One of the most gruesome movie villains ever created will take its rightful place among the new Mortal Kombat X characters. The developers just revealed that the Predator will be made available as a DLC in the new fighting franchise.

The trailer of the game featuring the Predator also showed that the beloved characters Tanya and Tremor will also appear in the game. The alien will be made available in the $30 Mortal Kombat X season pass along with Jason Voorhees.

It’s clear that the developers of the game, NetherRealm, will spend a lot of time making sure they balance the playing field for the alien. The trophy hunting, agile Predator will be able to resist extreme cold from Sub Zero, extreme heat from Kung Lao, the gunshots from Stryker and the radiation cast by Raiden. The superhuman strength of the alien will probably be on par with Jax’s abilities and the invisibility cloak that it’s able to use will rival Smoke’s skills.

If the alien begins to bleed green and luminous fluids, it’ll mean that your efforts to beat the character are on the right track. It’s entirely possible that the Predator will also have issues with breathing in the case that its respirator will be removed from its face.

About a week before the developers showed off the Predator as a playable character in Mortal Kombat X, they also revealed that Jason Voorhees will be resurrected from the dead in order to start wiping out some foes again.

While the Predator has its invisibility cloak and its spectrum spotting mask, Jason can go on a killing spree with the help of his trusty machete. The cast in Mortal Kombat is well-known for their imaginative ways of de-boning, disemboweling and dismembering their opponents.

Other characters that have been uncovered so far include Sub Zero, Kung Lao, Sonya Blade, Jackson Briggs, Goro, Scorpion, Reptile, Mileena, Raiden, Kitana, Kano and Johnny Cage.

Mortal Kombat X will be launched on April 14 for the PC, PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. There will also be versions of the game for the older Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that will eventually see the light of day sometime during the summer in 2015. Other playable characters that are rumored to make their appearance in the new Mortal Kombat X include Fujin, Rain, Kabal, Sindel, Erron Black, Smoke, Cyrax, Nightwolf and Stryker.

Below you will find a trailer that reveals the Predator, Tanya, Tremor and Jason Voorhees.
