Mortal Kombat 11 gets its competitive update today, along with the first DLC character Shang Tsung and his fatalities, which are making us physically recoil.
MK11 fatalities are no picnic at the best of times, but the Shang Tsung fatalities are some of the most gruesome work the NetherRealm team have put together so far.
You can see the brutalities and both of Shang Tsung's fatalities below. The second one, in particular, is some absurdly creative use of Tsung's shapeshifting abilities, pulling in some help from four-armed beast Goro for the finish.
Be very warned, none of Shang Tsung's fatalities are safe for work or young eyeballs:
If you're wondering how to pull off that arm-pulling monstrosity, Shang Tsung's second fatality input is Back, Forward, Back, Circle/B on controllers.
Are these some of the most brutal in the game, or do you think there are more painful ways to die than Shang Tsung's fatalities?
