Mortal Kombat 11's release date is fast approaching, even with the confusion over what that date actually is in some areas, and the game's roster is slowly but surely starting to take shape. It seems that we may now know several more fighters set to be announced thanks to a potential leak. Consider this your spoiler warning.
The potential roster discovery comes from a list of Steam achievements which has been made available online. The list shows a collection of achievements which require the player to use certain characters, and each one has a three-letter string of characters at the end of its name. You can see it for yourself below.
Assuming that 'BAR' is for Baraka, 'DVO' is for D'Vorah and so on, it's pretty safe to assume that the three letters for each listing are the first three letters in other characters' names. The listing has been subject to discussion over at Resetera, with user bluexy sharing the following predictions:
Err - Erron Black
Kun - Kung Lao
Cas - Cassie Cage
Jad - Jade
Cet - ?
Fro - Frost
Kot - Kotal Kahn
Jac - Jacqui (Chance of Jackson "Jax")
Ter - ? Nimbus Terrafaux
Kol - ?
Of course, none of this is official, so make sure to wait to hear confirmation before believing any of this to be true, but we'd certainly be willing to place a bet on at least some of the characters mentioned above appearing. And no, Shaggy isn't listed.
Do you think this sounds about right? Any characters there that you would, or wouldn't have expected to appear in the game? Let us know in the comments.

So no Shaggy ? Awww
Seriously, good kast but kan't wait to see who will be the special DLS guests this time. Alien, Predator, Jason Vorhees and Leatherface were a blast in MKX.
@smashboy2000 I haven't played an MK game properly for some time but the one thing that did appeal about the latter incarnations was the introduction of other horror characters. Add in the ones you mentioned along with Freddy, Michael Myers and a few others and you're on your way to a horror SSB!
Perform 2 different fatalities as X...
and people think this passes for content XD
with nintendo lending out its ip's lately
the question is will there be a nintendo character for the switch version?
Actual leakers wish they managed to leak as much stuff as Achievements do.
And yet people still wonder why Nintendo isn't keen on implementing this utterly useless feature. There's a reason Smash Ultimate's achievement-equivalent, Challenges, features question marks in its Adventure Mode section.
@superguy123
Pretty much what @Lizuka said. The only fighter I could imagine seeing in MKXI would be Ridley. But I'd rather see a toned-down Scorpion in Smash instead, if only for the novelty of having him and Ryu in the same game, thus giving us the crossover Capcom never wanted to do.
I was thinking about grabbing this until they deconfirmed shaggy. Then again I wasn't gonna buy it in the first place.
As long as Scorpion and Sub Zero are there then I'm good
I am hoping Sheeva and Rain make it into the game. They have been my two favorite characters since Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
Terminator for guest?
@Lizuka
"Get over here, for I choose my own path!"
Looking good, hopefully our boy Fujin made it this time whether as part of the base lineup or as part of the DLC pack.
Where the hell is my SMOKE 😂
I thought Mileena was a given, now I'm starting to worry...
"Kol" could be "The Kollector", I heard someone on youtube a few days ago say he had roster details from some inside sources. Back then I thought it was fake, but if this is true, then he might actually know something.
@AlexSora89 If there was an MK character in Smash, that would also mean it'd be the first time you could officially play Ryu vs Scorpion (or whoever were to make it), which would blow my mind.
@nab1
I'd go for Sub-Zero. Ice is just a cool element and, let's face it, the Ice Climbers are more about the "climbers" part.
@AlexSora89 I agree. Sub-Zero is a better fit for a non-violent game.
@nab1
Fatalities could still be cool Final Smashes, though. Just take the blood and dismemberment out, and keep the spectacle.
Take Kabal for example. His Final Smash would be the mask removal, which would send the opponent's soul flying away based on his or her damage meter with 1.5x knockback and Brawl-like floaty physics. If the character survives the blow, he or she has a certain amount of time to return to the body, which at the beginning slumps on the ground, stamina mode-style; failing results in both soul and body disappearing with the same poof from stamina mode.
Or maybe, Scorpion could remove his mask as well and spit fire at close range. The flame would trap the opponent who would then get up to 50% damage and then be sent flying with an uppercut.
If executed correctly, the Smash announcer would say, "FATALITY!". So much potential on that front.
Boooo, no Mileena or Stryker or Johnny Cage! Well...at least I have ONE of my mains (Cassie). Time to learn some new characters, I guess! Lookin’ at Skarlet and Sonya.
Also...where’s Kronika? Maybe that’s “KOL”...?
@RevampedSpider whew, thanks for the reassurance! My other fears are that Johnny can just be “replaced” by having a variant for Cassie, and that Erron Black is basically a Outworld Stryker so there’s no need for Stryker himself. Mileena and and Reptile on the otherhand...very unique characters.
Fk mortal same as always characters kombat... give me soul caliber any day.. n please add link again
I said Erron Black! The guy with the gun.
If I counted correctly the image only has 19 characters which include the already confirmed characters but in the game there are 25 character slots so I’m sure we’ll be surprised with a couple more before release, here’s to hoping I’m not particularly fond of the “kid” characters like Cassie or Jax’s daughter
@shaneoh I can’t tell if you’re trolling, serious or just ignorant to the franchise. This is obviously just a snip of the achievement list. Mk never under delivers on the “K”ontent, especially as far as fighters go. With this iteration we are looking at a badass campaign story, online mp, local mp, arcade ladders/towers, unlockables and Cosmetic Customization. What more were you hoping for?
@Draxa
Settle down, it was a jab at achievements
@shaneoh I’m chillin, but I can agree with achievements I’m not a fan
Ter is the terminator
Cet is the centiobites for hellraiser
Wishfully thinking a good dlc would be hellraiser termaintor spawn jeeper creeper pennywise dejin from wishmaster Michael Myers lol that be awesome
@Haystacks12 At this point I really wonder why the big movie studios didn't hire Netherrealm Studios already in a common effort to make an "Horror movie icon gorefest" brawler?! It would so lend itself to it and could be a huge booster in popularity for all studios and characters involved.
Just imagine. 30+ Horror Icons (many of which we've seen already in past MK games) duking it out hardcore style!
