Mortal Kombat X Announces Jason Voorhees as Playable

Fitting reveal since it's Friday the 13th, right?

We know Mortal Kombat X will have four DLC characters (the "Kombat Pack" also includes skins) and the first extra combatant has now been revealed. Many were hoping it would be Spawn or Predator, but a quick video shows us it's the machete-wielding murderer Jason Voorhees. We've yet to see him in action and it's just a quick video of him emerging from the darkness, just like they did with Goro (who's playable if you pre-order!). We're sure the violent fellow will fit right in.

Well, the reveal makes sense since Freddy Krueger was DLC in Mortal Kombat, so I guess this really shouldn't be a huge surprise. Now we just have to wait for a video that shows off this guy's moves. An X-ray attack with a machete? Yeah, that's going to be brutal. Are you disappointed by the reveal or are you looking forward to playing as the iconic killer?
