Mortal Kombat 1 roster leak hints at characters we haven’t seen in years

Mortal Kombat 1’s roster has allegedly leaked online, teasing the return of characters who haven’t been seen in years.

Thus far, 12 kombatants sit on the list of confirmedMortal Kombat 1fighters. Said list includes all of the following: Jax, Johnny Cage, Kano, Kenshi, Kitana, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Mileena, Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Shang Tsung – the latter being a preorder bonus.

Presumably, the full roster will boast about two dozen characters in total, with DLC additions rounding out the selection at a later date.

Which other characters may enter the fray presently remains a mystery. However, a leak seems to have pulled the rug out from under whatever future reveal NetherRealm and WB had planned.

Interestingly, the leak leaves out confirmed characters Kano and Jax, while hinting that beloved mainstays like Reptile, Smoke, and Sindel will resurface.

The likes of Havik, Reiko, Nitara, Li Mei, Ashrah will seemingly return, too. Each of these five, along with Kenshi, joined the franchise during the 3D-era of games that started with Deadly Alliance. Apart from cameo and comic book appearances, none have been seen since the Armageddon days.
