What happened to the days when studly dudes would settle their disputes honorably? Over Europe way in the Middle Ages, nerdly knights had a thing called chivalry. This meant, sure, wreck each others' shit if you must, but do it respectfully. Have a gentlemanly joust, and invite the loser over to your castle for cocktails and a game of croquet on the lawn if both of his legs are still on.

Sadly, the guys and gals of Mortal Kombat will have none of that. It's much more fun to brandish an enemy's still-beating heart, squeeze it and drink the resulting blood, like the mad, mad bastard you are.

Yep, here's another slice of the upcoming Mortal Kombat X's fatalities. This lil' showcase features Scorpion, Kotal Kahn and Quan Chi. Spoiler: they're all assholes.

We'd already seen Quan Chi's charming new hypnotise-them-into-walking-eyeball-first-into-the-blade-of-your-sword move, but that's just the tip of the uber-violent stabtacular iceberg. The franchise seems desperate to top even the last game's gore, with faces being sliced right freaking off and the squelchy brain-meat beneath revealed in extreme close-up.

Throw in a few of those spangly new X-ray attacks, and you've got yourself a show.
