HHW Gaming: Mileena Takes A Bite Out The Competition In ‘Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate’ Gameplay Trailer
Source: WB Games / NetherRealm Studios Finally, we get to see Mileena in action, and her trailer doesn’t disappoint at all. Since Mortal Komat 11’s initial launch in March 2019, fans have been screaming at Ed Boon to bring back Mileena. Boon waited for the perfect moment to bring back the product of Shang Tsung’s diabolical cloning experiments, which is the arrival of next-gen consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

As expected, Mileena’s fatal combination of speed, acrobatic prowess, and raw savagery complemented by her signature sai and sharp claws are on full display. Mileena’s sign...
