regain her throne in exchange for the creation of a new Edenia. What will become of Tanya’s relationship with Mileena thereafter, none can say…
Tanya becomes the second of four downloadable characters to join the fray following the release of horror icon Jason Voorhees in early May, with Predator and Tremor set to follow in the coming weeks.
