Kano of the Black Dragon clan joins Mortal Kombat 11

Kano, a brutal Mortal Kombat character we first laid our eyes on in the first entry in the series, is joining the Mortal Kombat 11 roster. The fighter was announced during a livestream and confirmed on Twitter recently, meaning he will be available to play alongside ally Shao Khan when the game launches on April 23 this year.

The developer also showed a glimpse of a Brazil-only skin that sees Kano as a cangaçeiro bandit, which you can check out below.

We say that the game is coming out in April, but the keen eyes of the internet recently spotted that the Nintendo Switch version was listed on the official UK store as coming out in May, so perhaps we'll see the Nintendo carnage start a few weeks later than the rest of the party.

If you want a deeper look at Mortal Kombat 11 we've got a few gameplay clips to share below the pictures, so take a look at those to get ready for the action.

Will Kano be your fighter of choice?
