In January, NetherRealm Studios held an event showcasing the gameplay of Mortal Kombat 11 for the very first time. During this, it was revealed a special Kombat Kast would take place on 30th January, sharing more information about the characters and content coming to the game.
Unfortunately, due to wild weather and the safety of the development team, the Kombat Kast live stream was rescheduled for 5th February. To keep fans entertained in between now and then, the Mortal Kombat 11 Twitter account has revealed Kano will be returning to the roster in the latest entry:
Kano first appeared in the original Mortal Kombat and is the token Australian fighter. He's particularly skilled with a knife. Other characters such as Kabal have also been teased and if you pre-order any version of MK11, you'll receive Shao Kahn as a bonus character. We're sure we'll get more character reveals on 5th February.
Is this a character you were expecting to see return to the latest Mortal Kombat outing? Tell us below.

What?? He was missing in previous entries? Now I know I haven't played any MK for a long time...
He seems to be looking alot like his movie counterpart. Not a huge fan of Kano but still waiting on Noob Saibot
@mazzel He was playable in MK7 (Armageddon), MK8 (not-Armageddon), MK9 (after Armageddon), and MKX (many years from Armageddon). The only games he's missing was MKII, MK4, and MK Deception.
@retro_player_22 Then this shouldn't be a surprise announcement for the rooster, right? The news make it sound like he was absent the last entries
Every MK1 character deserves to stay in the rooster, unless the story makes her/him die, in which case they can bring them back as another version anyway
My favorite Mortal Kombat fighter lol.
Great news, one of my favorites. Now we just need Reptile officially confirmed.
Shouldn't the article's tagline say, "that's not a knife, this is a knife"?
@Elvie That's not what they meant, that's what they meant. It doesn't make sense but it makes sense.
Hoping Nitara returns to Kombat.
Congratulations on actually getting the movie quote right.
@KryptoniteKrunch Reptile was confirmed about 2 weeks ago.
Hahaha Shao Khan is a pre-order bonus. One of the main characters and he's download and you have to preorder. Such rubbish. Maybe this time next year it'll have almost as many characters as mk9 komplete!
I see you’ve played knifey spooky before!
Love the Crocodile Dundee reference in the sub-heading.

Why is the VB missing from his left hand?
He was seen before in the menu graphics, and in the background of a stage. At least he's now official.
I think, apart from the official reveals, Rain, Noob Saibot, Johnny Cage, Cassie Cage, Kronika, Reptile, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, and Kabal have been discovered. Shinnok was seen in a cutscene, but it's unsure if he'll be playable. Shang Tsung is rumoured.
@KryptoniteKrunch I thought Reptile was already confirmed?
Nice. Looking forward to MK11.
Hype as hell Kano is my boy! Cannonball time
I’m waiting to see some Shang stun and some kintaro up in here
I'll get this game day 1, hopefully alongside Shao Kahn! Mortal Tuesday is not close enough!
If I recall correctly, originally Kano wasn’t mentioned to be Australian, but in the movie it was played by an Australian actor who did such a good job that they kept his nationality as canon. Just a little bit of trivia.
I can already hear Sonya gritting her teeth...
@mazzel He wasn't
@nab1 true that, love that bit
