Mortal Kombat X fans might be delighted to know that developer NetherRealm Studios is letting them try out the game's new characters at no cost this weekend.

NetherRealm recently introduced its Kombat Pack 2 DLC both for Xbox One and PS4, incorporating the new characters into the fighting game. The standalone pack is pegged at $20.

How To Play The Characters For Free

To play Bo'Rai Cho, Leatherface, Triborg or Alien, gamers need to make sure that their Mortal Kombat X game has been updated with the latest patch so they can gain access to the new DLC characters.

Gamers can then head to the Living Towers menu. From there, they will see that the Premium Tower is set to "Who's Next" mode. Gamers will then be able to play through the different DLC characters as they take part in fights.

This offering is seen as a good way to let gamers make an informed purchase.

In related news, the developer also lately launched the complete edition of the game, Mortal Kombat XL, on Xbox One and PS4. This bundles all the DLCs of the fighting game together. This also comes packed with new character skins.
