Here's the official blurb:

"The 10,000-year-old princess of Edenia grew up believing she was Shao Kahn's biological daughter and served as one of his deadliest warriors. When Kitana learned the truth, she fought against Shao Kahn's attempted conquest of Earthrealm, eventually dying in battle. After being resurrected as an evil revenant version of her former self, Kitana now rules the Netherrealm alongside revenant Liu Kang, dedicated to the destruction of all the realms."

Unfortunately Kitana's confirmation comes without any gameplay (a gameplay reveal is expected later this week). To tide us over, here's Kitana in Mortal Kombat 2.
