If you're not satisfied with online play in Mortal Kombat X, you'll be happy to know that NetherRealm Studios is on the case.

A revamped online experience is in the works at the studio, which will begin accepting signups for an upcoming beta on January 19.

"Starting on January 19, we will begin signups for a closed public beta for the new and improved online play," says NetherRealm's community specialist Tyler Lansdown.

"With the online beta release of Mortal Kombat X, we are attempting to move away from the dynamic input latency model towards a model that preserves the feel of an offline game more accurately while playing online and maintains a consistent input response."

At the beginning of the beta, there will be only four playable characters - Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jacqui Briggs and Johnny Cage - with more planned throughout the duration of the beta.

The latest gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat X was unveiled earlier this week, and it shows Leatherface duking it out with Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees. Watch it below:
