According to Ed Boon, creative director at NetherRealm, they have introduced new mechanics with this game. Chief among them is an upgrade system for the characters. As you play, the game rewards you with loot drops that give character-specific gear for your roster. This gear can be used to “build and power up” your characters. You can customize how the characters look, fight, and develop across game modes.
No firm release date has been announced. Hopefully, more information will be forthcoming during E3.
