Mortal Kombat Characters Are Getting Drunk For St Patrick’s Day

Today, Bo Rai Cho isn’t the only drunken master in Earthrealm. Everybody in Mortal Kombat X will be throwing back green beers and feeling a little bit luckier for St Patrick’s Day.

Mortal Kombat Characters Are Getting Drunk For St Patrick’s Day

The new Watch Out Leprechauns premier tower went up earlier this week, bundling together eight matches where players will have to contend with modifiers thematically tied to St Patrick’s Day. The modifiers are basically re-skins of features already in the game, but instead of Kabal’s blade randomly slicing back and forth on the bottom of the screen, it’s marching leprechauns.

You can see me run through some of the Watch Out Leprechauns fights in the videos posted here. There’s green beer that slows Kombatants down, beams of luck-granting light that refill Super meters and a drunk confusion modifier that changes up the functions for button inputs.

It’s all mostly fun and games until that last brawl in the tower, which throws multiple modifiers at you all at once. The experience is like a fight to the death after way too many beer-and-a-shot specials, but it ends with a little reward for making it to the end of the rainbow.
