TV Article New Mortal Kombat coming in 2015: Watch the gruesome trailer By C. Molly Smith C. Molly Smith C. Molly Smith is the former assistant editorial manager at Entertainment Weekly.

EW's editorial guidelines Published on June 2, 2014 10:39PM EDT Just when you thought the violence on last night’s Game of Thrones was rough, Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, confirmed that there will be a new installment of the popular fighting game. The new release, Mortal Kombat X, will be available in 2015. The announcement was made via Twitter at 6:01 a.m. today and has since been retweeted more than 2,000 times. Shortly thereafter, Boon also tweeted a link to the trailer, which features two lead characters, Scorpion and Sub-Zero, fighting to the death. The result? Almost two minutes of adrenaline-infused, hyper-masculine, fist punching, bone breaking, and blood-spewing action, all set to Wiz Khalifa’s “Can’t Be Stopped.” Ultimately, it is Sub-Zero who meets his demise after having a spear of sorts thrown through his eye and his head chopped off to be pinned up against a tree. Again, very Game of Thrones, leaving us to ask (warning, spoilers!): Why isn’t #offwiththeirheads trending yet?
