Supposed leak of MK11

quote:

Here�s an interesting note to file under the rumor mill for the moment. Righteoushall04 has made some interesting posts in the Mortal Kombat X subreddit recently, potentially revealing some roster, gameplay and release details about what will undoubtedly be NetherRealm Studio�s next big project following the conclusion of development on Injustice 2: Mortal Kombat 11.

Claiming to have received information from a credible source on Twitter with connections to NRS � who supposedly leaked the entire MKX roster on his personal website back in February 2015 � Righteoushall04 notes that MK11 is planned to have a roster of 30 characters, with 10 additional fighters planned to be DLC. This would make the game�s cast slightly larger than Injustice 2�s roster once it receives all three full Fighter Packs, continuing a company trend of increasing roster sizes with each new game. Of these 30 Kombatants, 17 will be returning from MKXL, 7 will be returning from previous games (with 6 of those being from the old 3D-era titles), and the final 6 will be new challengers.

He notes that the new game�s story will feature Raiden as the title�s main antagonist, who appeared to be slipping back into his Dark Raiden ways at the conclusion of MKX�s story by leaving the beheaded (yet still immortal) fallen Elder God Shinnok�s severed head at Kitana and Liu Kang�s doorstep, as the two established themselves as the new King and Queen of the NetherRealm. Gameplay will remain chapter-based, with players switching characters throughout, and will be longer than any of the four previous story campaigns that have come before it. It will also be borrowing plot elements from two of the series� 3D entries, 2004�s Deception and 2006�s Armageddon � which featured all characters introduced to the franchise at the point, and were the last games set within the original timeline before 2008�s Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe and 2011�s Mortal Kombat 9.

Characters who are only in the game as story mode NPCs, similar to Sindel, Baraka and Rain in MKXL, will also be returning, alongside Brutalities and the much-loved Variation System that defined the previous title. Any deceased characters from the previous games will not be returning to action (sorry Nightwolf, Sindel, Shinnok, Smoke, Kabal, Mileena, Shao Kahn, Kintaro, Motaro, Baraka or Stryker players. May we honor the times we�ve had with them.) He than mentions the 17 base roster characters he�s seen �lots of artwork and rendering for,� and they are as follows:

Kano
Li Mei
Noob Saibot
Bo Rai Cho
Johnny Cage
Shang Tsung
Jade
Daegon
Cassie Cage
Jacqui Briggs
Frost
Kenshi
Kotal Kahn
Jax
Onaga
Going off of Arcade/Klassic Tower endings and the events of the MKX prequel comic, it stands to reason that Sonya Blade, Erron Black, Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Takeda Takahashi, Liu Kang, Triborg, Tanya, Kung Lao, Kung Jin, Kitana, D�Vorah, Tremor, and Goro could all have shots at returning. Taven and Nitara will supposedly appear in the game as story NPCs or cameos.

The source also elaborated on two of the supposed newcomers he�s seen artwork for, Dominic and Salina. �Salina is a Dream Goddess that apparently has psychic powers and can create things out of thin air and use them as weapons. Dominic is Kano�s son and is part of the Red Dragon with Daegon. Supposedly, he hates his father.� For those that may need a refresher, it was revealed that Kano was training up a son in his ending, with torture being the chief method, giving sufficient fruit to this supposed family grudge.

Finally, the poster notes that Mortal Kombat 11 should release around Spring 2019, which lines up with the NRS tradition of making a new game every other year. It should be noted that this isn�t the first time we�ve seen a leak regarding the roster of an upcoming NRS game, as the entire launch cast of Injustice 2 was leaked earlier this year on 4Chan by an employee working on that title�s mobile game, during the company�s long silence following the reveals of Harley Quinn and Deadshot at last year�s Gamecom.

Unironically this. One of his variants could be summoning Cenobites. gently caress MK11, just make Terrordrome but legit.

I'm glad characters like Kotal Kahn and Cassie will return as they were fantastic additions but Li Mei and Daegon were boring as gently caress. A lot of the 3D-era characters loving suck. Noob and Shang Tsung though would be cool. This is all assuming this "leak" is even real.

the important thing to consider is that this may leave the insane people on twitter who tweet "PUT SAREENA IN THE GAME" in the doghouse yet again.

The fact that the two most popular characters are in a big "maybe" column makes me question how legit it is. That being said, it will be cool to see frost again after how they handlked the kombat kids.

All of this makes me super happy. I still love Injustice 2, and still play it almost every day, but bring on MKXI :homebrew:

I have like 30 epic gear for Joker despite never once using him. I think they do it on purpose.

Fighting wise, I'd imagine an update of dragon naginata Tanya mixed with mournful Kitana. Take that, stuff it into a scantily clad dark-skinned woman whose few clothes are green, and you've got Jade. And some glowy veins and evil dress sense as Jade's presumably a revenant at the moment, having gotten whacked by Sindel like half the cast in MK9.

If they're planning on taking off from Kitana's MKX arcade ending, then something else happened to Jade. It probably isn't an accident that Jade is the only character who died in that sequence who didn't end up as a revenant, or at least never shows up as one at any point in story mode.

exquisite tea: Apr 21, 2007; Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

With the SAG-AFTRA strike coming to a close, does that mean we could potentially see new voice lines from the original cast? IJ2 was one of the games hardest hit by the strike since it happened right as the DLC characters were rolling out.

Raiden's ending is out

This is the second ending where both Constantine and Zatanna show up, and they keep ignoring the comics since Deadman shows up as well despite Boston dying on year 3

Oh and tons of MK references during his intros with the rest of the cast.
