Mortal Kombat 1's DLC Roster Might Have Already Been Leaked

Jean Claude Van Damme too

The only character I recognize in that list is Ermac!

That's good, but... NL staff, why there was no news about Arc System Works' 35th Anniversary? That's an important event in fighting games community, you know? Oh, yeah – almost nobody cares about fighting games on this site...

"Jean-Claude Van Damme will apparently be a skin for Johnny Cage, too."

Mortal Kombat X Street Fighter confirmed.

Quan Chi, Ermac and Takeda are great. But I really don't like guest characters in general. They take up the spots that could be used by MK characters

Home lander and omni man? Oh my god sign me up! These are perfect fits!

Scorpion, Sub-zero character design. What went wrong ?

It’s no surprise that this new mk is mostly a commercial to sell max subscriptions.

I actually am not a fan of fighters, gore, or have much knowledge of any of these guest characters but mortal Kombat always manages to catch my interest. It’s such a fun game to play and the story is always fun to watch. I may actually try this at some point, and having guest super heroes again gives me some hope for injustice one day, I prefer it.

@Vyacheslav333 Did Arc do anything special on the Switch for their 35th?

Unless I'm reading into this wrong - Pretty annoying that they have the paid dlc all revved up way before the game drops.

With Capcom I really assume they release a game > get feedback and then go to the grind putting out the additional characters because they care about their flagship game - the game that made them.

If you had only one choice between the two it would be a given to go with Street Fighter.

@MrLinkTathapast No. But, they made a survey, at least.

@Vyacheslav333 That’s probably why nothing was reported.

OK, Homelander and Omni-Man, would be pretty awesome.

Homelander and Peacemaker would be must buys lol

@Crockin, the only guest character from a MAX show is Peacemaker (and they've been including DC characters in the last couple games already. At least I know they had the Joker in one of them anyhow).

Homelander & Omni-Man are from Prime shows (& non DC comics before that, so I don't think Warner really has a stake in them).

@Vyacheslav333 I mean it’s a niche genre that doesn’t get great switch support, kinda expected

Already preordered the Premium edition for Bonus.

JCVD skin for Cage would be cool as hell and a nice way to bring that full circle. I dig Ermac and Quan Chi.

Omniman kinda destroys the game, seeing as how he's practically (no pun intended) invincible.

Literally no clue who any of those guest characters are. We can't just get Freddy Krueger back?

I hate the fact that Shang Tsung is a "bonus fighter" when he is integral to the story. Similar to Shao Khan being "bonus" when he played a role in Mortal Kombat 11. This practice needs to be removed.

Also, Green Ranger Shredder and He-Man/Skeletor DLC please.

@Crockin there are no subscriptions offered, so not sure what you mean. . DLC packs unfortunately is common for all fighting games.

@Cashews I’m sure Capcom already has a DLC roadmap laid out. That’s how it works, they may adjust due to feedback
(For example, that’s how MK11 got Mileena), but for the most part they all have it planned

@Casco mk is owned by Warner bros., which is part of Max. They released that mk movie a few yrs ago. And a character from a max show is in the game. It’s cross promotion. Expect more WB characters in this thing

I don’t think Homelander or Omni-man have anything to do with Max. They’ve had guest characters since 9. Yes, most of them from other WB properties as those are easier to get the rights for, but not all of them.

They are well received by fans as well…(although I personally would prefer they to add more characters from the actual MK universe instead of so many guests)

@Casco agreed. But I bet they continue to perfect it rather than just rip it out of the base package and sell it on the first day. Then rip out other characters and sell it as a pre-order bonus.

@Pigeon I believe you are correct. Towards the end of SF4's run is when the moniker 'Crapcom' started to gain steam. I believe the dlc practices of SF4 was a big reason for their hiccups.

It was for me - I didn't buy a Capcom game for at least a decade and all I used to do was play SF4. We will see how they treat 6. So far the game is mostly positive buzz and Capcom is riding a industry high imo. I don't think anyone could successfully argue Capcom wasn't Japan's 2nd biggest publisher now. Sony kinda but they don't really put out big hits for a while.

Omni-Man, JCVD, AND Homelander....and of course, Mileena. Sounds too goo to be true, but then we got Robocop, The Terminator and Rambo for the last one, so maybe it will happen.

I'm quite excited for this game, though I may wait for the inevitable "Komplete/Ultimate" version that comes out roughly two years after.
