Unless a potential KP2 isnt 6 characters. If its 4 then that matches everything he said; "25 to start," 3 to unlock, 6 in KP1 and 4 in KP2 "ending with 30 something." Specifically 38.

Wait a minute -- you're quietly twiddling your thumbs watching everyone go crazy.... WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!!

*pulls a gun*

Or they're not marketing ahead to KP2 until KP1 makes the rounds. Or he's not too quick with the math and still thought it'd be thirty-something. Or saying a number more specific than "thirty-something" would give too much away... especially if the number was 40.

Can we add a new character into that as well? More specifically someone as a nod to the MK Conquest TV series that was centered around Great Kung-Lao?

I've been wanting to see Vorpax cross over to the games for a long time. That would be a sweet nod.

WB Own the Conquest show and now they own MK as a whole haha It's perfect.

I like Sheeva, I really do. But I think she would be a huge waste of a DLC spot unless NRS truly make her a fucking work of Art with brilliant gameplay and fatalities...but even then I'd rather they save all that hardwork for MK12 or a future game for her to appear in.

Sheeva does not need to be in MK11 in my book.

As long as we're dreaming, why not? Haha.

It sounds like her race has a lot in common with the Kytinn, so if they included Vorpax they might decide to retcon her to be a freaky bug lady....

The name still fits though, and it would be super entertaining to see a D'vorah-looking thing still manage to be an effective seductress. Maybe she exudes sexy pheromones or something.

Hey, I've been barking up the 'make a prequel game' for years now. Better time than ever now especially since time travel is involved.

The Switch version went live and there were 13 pieces of DLC also listed. 1 is Shao Kahn since he is a pre-order bonus. 6 for the KP1 and that would leave 6 for KP2.

The Kombat pack comes with more than just characters. I believe it's been listed as containing 7 skins & 7 sets of gear as well (I assume the gear sets match the skins. I'm using Soviet Skarlet as a basis for that theory, as she appeared to have a new mask & gear matching her skin in the images we've seen)

Assuming they're available for individual purchase and Kahn ISN'T included in that tally, 7 + 6 = 13

But we don't necessarily know that the skins/gear will be available for individual purchase, so who knows what the actual tally is.

All I'm saying is, I doubt they're accounting for Kombat Pack 2 this early, and those 13 pieces of DLC VERY likely account for more than just characters. Skins. Gear. "Unlock the Whole Krypt", Easy Fatalities. I'm sure there's an ample amount of stupid DLC most of us don't care about too. MKX had plenty.

We probably won't hear anything legit on Kombat Pack 2 until like October.

Unless they'll shock us and announce they'll do three Kombat Packs this time around.

The code for the DLC says bundle in each and in the past every character had a skin set as well. So the customer would have the choice of buying the character alone, the skin pack alone or the character and skin in one DLC. That would amount to 3 different sets not 2.

Yeah, I'm not pretending I know what the breakdown is, I'm just saying it seems extremely unlikely that those 13 pieces of DLC have anything to do with Kombat Pack 2, as your last post suggested. You said 1 for Kahn, 6 for KP1 & 6 for KP2, as if the 13 characters corresponded to the 13 pieces of DLC.

They probably don't even extend to the end of Kombat Pack 1. They're probably just 13 pieces of random wave 1 DLC... For instance...

Shao Kahn
Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung + Skin Bundle
Skin Bundle Alone
Easy Fatalities
Character 2
Skin Bundle 2 Alone
Character 2 + Skin Bundle 2
Easy Fatalities
Unlock the Krypt
Kombat Pack 1 in and of itself (keep in mind this too, is a piece of DLC)
Soviet Skarlet (Whether we get her in other countries or not, she'd have to be ready Day 1 for those who do get her)
Brazil Kano (See previous)

And voila, we're at 13 already. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that's my actual guess as to what these 13 pieces of DLC are, I'm sure I didn't hit the nail on the head, I'm just throwing out random examples.

It's likely the preloaded DLC on Nintendo is just the stuff they have ready or close to ready NOW, I doubt it has anything at all to do with Kombat Pack 2, and it's likely not even the full extent of Kombat Pack 1.

Related but unrelated:

I notice Shao Kahn is already available for individual (separate) purchase in the Switch store for $5.99... so there's your price if you don't get a free one. Presumably available day 1, based on the fact you can already buy him.

Stop with the super unlockable crap people! It's just as annoying as the 500 fake leaks we had. Its 24 plus Kahn and 6 DLC. That is confirmed 100% so far with a possible KP2 with lets say 6 people, that is 37 kharacters. That is "30 something" Boon mentioned. We know Shang isnt a super unlockable so that still leaves the roster to 39 with the fake leak added. It's more than likely that shinnok and mileena are DLC than anything but I would love to be suprised.... (we would know day 1 by miners anyway) and they would of showed up in the trophy list as you have to complete a game at 100% to get a plat in any game (minus DLC later down the road). Dont bet on Shinnok and mileena as playable or you will be very let down.

Boom.

That's all she wrote.

This isn't 2004, people still believing in this super unlockable and super secret hidden character stuff are DELUSIONAL and quite franklycruel to keep getting people's hopes up.

RE: Super unlockables

...But what if...

:-)

I mean.....sure but them not being achievements or trophies means nothing other than they arent as stupid to include them if theyre secret. Tons of games dont spoil secrets in trophies. All that means is they learned their lesson not to be so dumb, lmao.

Also, no one is saying unlockables are for sure in. All I am saying is given the leaks very good accuracy that it looks likely. For all we know, maybe the leak was from info based on the middle of last year and those 3 didnt get done in time so theyve been pushed or cancelled outright. (Shinnok as DLC lmao Yeah right, talk about waste of space) But they say there are unlockables on top of everything else that was proven true so I am optimistic.

Even if there are not any, we still have an amazing looking game on the way (with an okay roster) and tons of DLC fighters to look forward to.

Then these guys will look really really stupid.

I think people are just in denial that a certain character didn't make the roster and are trying to find ways that they might still make it. But you're right; they're setting themselves, and others, up for disappointment.

I'm all for having fun and speculating things, but there are times when we've just gotta sit back and wait for more info, rather than trying to pick apart every little thing and make wild thoeries that Ed's tone of voice when talking about Animal Crossing is a sign that there is a secret unlockable character who is the love-child of Rain and Mileena.

For me the evidence in favor of more characters has as much to do with the select screen leak on the official site as it does the info leak. Those 28-29 spots signal that either:

I'm not making a call as to which possibility is definitely right. But KenshiMaster has already outlined pretty clearly why the first one has a chance.

We've also learned that the Day 1 patch is going to be almost three times the size of the data on disc. That's a lot of content not on the base release. That could mean a lot of things... possibly that there is content they don't want getting out early, if people get a hold of the disc ahead of time.

I'm not keeping my hopes too far up, but I don't see a lot of reason to keep the hope too far down either. Unless you're the type who's really sensitive about the roster, I guess.

Theres also this pic that backs it up;

That's photoshopped.

Is that your opinion or a fact, cause its been floating around for several weeks. Supposedly its a training thing for GameStop employees, not from the legit website.

Fact. It's been proven false.

Thats good to know. Lol Guess thats what happens when your work week is 50 hours lmao Im out of the loop on stuff.
