Along with the impressive roster of the base game, Mortal Kombat 11 players have already received two nifty DLC fighters to beat each other’s brains with. Shang Tsung is a crafty sorcerer who can morph into different colorful ninjas while Nightwolf is a proud indigenous warrior who can call about friendly animal spirits. Both of these characters also hail from klassic Mortal Kombat games.
However, what’s all the rage in fighting games these days is releasing wacky guest characters too as part of your season past. Horror movie icons like Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have showed up in past Mortal Kombat titles. And this new trailer for the full Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack shows us which killers to expect next.
The rumors were true. The Terminator and The Joker are both coming to Mortal Kombat 11. The Terminator is based on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rugged bearded appearance in the upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate. Beating away his bloody flesh just reveals more of the sinister machine underneath.
The Joker just looks like any number of gritty Jokers the team at NetherRealm has already created for various Injustice games. And since the character already has an R-rated feature film releasing later this year, we get why WB would let this be the DC character to appear in the M-rated fighting game. They already had to censor one of his moves in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Beyond these two guest characters we got good first looks at previously announced fighters: hellish comic book character Spawn and evil Mortal Kombat Queen Sindel. We also got a release timeline. The Terminator comes in October, Sindel in November, Joker in January, and Spawn in March. However, fans hoping that Ash Williams from Evil Dead would make an appearance as rumored were disappointed. They should really put these dancers in the game though.
Mortal Kombat 11 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. For more, read our guide to every kharacter featured in the game as well as our full review.
