Sonya Blade is being voiced by WWE star Ronda Rousey.

We are then introduced to a sinister new female character, Kronika, who appears to have the ability to manipulate time.

EX Meter appears to be split between Offensive and Defensive abilities, and the Super Moves are now known as "Fatal Blows," still activated by mashing the shoulder buttons. One interesting addition was a "perfect block" mechanic, where defending at the very last second affords the opportunity to counter-attack.

Character customisation, similar to Injustice 2, is also a thing, allowing for all manner of costumes and looks for your favourite fighter. Of concern were "Augmentation Slots" - shown but not mentioned - which reads to me like potential microtransaction/loot box garbage. But we'll find out soon enough.
