Dataminers Unearth Clues to Exciting Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Characters
Dataminers have delved deep into the code of Mortal Kombat 1, unveiling intriguing hints about the future roster of DLC characters. The Mortal Kombat franchise has a history of expanding its character lineup through post-launch DLC, often featuring iconic figures from various media sources. Mortal Kombat 10, for example, introduced famous movie slashers like Jason Voorhees and Leatherface, while Mortal Kombat 11 brought in 80s and 90s action heroes such as the T-800 Terminator and John Rambo.
This trend is set to continue in Mortal Kombat 1, as NetherRealm Studios officially confirmed the game's first DLC wave in July. Kombat Pack 1 will reintroduce beloved Mortal Kombat characters like Takeda, Quan-Chi and Ermac, alongside guest characters including DC's Peacemaker, Homelander from The Boys and Omni-Man from Invincible. A leaked rumor suggests a second Kombat Pack, Kombat Pack 2, featuring Noob Saibot, Kano, Sareena, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke and the Doomslayer from Doom.
Now, an eagle-eyed dataminer known as "thethiny" has further expanded the list of potential DLC characters. In a recent Twitter post, they claimed to have discovered audio from the game's intro cutscenes hinting at Noob Saibot, Cyrax in his robot form, Cassie Cage, Kung Jin, Kotal Khan, Jade (a character frequently requested by fans) and an unnamed female character. Excitingly, the leak also includes guest characters like Ghostface Killer from the Scream films, Conan the Barbarian and even He-Man.
Additional dataminers have corroborated thethiny's findings, with some hinting at the possibility of Robert Patrick's shape-shifting T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day making an appearance. These data sleuths have also uncovered hints about special Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities associated with seasons, including Halloween.
It's important to note that these revelations remain unverified, and thethiny is still compiling evidence for future disclosure. As such, it's advisable to approach unconfirmed rumors regarding Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters with a degree of skepticism until NetherRealm Studios provides official confirmation. Nevertheless, some of these rumored characters, like Conan the Barbarian and Jade, have been hinted at previously, while others, like Ghostface, align with the franchise's history of guest fighters. The Mortal Kombat community eagerly awaits further announcements as the game's full release draws closer.
