Katana confirmed for Mortal Kombat 11, next Kombat Kast to reveal more on her, D'vorah, and a third mystery character

For those who watched the official Mortal Kombat 11 commercial earlier today, you already know that Kitana has been revealed as one of the returning characters. Her return was expected, but it's nice to have confirmation. NetherRealm also shared a blurb on Kitana to detail her role in the new game.

“The 10,000-year-old princess of Edenia grew up believing she was Shao Kahn’s biological daughter and served as one of his deadliest warriors. When Kitana learned the truth, she fought against Shao Kahn’s attempted conquest of Earthrealm, eventually dying in battle. After being resurrected as an evil revenant version of her former self, Kitana now rules the Netherrealm alongside revenant Liu Kang, dedicated to the destruction of all the realms.”

Kitana will be showcased on this week's Kombat Kast, which will reveal first gameplay for the character. Along with Kitana, we'll also get a much deeper look at D'vorah. We have some backstory info to share on her as well.

"One among many Kytinn, a swarm of sentient insects who share a hive mind. D'vorah has served Shao Kahn, Kotal Kahn, and Shinnok, but her true allegiance is to the swarm. She lies, cheats, and backstabs so that when everyone else has died, the Kytinn hive will survive."

Finally, there's one other character who will be a part of this week's Kombat Kast. That character is being kept a secret for now. We'll have to hang tight until Wednesday to see who ends up getting some time in the spotlight.
