After speculation, a new trailer from NetherRealm Studios has revealed that Kano will in fact be a part of "Mortal Kombat X." The character is familiar to most longtime players due to him being a playable character since the inception of the series.
The clip includes an intro from series co-creator Ed Boon, who walks through Kano's three fighting styles and explains the cybernetic upgrades the character has gotten.
Watch the trailer below:
IGN reported last week that screenshots were leaked from a German magazine featuring the character. The website did mention that it wasn't able to verify the leaked images but they are worth taking a look at.
