Mortal Kombat X Predator Early Release? Xbox One Owners Reportedly Can Install New Character [VIDEO]

The latest character in Mortal Kombat X was not supposed to be released till July -- that’s according to the Boon man himself. However, Predator has been released early for Xbox One owners according to some leaked gameplay footage.

The Predator Mortal Kombat X early release leak stems from Xbox One owners being able to install the add-on for Mortal Kombat X if they manage their downloads.

Some Xbox One owners have claimed that doing so unlocks the Predator DLC, which includes the character and some new skins. And while some Xbox One players can only download the alternate skins, others claim that they can actually download Predator early.

There are also some people who downloaded Predator and then when they closed the game and rebooted the new DLC character was blacked out again. Perhaps NetherRealm Studios caught on to the Predator leak and put a quick patch to stop the download.

But those that did get to play a little with the new Mortal Kombat X character got to take some Xbox One footage of Predator’s gameplay.

According to those people, Predator’s three variations are Hunter which has a flying trap that can stun, hangs opponents upside down or detonate. The captured Predator gameplay of this variation can be found here.

The second variation is Warrior, which allows for a self-detonate attack that launches the opponent at the cost of some health. The gameplay footage can be seen here.

The final variation is Hish-Qu-Ten, which gives Predator plasma shots.  That gameplay footage can be seen here.

You can even see one of Predator’s fatalities, which has the beast lift up the opponent and cut his head in half using one of his futuristic blades. Check out the video below.

The official release date for Predator has not been announced except it will be in July. Kombat Pack owners will be able to download Predator first, with the character being sold separately a week later.
