Legacy Costumes is just how they call every costume that came out of before the KP2 announcement. Notice it's not a pack, but a title for the following list of costumes. The Apocalypse Pack is alone by itself.

Here is a detailed image of how to get the KP2 content and the XL update.

Also there is a description of "Legacy" pack which was not shown in the trailer.

Note: It does not say that any version of the game includes Gold Scorpion, in case anyone was wondering.

Any news of if we will need to upgrade to XL for the improved netcode?

Nope, which is good since it means that it will be available to all. If it worries people so much you could ask them on their official channels.

Considering they are still advertising to existing owners of MKX and the MKX + KP1 I think it will come to everyone. The improved netcode is mostly client side.

The KP2 is $20. Polygon is wrong and is a shitty web-site anyway so no surprises there then.

Okay, so I keep seeing the theory that the next MK game is coming in 2019.

Why?

Did I miss something? Did NRS say "There will definitely, absolutely be no less 4 years between MK games"? Just because there was 4 years between MK9 to MKX doesn't mean that MK games will only release every four years. It's obvious their next project is Injustice 2, which one could logically assume has been in development since the end of 2014 (they have different teams in charge of MKX and Injustice). But in relation to MK, MK9 came out at the END of the previous gen's lifecycle.

In 2 years, that generation was obsolete. They did their last game of the previous generation with Injustice, with a slightly updated version for PS4/XB1 since both consoles released that same year. PS4/Bone aren't going anywhere anytime soon. PS3/360 was one of the longest generations of gaming since the 16-bit era...almost a full decade. PS4/Bone are still babies, and NRS already has a solid foundation on which to build the next game. It won't be as difficult to utilize that framework to finally upgrade to Unreal Engine 4. It's not going to take that long to develop the next MK game.


I anticipate we'll get an Injustice 2 reveal/announcement within the next 60 days with an April 2017 release date, OR late 2016. They aren't going to send off MKX without an acknowledgement of their next project. Expect an announcement around the time of MKXL's release ;)

I would think that, in relation to Injustice likely being released late this year or early next year, the earliest we would get an MKXI announcement would be early-to-mid 2017, with an April 2018 release date. OR, hell...they could be developing MKXI right now, who knows? I don't expect a long time between games, not anymore. They've proven their chops on current gen, so we'll be seeing the next MK before 4 years. It's way too popular to just let it fester. MK9/MKX, for all that you bitch about it, has brought this series out of the depths frickin' cesspool only to find it in shining gold. It's finally hit the popularity and respect it deserves, rather than be a laughing stock among fighter audiences like it's been since 1998. With the series on such a high, they will not be sitting on their hands.

I'd like to know if gold scorpion skin is included.
The skin itself sucks big time, but I am a completist, you know, I broke my back to obtain Revenant Kitana and Hotshot Johnny Cage.

It's not like Capcom and Double Helix are against guests either.

SF Vs Tekken included 5 guests. Of course, Megaman and Pac-Man were Capcom and Namco characters respectively but Cole McGrath, Kuro and Toro were playstation characters.

A freaking Battletoad made the Killer Instinct roster, and his bio states he's "the first guest" implying more could be coming.

Guests are part of the fighting game landscape now and NRS belongs to a big time company that will definitely put profit before anything else. The best selling DLC of MK9 and MKX are the guests and they will sell more copies to people unaware of the MKX DLC if they see Goro and the guests on the cover rather than Tanya, Tremor and Bo' Rai Cho.

It's business. The kind of business we're not used to from NRS but business nonetheless.

Because Cassie and Jaquie are THE WORST new fighters as well as Kung Jin and Takeda and they just try to make them kooler in the eyes of the fans. Those characters are so uninspired and stupid and shitty. Now NRS konfirmed they think that way too.

Well if anything this has taught me next go around for MK11 I'm not buying a single bit of DLC until around the one year mark so I can get everything they put out for incredibly cheap. So, NRS, thanks I guess? lol

Even if it seems like they are choosing to ignore us, NRS clearly know of the huge fan demand for Fujin. Tyler & co. do read TYM and the official forums, and probably here and TRMK as well.

I think further DLC is unlikely given that we now have a komplete edition, but it is *possible* (and I am NOT saying this is likely) that Fujin will be released for free as they wrap the game up in the near future. They brought in voice actors and motion capture guys to make the last four DLC characters, so it's not out of the question that they will have made a final character (separate from KP2) at the same time. I doubt it would have cost them much more on top, as they were already booking studio time and voice artists, etc. anyway.

By releasing a free character in a patch, they are circumventing the DLC issue, and so it wouldn't affect the content of the MKXL game.

Fingers crossed, and this is our last hope.
