Freddy Krueger is Slashing His Way Into Mortal Kombat

Four DLC fighters and a handful of costume packs were promised for Mortal Kombat 9 a few months back. Fast forward to now, we've gotten our costume packs and we've gotten three downloadable characters; Skarlet, Kenshi, and Rain. The fourth character has been kept under wraps, but his identity is no longer a secret.

The Nightmare Man himself, Freddy Krueger will be joining the Mortal Kombat kast. Yes, the horror film icon will be available to download August 9 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 for 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99). Krueger will be the final bit of DLC for Mortal Kobat, but he's a pretty high note to go out on. You can check out his reveal in the video below.
