« Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees, Ultimate Horror Pack, Coming to Mortal Kombat X on May 5 for Kombat Pack Owners »

The first character in Mortal Kombat X's Kombat Pack will be arriving next month.

Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame will be the first playable character from the Kombat Pack on May 5. For $30, Kombat Pack users get a week in advance to try out the popular horror movie slasher. Jason will also be payable as a separate character on May 12 for an undetermined price and can be temporarily playable in a special Mortal Kombat X tower starting on May 5.

Jason is part of the overall Ultimate Horror Pack which includes additional themed costumes for Mileena (Vampiress), Reptile (Kraken) and Ermac (Pharaoh).

Jason is not the first playable horror movie antagonist to appear in the Mortal Kombat series. Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger premiered as a downloadable character in the 2011 edition of Mortal Kombat.
