PS Vita-exclusive features for Mortal Kombat detailed

Mortal Kombat fans have been provided with the first details of some of the exclusive new features that will be included in the forthcoming PlayStation Vita edition.

NetherRealm Studios creative director and series creator Ed Boon told the official PlayStation Blog that the PS Vita version of Mortal Kombat will retain all of the content seen in the PlayStation 3 edition, including its downloadable characters.

New to the handheld version will be an additional Challenge Tower with 150 exclusive challenges, including stages that specifically take advantage of PS Vita's unique hardware.

For example, in some levels players can tilt their PS Vita to affect gravity, while throughout the game they will be able to execute gruesome Fatality moves using swipes on the touchscreen.

Mr Boon confirmed that the new game will include a full online multiplayer mode and will run at the same speed as its home console brethren.

Mortal Kombat hits PlayStation Vita this year, with a Komplete Edition version of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions also coming soon.
