Among the characters available in the last
Boon reiterated this in an interview with Polygon, saying of the strong Krueger and Scorpion downloads, “It’s working out for us, and I’d be surprised if we ignored those numbers.”
As for who this guest could be, a DC Comics character isn’t likely–and not necessarily because of the reason you might assume (DC taking issue with such a violent game). “I’d be hard-pressed to have a DC character as a downloadable character in Mortal Kombat X,” Boon told Polygon. “The main reason is, I have no desire to cut Batman’s head off. I have no desire to kill Superman.”
Even when you rule out comic book characters, there are still countless possibilities for who might end up in Mortal Kombat X. Horror movie characters like Krueger make for a natural fit because of the level of violence they’ll be involved with–the improved visuals make Mortal Kombat X look especially brutal–but they aren’t the only candidates. Don’t forget, the PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat featured Kratos from the God of War series.
So far, we know who seven of Mortal Kombat X’s characters are, with Raiden being the latest name to be confirmed.
