Mortal Kombat 1 – Season of Storms is Live, Features a Familiar Threat

Dark Raiden from Mortal Kombat X is the antagonist of this season, available until June 4th alongside new cosmetics and gear.

Remember Mortal Kombat 1’s fourth season of Invasions? Regardless, Season 5 or the Season of Storms, is live and features a more distinct antagonist. It’s Dark Raiden, a corrupted and decidedly more aggressive version of the Thunder God seeking to destroy threats to Earthrealm. Check out the trailer below.

Alongside a new boss fight against Dark Raiden, players can also unlock new gear and outfits for characters like Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Liu Kang, General Shao, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Rain and Raiden. There are other new encounters and mini-games to conquer, with Season of Storms available until June 4th.
