Baraka, for those that may not know, is as unpredictable as he is brutal. He was first introduced back in Mortal Kombat II as a warrior for Shao Kahn, though his return in Deception marked him has truly iconic. From seeing him in action in the video above, that viciousness that he’s known for is back and bigger than ever and we honestly can’t wait to get our hands on him once more!
