In support of Shao Kahn's recent battle in Gamespot, Ed Boon himself rallied the cause via his Twitter account, promising to confirm a character or give a new screenshot. Today, he posted a small portion of this said character.

The image shows the leg of what looks to be a female character, weaing a red boot and what appears to be a draping cloth with black markings. We can only guess at this character at this point. Initially, this leg seems to most closely match Sareena, a character introduced in Mortal Kombat: Mythologies: Sub-Zero, a game chronologically occurring prior to this game's storyline. A recent Shaun Himmerick interview hinted that rumored characters could become a reality in this game, leaving a possibility for a red version of Kitana and Mileena rumored in Mortal Kombat II going by the name of Skarlet (among other nicknames). Either of these characters would be our first taste of something that was not in the 2D games, so it is possible this could be a redesigned Mortal Kombat 3 character such as Sindel or perhaps an alternate costume of some sort for Mileena or Kitana.

As soon as more information is available, we will report on it. Thanks to Ed for uploading this interesting image!

Update #1: Unfortunately, Kahn has fallen. What this means for the identity of this character, we do not know. Whether you agree with Gamespot poll or not, we must be proud of ourselves, the MK community for getting this teaser as a result of our efforts. We will stay tuned to Ed's account and hope he decides to reward us for our efforts!
