Mortal Kombat 1 development chief Ed Boon is up to his old tricks again, teasing fans about potential upcoming DLC characters.Boon tweeted an image showing a number of famous horror villains, including Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Leatherface, all of whom have green ticks because they have appeared as a guest character in Mortal Kombat in the past.It’s the villains who have a green question mark plonked on top who we’re most interested in, however. Michael Myers, Pinhead, Chucky, Jigsaw, and Ghostface are all teased here by Boon, and the Mortal Kombat community is responding as you’d expect.🐉🤔 pic.twitter.com/nCtuSz4VSY— Ed Boon (@noobde) September 28, 2023 Earlier this month, dataminers dug into Mortal Kombat 1 and found evidence pointing to potential unannounced DLC characters. While NetherRealm has already announced the characters set to appear in Kombat Pack 1 (check out IGN’s Mortal Kombat 1 character guide for more), based on unearthed voice lines Kombat Pack 2 may include Jade, Cassie Cage, Kung Jin, Noob Saibot, Cyrax, and Ghostface from the Scream films. There’s even a suggestion the T-1000 from Terminator and Conan the Barbarian will appear in Mortal Kombat 1 at some point. Boon’s image shows Ghostface with a question mark, which tallies with the datamine.Mortal Kombat 1 Shang Tsung ‘Alien’ FatalityNetherRealm and publisher Warner Bros. Games did not respond to IGN’s request for comment on the datamines. Boon is known for trolling fans on social media, so this latest effort may have everything to do with upcoming DLC characters or nothing at all.This week, IGN reported on a ridiculous 89-Hit Mortal Kombat 1 combo that lasts almost a minute. NetherRealm is also working on a fix for a bug that gives Player 1 an advantage. Meanwhile, Boon has promised updates for Mortal Kombat 1’s awful Nintendo Switch version.Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
