Dear Reader:
Mortal Kombat 11 will feature new characters, but focuses on returning characters to make fans happy
Mortal Kombat 11 is going to have some new characters, but series co-creator Ed Boon has made it clear that the focus this time around is more on bringing back fan favorites. Here's what he had to say in a Game Informer interview.
I think Mortal Kombat X probably introduced more brand-new characters. The D’Vorahs, and Ferra & Torrs, Cassie Cage and Jackie, probably more than Mortal Kombat 11. I think Mortal Kombat 11 will introduce some new characters, but we have 80 characters or something, there’s always this passion to seeing your favorite character returning, Skarlet or Baraka. Baraka’s a big one. People were pissed when Baraka wasn’t in MKX. So I think if we had like a needle, it’d lean a little bit more towards servicing those players who want to see their favorite return.
