Mortal Kombat X’s Android release could take two more weeks

Android owners eager to play the Mortal Kombat X mobile game could have to wait up to two more weeks before getting their hands on it, according to series co-creator and game director Ed Boon.

Although Boon acknowledges that his two week release window is a "conservative estimate," he couldn't promise a specific date.

Already available on iOS devices, the Mortal Kombat X mobile game serves as a companion app to the console/PC game, which is set to release next week on April 14. The mobile game offers players 24 playable characters, including Sub-Zero, Sonay, Scorpion, and Kitana. Engaging in daily events, multiplayer battles, and team-based Faction Wars will actually unlock exclusives rewards for the console version of Mortal Kombat X. Rewards include "ultra rare characters" like Klassic Kitana and Injustice Scorpion. On the flip side, playing the console version of the game also unlocks rewards in the Mortal Kombat X mobile game.
