Release dates for the 4K UHD Blu-ray and digital versions of the upcoming third episode in the series starring the blind warrior Kenshi Takahashi are October 9 and October 11, respectively. In Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, a young and arrogant warrior called Kenshi challenges the ruthless and ambitious Kano, who has made it his goal to subjugate all of Earthrealm.
Without bending the knee to the would-be conqueror, Kenshi loses his sight.
