When questioned about future DLC plans for MKXL, mainly regarding skins for DLC characters his response was "should we do more?"

And he also responded to several other questions about future DLC and supporting MKX through DLC releases.

He COULD just be blowing smoke, but it's curious that he's responding to all of these questions about future MK DLC as a possibility

Yeah I read those too.
But a KP 3 is not that unlikely actually. The game got a boost from the new netcode.
They had no females in KP2. So Frost And/Or Li Mei is likely.

And of course Sheeva will be in. I hope so.


Lets just prepare ourselves for another disappointing guestlist :/

don't be so quick to buy into the hype cause i'm pretty sure hes full of shit. the last kombat pack was a MESS. they really lowered my expectations (when they were already low to begin with). The only DLC we should ever expect is Michael Myers and the likes.

the fact that they chose Bo Rai Cho and Tremor shows their really poor judgement in their MK choices as well.

Maybe they should spend more time fixing the PC version they fucked up instead of getting everyone's hopes up.

I 100% agree.

Fix PC and stop playing games. Boon is just talking to start a spark around KP2.

They ignored females in the last pack because they don't sell and aren't as popular as the males.

Frost would be most likely since NRS knows the casuals are always stuck in the "OH MAH GERD NINJAS SO KOOL" mindset. Just being a female subzero is her appeal.

Li Mei is generally unknown among casuals just like Tanya. Characters like these should NEVER be DLC. They should on the main starting roster so the new generation of MK fans can get familiar with them, basically being re-introduced to these new fans. If she became DLC, only hardcore fans would DL her while the guest characters will get hounded by the casuals.

Sheeva? don't count on it. They give no fucks about redeeming unpopular characters or to give them a second chance (even though they screwed her over royally last game). I don't see them taking any risks like that.

I respectfully disagree. Different strokes I suppose.

fixed.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but at the same time, I don't think KP3 near the end of summer would be that far fetched. A nice send off for MKX leading into the hype train for next years NRS game.

Characters are just not going to happen unless KP2 sells like crazy. And then still, outside of Fujin who is just not interesting enough for NRS & WB, who are we really missing. Rain, Fujin & Baraka are the biggest ones still missing but all three are not going to happen so I'd say MKX era is over. Hope for something better next time.

They mentionned fan service kontent coming in the last Kast as well...I would love more kontent personally, I love MKX. Even if it's not characters. The DLC characters need some alternates.

how is it over when Tyler said there is more content coming after the march 1 update/xl launch

don't just assume things till Ed himself says MKXL IS DONE LEAVE ME ALONE. yeah i'm sure they are working on another game like Injustice 2, but until Ed himself says something about it being over officially. i'm sure they can squeeze a few more skins and more stage fatatlities or something

NRS didn't work on the PC version so stop blaming them for it being shit blame the company who brought it out, Ed clearly only talked about the next gen being Xbox One and PS4

so you want to be pissed at someone be pissed at the guys who brought out the pc.

At least one new character is coming, but I'd bet there will be a KP3 (hopefully without guests but guests might be the biggest reason to make a KP3),

Injustice and MK can easily be worked on simultaneously, especially if WB feels there is money to be had. They just totally revamped the netcode. That was a big tell already that they'd be putting out more DLC, and now these two hints. Literally the only reason they'd do that from a business standpoint is to keep a market for the game's future content.

If there is to be additional DLC characters I mainly hope for Sareena.
It's the perfect opportunity to do justice to and revamp an old character that deserves more recognition like what they did with Bo' Rai Cho.

The possibilities of a Demon Form Sareena variation are mouth watering :)

I don't hold high hopes for a KP3 but if they do I'll be stoked. Havik in this game would be so fucking sick. Not sure how well he would sell though.

80% expect more costumes.

20% expect one more character. They could easily alter the character select screen to mirror the arena select and place the random select in between two selection choices in the middle.

I thought I remember them hinting that the random select would eventually be made into a character slot.

I'd be ok with the random select becoming like the DLC slot in MK9, where scrolling over it became a drop down into the story mode characters.

DarkKard4 there is nothing wrong with Bo or Tremor weather tou personally lue them or not they are MK characters and pretty fun. The guest are who shoulfnt be here but it is what it is. If note dl. Is kharacters and not just skins myers or another horror is possible but so is more mk. Id personally vote for

Fujin
Sereena
Frost
Li Mi and Nitara.

We need more females

At this point I don't know what to expect from NRS. I honestly wasn't even expecting a KP2 let alone for it to have 2 guest characters. At of now I'd just be happy with some fan service costumes, like a Deception pack or something.

Well, I don't think any of us are deluded enough to EXPECT anything. But they just revamped the net code on a game that's been out for nearly a year. It'd seem somewhat strange to me that'd they'd spend so much time, money and manpower if it were just to try and lure people back for one final cash grab in KP2.

I mean, if this was it, they could've just released the final four characters and some skins and been done with it. Redoing the net code to such an extent tells me that it's at least possible that they envision a longer shelf life for the game, and I could very easily see that longer shelf life including four more characters and one more background.

I'll call my shot:

What seems most likely: Goro's Lair, Kabal, Frost, Michael Myers and Pinhead.

What I'd like to see: House of Pekara, Fujin, Sareena, Kabal and Noob.

Outside shot: The Portal, Baraka, Sindel, Rain and The Terminator.

WB doesn't own Pinhead so that's definitely out. Not even sure if they own Michael Myers.

I could see them maybe doing Freddy again if they were to do another guest.

Realistically if they do release anything else, I'm not expecting anything other than skins.

HOWEVER I'd be pleasantly surprised if they gave us even 2 more characters, honestly. Fujin and Sareena preferably. I'd also happily take Havik, Kabal, Noob, Hotaru, Li Mei, Baraka, Rain, or Sindel though.

Yeah, you're right about Pinhead and Myers, but while Freddy, Jason and Leatherface are WH, doesn't 20th Century Fox own both Alien and Predator franchises? If NRS can get those, couldn't they conceivably get others that aren't WB properties as well?

I suppose the chances decrease if we're talking about a third KP. Plus Alien vs Predator was kind of a special dream match kind of a thing.

We might be near the end of horror characters as DLC though. I mean, if they were to stick with WB properties, who'd they use now? Reagan from Thr Exorcist? David (Keifer Sutherland's character) from The Lost Boys?

I can't imagine either of those characters outselling an MK character, though I thought that about Leatherface and I'm sure he'll outsell Bo Rai Cho 2:1 lol.

I suppose another possibility is Spawn, Todd gave them permission. Can't remember for hoe long. Maybe they're saving him for Injustice 2.

Everyone missing from mk9 plus
Sareena
Li mi
Havik
and is like to see another sub boss too either kintaro or the dragon king and if boon says story dlc is part of their future plans then you can add all these characters in a large expansion pack along with more stages, skin, and more classic fatalities and maybe another finishing move

WB doesnt own the rights to Myers but it matters little because the the rights are being shipped around right now. I wouldn't be surprised if WB/New Line bought them though.

Also, the new Leatherface movie isn't WB/New Line, I am pretty sure its being produced by Millennium Films and is being distributed by Lions Gate.

My only gripe with Myers is that he would probebly play too similar to Jason as they are both unstoppable serial killers who walk slow

Except Jason uses a Machete instead of a Knife
