The Cyber Initiative lives on.

Not sure why of all characters they'd want Frost to be the surprise.

Classic PS2 character that's been gone for a long while. One of the better ones...I guess.

Thing is, it's notvreally surprising because as soon as you load up the game and look at the character select, all you have to do is select the secret character slot and you will see Frost. Hardly a secret.

The idea of NRS wanting to keep Frost a secret until release is silly, even ignoring the select screen leak.

If the roster hadn't been leaked via the select screen capture, and if the street date had not been broken, it's possible that folks would still be speculating who the hooded figure from the story trailer is.

As of this point, the only un-revealed character is Frost, and it seems NRS *really* wanted her to be a surprise.


It's tradition since MK9 for there to be a Sub Zero spin-off as a secret fighter.

You know, you're kind of right. I don't believe Cyber Sub-Zero was ever shown before MK9's launch, I remember him being leaked a few days before the game's release.

Frost was getting outed before launch regardless. Early copies being sold for high profile releases is a regular occurrence as are early achievement lists. It's almost impossible to realistically avoid that, for better or worse. There's no real way to keep that a surprise unless you keep something off-disc with no related achievements until a day-one patch. It's a bit naive to assume otherwise.

Speaking of this, GO1 (one of the top Japanese SFV and DBZF players) wants to get into MK11. He's just unsure if he'll even be able to buy it in Japan



SonicFox told him that he'll buy a copy and send it over. And it looks like he's going to be teaching GO1 how to play.

That's really cool.

What's up with Shao Kahn's armor? What's the story on its more ornate design?
They had to over-embellish someone in the Outworld's royal family since Kitana's outfit is more reasonable this time.

I really wish just one of the leaks would be some Switch gameplay. I'd like to not have to pay an extra $6 for Shao Kahn, but I want to be able to make an informed decision.

The leaks have been so disappointing I actually spent the entire night reading books like some kinda dog at this rate I'll just have to play the game to learn everything about it!

I hate it too I'm an online vs only kinda player, but you get gear from MP also. Plus you could set up your fighters AI stats and them do the work for you I guess.
Couldn't you send your AI out on missions or quests? I can't remember. Maybe that was only the mobile version of Injustice 2.

Oh I didn't know you could get gear as drops I thought they got rid of that. I guess I could do that my laptop is right next to my PS4 so I could just watch Netflix or something. I'll probably just buy Noobs ninja outfit and a cool mask and wait for the next PSN sale to pick up some movies.

Yeah Derek said that they will put goodies across all modes to entice players who prefer singleplayer to try mp and vice versa.

Nice I was just worried it would end up like Injustice 2 where I spent way more of my time afk grinding the multiverse than I would doing what I actually found fun playing online.

I hardly know anything about the game because when Injustice 2 came out I knew so much about it I felt like I'd already been playing it for awhile so I decided to go into MK11 blind and it's driving me nuts cause I wanna know everything lol.

Alright, picked up the game. It'll take a bit until I can fully dive in and unlock stuff. Characters start out with only one costume and a variation of that same costume. Frost is still locked and has to be unlocked in story mode and Shao Kahn can already be downloaded with a preorder bonus code. Here are a few pics of both characters:
