You can even enter team fights, where five members of your faction fight five simultaneous fights against another faction, and the team with the most wins gets the points.Īt the end of every week, the faction with the most points overall will get a reward, which can even include a special, faction-specific Fatality. Your faction will modify the menus' visual themes, and everything you do in the game will earn points for your faction. Assuming you're online, when you first start Mortal Kombat X you'll be asked to choose one out of five factions associated with groups in the game's fiction: White Lotus, Brotherhood of Shadow, Black Dragon, Special Forces, or Lin Kuei.
It also sounds like the best rewards will come from Mortal Kombat X's greater, cross-platform multiplayer Faction War mode. NetherRealm is still a little vague about what exactly you'll be able to spend these points on, but cosmetic changes to characters is one example. These aren't merely fun, almost puzzle-like elements to introduce to a fighting game-they’re also a great way to force and teach a lone player to discover each fighter's movelist.
The conditions I saw were focused on winning rounds while using certain moves. Each level in the tower has some kind of environmental twist-I saw one where bombs were falling from the sky, another where I had to dodge roving laser traps-and an extra condition that will earn you more points.
