Freddy Krueger, the infamous child murderer from the Nightmare on Elm Street films is about to take his first steps into the world of Mortal Kombat. In the films Krueger was burned to death by an angry mob of neighbors following his child murdering antics. Kreuger then stalks and kills teenagers in their dreams for their parents killing him.
He will feature in MK9 with his trademark knife glove, his familiar red and green striped top and top it off his famous tattered hat.
He comes with his own unique moveset, two completely unique fatalities and a brand new story mode ending for the arcade ladder mode. In the first fatality Krueger tells them to be quiet, sticks his knifes threw their back throws them away and then bursts up behind them in a cloud of flames as they get back to their feet, knifes go threw the back again and then you both sink back into the blood filled hole Freddy bursts out from and then the blood erupts. In the second of the new fatalities Freddy produces a massive furnace/boiler and throws his enemy inside.
Here’s the official trailer
