Mortal Kombat 11 has three spooky new skins, is about to get a Halloween event

It's the spooky month and every game's racing to get its Halloween content in front of our faces. For mortal Kombat 11 it's the Masquerade Skin Pack, a collection of three new looks for Jade, Liu Kang, and Kabal.

Jade's skin is the Wicked Witch, which makes her as green and witchy as you'd expect. Kabal's is called Psyko Killer and it gives him a mask and torn coat that makes him look like a cross between Jason and Bane. Liu Kang's Cavalera skin is inspired by the Day of the Dead and looks like he's ready to fight in the skeleton war.

Starting October 25 there's going to be a Halloween event as well, adding four boss fights with modifiers like flying witches, bats, black cats, falling pumpkins, and gravestones popping out of the ground. Participating in the event will let you earn brutalities, consumables, and other rewards.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
