There have been several rumored characters who may be added to Mortal Kombat 11, but with rumors and leaks often unreliable, there’s one good reason that the rumors may be squashed or confirmed this month.
Fans have been waiting for a new Kombat Pack since the last one released, and with many hints coming from MK director Ed Boon on who may be added to Mortal Kombat 11, October will likely be the month for fans to see whether their predictions were correct.
In August 2020, Twitter user “thetiny,” who is known as a reliable source for upcoming Mortal Kombat content, leaked information which indicated that 19 DLC characters would be coming to the game’s roster of fighters. The leak itself didn’t indicate who these fighters would be, with the file names not indicated the character’s names but just listing them by number.
However, Raiden VA Richard Epcar revealed in a Mortal Kombat Instagram Q&A that Bruce Campbell will be voicing one Mortal Kombat character, and that Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series would be an available fighter. Rambo was also included in the Mortal Kombat leaks, but chances are, the entire thing wouldn’t be horror-based, just most of it. Michael Myers from the Halloween movie series and Batman‘s Harley Quinn have also been included in the leaks, however, which lends more credence to the idea of an October release.
Not only that, but Ed Boon has been teasing fans that Mileena, a fan-favorite character from previous games, could be added to the latest installment soon. Mileena first appeared in Mortal Kombat 2 as a twisted clone of Kitani created in Shang Tsung’s flesh pits, while in the Evil Dead series, Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams fights Deadites, creatures who have been turned into monsters by an ancient demon. Between Mileena, Ash from Evil Dead, and the other horror-themed characters, the new characters could be a very terrifying bunch.
This makes it likely that the DLC will be revealed some time this October to take advantage of the Halloween season as a marketing move. It is unlikely that both Boon and Epcar would hint so heavily at these two characters being just around the corner if the studio was going to release a 19 new DLC characters and not include them, after all. With these two’s remarks standing out, it is likely that the Mortal Kombat DLC will be marketed and released as a horror-themed Halloween-esque package.
If the DLC is not released in October, however, this could make it more likely that the characters are being held for a future installment of the series which can launch on its own steam instead of taking advantage of the holiday to draw fans back to Mortal Kombat 11. Ultimately, October will likely indicate the future of the DLC characters one way or another, though with Ed Boon’s penchant for trolling fans about upcoming DLC characters it’s also possible that Mortal Kombat‘s Mileena will not be included in the same package as Ash, which could dilute the add-on’s potential as a horror-themed DLC.
Mortal Kombat 11 has also released a new horror skin pack for different characters in the build up to Halloween. The All Hallow’s Eve pack includes new skins for a wolf-man Johnny Cage and a creepy nurse version of D’Vorah, so it’s also possible that developer NetherRealm won’t release two Halloween-themed DLCs in one month. However, the upcoming holiday does make confirmation on the new characters one way or another seem more likely.
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
