An announcement out of Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment is linking yesterday's confirmation of more DLC characters to a surprise 2016 download release.

No information regarding specific characters or quantity has been confirmed, but the announcement promises more character skins and a new environment.

Ed Boon floated the possibility of klassic arena DLC in May. The Pit quickly became the focus of intense speculation: a July update providing coding evidence of its return [full story]. Boon finally began teasing the arena earlier this week, with a subsequent update further suggesting the original incarnation.

Mortal Kombat X completed its first Kombat Pack with the release of Tremor in July. It was a rushed finish, concluding the four character cycle with Predator also released in July.

Time for Mortal Kombat X Mobile to update their apps! NetherRealm Studios has teased a new raft of kards and challenges right around the corner - including a new gunslinger in town: Erron Black!

The popular new character Erron Black has been a hotly anticipated arrival for Mortal Kombat X, and will no doubt be a feature gold kard to unlock in the next MKX Mobile Challenge!

Teaser indicates fans should also be on the look out for a Kold War Skinned Motherland Sonya and Samurai Skin Ronin Kenshi!

The hints keep coming! Even as speculation ramps up for returning klassic arenas; Creative Director Ed Boon has dropped a teaser image for four new characters who'll be announced tomorrow!

The question since the earliest promotion has been: Who's Next? Four silhouettes seem to confirm a long requested second Kombat Pack, with the identities of each download character presumably to be revealed - or at least hinted at - tomorrow!

The guessing game for deliberately obscured characters has already brought forth a torrent of wild speculation, and wishful thinking. Top suspects range from a confidently identified Bo' Rai Cho on the right, to Smoke, Noob Saibot, Baraka, Sindel and combinations thereof, from left to middle.

Will Fujin finally blow a mighty wind as a playable character - or will the proverbial "Martian Manhunter" have a longer wait in an increasingly extended DLC cycle? Could the unkempt hair of Silhouette #2 give Rain fans a redesigned reprieve, or is snap speculation of the likes of Michael Meyers or Leatherface ripe for more horror guest characters?

With so many characters from story mode in the firing line, it's certainly easy to see why "encore" was on Ed's mind.

With the promise of official news sometime this week, we have a fresh batch of clues pointing squarely at the return of klassic arena The Pit in Mortal Kombat X!

Mortal Kombat master of ceremonies Ed Boon was back on Twitter, displaying his second image of an MK moon with the word "ENCORE". While the first moon suggested the original Pit (by way of a starry MK Trilogy night), the latest [pictured above] has the spires and purple hue of Mortal Kombat II or the revamped Mortal Kombat (2011) version.

Encore could refer to the fact this will be a faithful recreation of a klassic arena, but as its a second moon, it may also suggest The Pit in MKX will come with more than one appearance. Several Mortal Kombat X arenas have two slightly distinct versions, some signifying the invading corruption of Shinnok: The Dead Wood, Sky Temple, Jinsei Chamber.

With the klassic focus revisiting territory already covered in the last game, and a lot of memorable arenas created for that game, "encore" could also hint at the remastering of existing assets. The encore image appears to directly reference MK2011 artwork [read more].

Further cementing expectations for a throwback Pit are new textures uncovered by Mortal Kombat Online affiliate Murdoink! The moon is a given at this point, with silhouettes of Santa Claus and a witch directly calling back the original Mortal Kombat Pit!

Silhouettes could be seen floating past the moon in versions of Mortal Kombat alluding to opportunities to unlock the series' original hidden character: Reptile.

The new assets can't be presumed to suggest a hidden character will find his way into the new game. Once traditional secret characters have become a thing of the past for modern Mortal Kombats in lieu of DLC. It is, however, all but confirmation of The Pit's return!

Premier Towers have already assaulted players with a barrage of bizarre and date appropriate weapons. Sparklers and fireworks making for a memorable American Independence Day in July's Light Up The Sky tower.

Early in 2014, student film maker Anthony Pellino showed us the first images from his short college film: Mortal Kombat: The Chosen One. Three semesters on, the 12 minute short is complete and ready for viewing:

Mortal Kombat: The Chosen One eschews the classic mythology of the games in a similar fashion to low budget webseries Mortal Kombat: Legacy, repurposing the plot to tell a grungy urban martial arts story. Set seven years before the tournament, a suited Raiden recruits reluctant vagabond Kuai Liang to test his chosen mortal warrior - Liu Kang.

Series co-creator Ed Boon is promising "BIG" Mortal Kombat X news coming hot on the heels of the latest Kombat Kast! Boon tweeted a picture to tease the update - a heavenly image familiar to klassic fans. Look to la luna below:

Fans of the original Mortal Kombat will remember a very similar night sky above The Pit stage, where secret character Reptile famously instructed fans to "Look to La Luna" [read more].

The teaser image seems to support Mortal Kombat Online's reports from July, which connected update code to a speculated return for klassic kombat arena: The Pit. Boon first floated the prospect of klassic arenas as DLC back in May.

The teaser could also be interpreted as an image of space - where no one can hear you scream. Ed Boon's twitter account was briefly a hot spot for Alien discussion, reigniting speculation about guest DLC.

A major patch update is already rolling out to PlayStation 4 & Xbox One consoles. It promises sweeping updates to character move properties, a few new moves, and bug fixes. Compatibility patches have been used to usher in other major updates.
