We are really about to have an MK game without a proper sorcerer (Shang Tsung, Ermac, Quan Chi).
BUT OH BOY, THANK GOD WE HAVE TWO SUB-ZEROES.
I think you meant in the main rosterWhile it's not likely since Netherealm usually don't have guest charcters as DLC
TER could be Terminator
No Noob or Rain would suck big time but Frost would definitely make up for it. That being said, there's some characters not listed here who I just don't see missing out. Like Shang Tsung for example. I know Steam databases don't lie but I can't help but feel like there's more to this than meets the eye.
Yeah i meant the main roster, mind you Kratos wasn't DLC in MK9 so it's possible just not likely. Having 4 Newcomers instead of 5 may make more sense
Not all of the Steam achievements are listed on there yet; Shang could still very well be in.
Oh god, no Reptile, no Smoke, No Shang Tsung, No Ermac and 5 MKX characters back. :(Interesting! So this is our potential roster:
I'm glad we're getting a few other new characters after all.
- Scorpion
- Raiden
- Sub-Zero
- Baraka
- Sonya
- Skarlet
- Geras
- Kano
- Kabal
- D'Vorah
- Liu Kang
- Kung Lao
- Kitana
- Cassie Cage
- Rain
- Noob Saibot
- Johnny Cage
- Erron Black
- Jade
- Frost
- Kotal Kahn
- Jacqui
- "Kol"
- "Cet"
- "Ter"
- Shao Kahn

Terminator would be cool, and would make for some unique fatalities (to him, I mean, due to his unique innards).While it's not likely since Netherealm usually don't have guest charcters as DLC
TER could be Terminator
Well there's about 22 characters listed there and Geras, Johnny and Kitana are missing so that would equal 25
I only count twenty.

Variations aka bothI think you're right. Terminator was one of the poll options way back.
I think he's in.
The question is, if Terminator is in, what does his design look like? Is he just a late 80' Arnold? Or is it the actual machine without the skin suit?
Maybe you can have variations of both?
I would say they can have a variation where his eye and skin is torn up like the movie but that would be too much like Kano I think
+ Johnny,Geras,Kitana and Shao KahnI only count twenty.

For all we know, Johnny might not be in i mean it's very likely but possible
Okay guys, stay with me here.
One of the characters is TER.
Boon stated in an interview during the reveal event that they have a big surprise in store for us regarding whos face theyre using for one of the characters. The rumor around this so far has been the actor from the MK movie returning as Shang Tsung.
They wanted Terminator in MKX.

What if it it isn't Shang Tsung, but Terminator using Arny's face?
I don't want to alarm ya'll but TER is probably Nimbus Terrafaux
The lack of Mileena is making me nervous. C'mon Boon, put her in.Interesting! So this is our potential roster:
I'm glad we're getting a few other new characters after all.
- Scorpion
- Raiden
- Sub-Zero

- Shao Kahn
At the same time Kratos wasn't DLC in MK9 so it's possible he could be in the base game
For all we know, Johnny might not be in i mean it's very likely but possible
Im gonna wait and drink tea.
I would be fine with the roster and names are just names for me.
Even a character like Jacqui could become pretty awesome with a overhaul so im gonna wait and see.
Im glad they dont totally abandon MKX characters because whats the point of them if you dont bring any back.
Noob has been hinted at in leaks and kinda (maybe) by Boon. Rain is rumoured but I don't think anybody knows.I was fine with Ermac and Reptile missing 11 because I was so sure Noob, Rain and/or Smoke would make it instead, but now there's a chance we might not get any of them. Fuck I'm so bummed out right now.
I would be on board with an expanded Krypt experience. Their story mode is already best in the genre anyway, so a Krypt with actual gameplay would probably be awesome. Wouldn't mind if they had a Konquest mode as well or instead of the expanded Krypt.Well it's not just old games really. Look up the remakes that were being worked on. Brand new actors being redigitized so the visuals were gonna be completely revamped. I would be fine if it were just UMK3 in this vein lol.
It is a tale from my ass and personal opinion but what I think we are getting:
A Krypt that actually plays like a first person RPG
Why? Well for one NRS had a job posting up a few years ago looking for people with experience in that field. It would be a good way of continuing and expanding upon MKX's Krypt experience and it would make going to the Krypt a more fun experience. Plus, that trophy set that leaked mentioned walking 5 miles in the Krypt so it must be HUGE.
Some of it most definitely did. Their family is front and centre in the story mode. Jacqui's is not. I don't think this is even up for debate.
The Kitana/Jade one is definitely better, but I think Cassie is on track to fulfill the same role in Mortal Kombat as Jin does in Tekken. Memorable new generation character, with a set of high profile parents (Cassie even more so than Jin). They're both examples of great "new generation" kids in their respective series, who not only tie in more heavily with the plot but are also good on their own. Jacqui is more like Lars in the sense that while not a bad character, they pale in comparison to the aforementioned ones, with very shallow ties to their fathers lore wise.
Both Lars and Kitana have memorable character design though. Jacqui looks pretty generic in comparison. Again, I don't dislike her and I'm all for improving her character if she returns. Just saying my opinion on how she comes off in MKX.
She has some memorable moves from her parents, along with those fatalities, which is at least one step above having generic kicks, punches and grabs. We've also seen Sonya being changed a lot, and as others have speculated it wouldn't be too surprising if Cassie ends up inheriting some of her mother's older moves as a result.
Out of the kombat kids, Kung Jin is the only one to offer something more unique (probably because he has no parent or teacher to inherit tweaked moves from).
But still, I think the balance of Cassie's moves from her parents is good. It reminds me of Jin in Tekken 3 (which eventually evolved into Devil Jin as Jin adopted Karate from Tekken 4 onwards). Like I said, I can see Cassie going in a similar direction. Things have been set up very nicely for her to keep growing, and that can sadly not be said about either Jacqui or Takeda. Of course, they could totally mess up and have Cassie go absolutely nowhere from here, but right now it makes more sense to have her be the most prominent out of the four kids.
What about a konquest mode made with upgraded HD assets from the old games? Know what I mean, like the old games with the digitized pictures upped to HD and then in a side scrolling Subzero Mythologies type game - except not crap.I don't think a single player mode to blow people's minds would be just the old games. I'm hoping it's something closer to what Konquest was.
Interesting! So this is our potential roster:

Who do you think is the most likely guest DLC Charcter at this point?

I thought that hiring position was more recent for an upcoming game? When did you see that posted?Well it's not just old games really. Look up the remakes that were being worked on.

DLC to the rescue.How do you know one of the new characters isn't a sorcerer?
And I'm glad Frost is back. I thought there was a solid possibility cause Sub Zero is missing the ice clone in his moveset.
Excited to see her redesign and how different she'll be from Sub .
I'm sad there's no Ermac and seemingly Reptile. Also at least one Cyborg would've been nice. At least Triborg
This sounds cool.One of the achievements:

WHAT??
