The rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero is one of the most iconic of all video games. The details of their enmity tend to evolve each time the franchise revisits its history, but it always revolves around the Scorpion specter that haunts Sub-Zero to avenge not only his own death, but that of his entire family and clan. As the poster’s dual nature shows, the yellow-clad Scorpion wields fiery demonic powers and wields a spear, while the blue-clad Sub-Zero harnesses the ice to make deadly daggers and freeze his enemies.
This new poster comes after Mortal Kombat released several character moving posters anticipating the release of the first trailer today Thursday. Check back on IGN after the trailer is out for an exclusive breakdown of all the new footage commented on by Mortal Kombat film director Simon McQuoid.
