MORTAL KOMABT 11
WHO WOULD WE LIKE TO SEE IN KOMBAT PACK 2?
Hi MK Fans,
This weekend has been massive for Mortal Kombat fans and players with the Final Kombat championships and the reveal of Spawn into Mortal Kombat 11.
Spawn is the last character to be revealed as part of the current kombat pack, rumour have been speculating around a kombat pack 2 and characters that gamers and fans would like to see in said kombat pack should it get officially announced.
If Mortal Kombat 11 continues to trend of DLC character releases like it has done for kombat pack 1, kombat pack 2 should be released sometime in 2020.
As it stands, Kombat Pack 2 is practically one big question mark, as next to nothing is known about it. One area where many fans may wish Mortal Kombat 11 to change up its approach is with its DLC, as the far-and-away release dates are less than ideal. However, that specific approach sets up a pattern by which fans of the franchise could potentially wait and see Kombat Pack 2 revealed.
Before moving forward, it's worth mentioning that Mortal Kombat 11's current lineup of DLC fighters consists of 6 in total: 3 guest fighters and 3 returning characters. It was four months after launch before fans of the franchise knew the identity of all 6 fighters, with only 2 having been released up until their reveal in August. This was also followed by a wave of negativity for their release dates, as many saw them as less than ideal, meaning it's not something NetherRealm will likely want to repeat.
Shang Tsung released in June, Nightwolf released in August (prior to the aforementioned reveal), Terminator released in October, Sindel in November, with Joker releasing at the end of January and Spawn in March. With the exception of Sindel's follow-up to Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11, these characters are all notably, if roughly, on a pattern of every other month.
It seems safe to assume that Kombat Pack 2 will follow a similar pattern, although unforeseen circumstances or development beats could admittedly make this later than expect, but one thing to consider is how many were frustrated that the first Kombat Pack itself did not receive a full reveal until after two characters had been released. Therefore, even if Kombat Pack 2 starts much later than anticipated, it seems safe to say a reveal will come before the first character.
After Spawn closes out the first Kombat Pack in March, the next logical addition would be in May unless there was a delay between packs. Even then, it shouldn't be for that long, and it's possible this schedule could sync up, with the first Kombat Pack 2 character launching in June like Shang Tsung for the first Kombat Pack. Of course, that's impossible to say for sure, but players can reasonably expect Kombat Pack 2 to close out 2020 to some degree.
Without repeating the mistakes of the past, players will want to know the identities of these characters as early in 2020 as possible. Rumors indicate Sheeva, Fujin, Stryker, and Ash Williams as potential characters so far, but until Mortal Kombat 11 does officially confirm this, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
That being said and just for fun, I'd like to reveal my personal suggestions for characters I would like to released in kombat pack 2.Overall, I would like to see more characters from the MK11 Franchise rather than guest characters, although I like seeing guest characters, I think they can also detract from the actual MK franchise it's like putting MK characters into Injustice games, two franchises colliding and devouring attention from one another.
I've chosen four MK characters and two guest characters.
These are:
MILEENA
By popular demand, fans are begging Ed Boon and Netherealm studios to put Mileena into the game. I would like to see her make an appearance in MK11, I think her fighting techniques are really slick and she can certainly do a considerable amount of damage with her combos and special moves.
TAKEDA
A question that I ask myself is where is Takeda and Kung Jin in the MK11 story and where do they fit into the timeline? Kenshi was missing too, what happened to him? But this is what makes DLC so good, it allows characters that weren't included in the main roster to be given a wild card and an opportunity to appear in the game as DLC.
Takeda is mentioned in various intro dialogues and we see him at the end of some characters character stories at the end of character towers challenge. It feel the game is missing a trick by not including Takeda as I think his speed and verity of fighting techniques make him an ideal character to include in the roster.
I always enjoyed playing him in MKX, and just feel like he's missing from the roster and needs to be included. If I was presented with a choice between Takeda and Kung Jin, I would choose Takeda.
TREMOR
I am being deprived of one of my favourite characters from MKX being in MK11. I miss Tremor, and I wish he were in MK11, if only to complete a Black Dragon group of him, Kano, and Kabal. And I have come across some concept art of Tremor online and on social media. possible hint that Tremor is in Kombat Pack 2? I would love it to be true.
SHEEVA
The more female characters in the game, the better. I feel that with MK and Injustice games there are much more choice in male characters than female ones. There isn't an equal balance of the sexes, with male characters dominating most of the roster. Sheeva would be a valuable and welcome addition for me if she was to be added. As a Shokan, she has four arms and I'd imagine she'd have a similar fighting to Goro, if that's the case she could do an incredible amount of damage.
Now we move on to my two guest characters.
THANOS
This is most likely DEFINITELY NOT going to happen due to the fact that Netherrealm does cross overs with DC characters and probably the rights Disney would charge to use Thanos in the game would be too expensive. But, you must admit that all being said and considered would Thanos be a good character to be in Mortal Kombat 11? I think he would. He has a good fighting ability and would probably come with some nice accessaries. Coming from such a big movie franchise like MARVEL would raise the stakes higher and possibly introduce more new players to the game. It's an idea.
NEGAN From The Walking Dead
I've asked for this character to be in MKX and now I'm asking for him to be released in MK11, he would be so good to include right? And I think the custom variations to his bat and costume would look insane. Would be interested to see how creative they could get with his fighting technique, fatalities and brutalities.
Those are just my suggestions, if you don't like them feel free to say so, if you agree me, feel free to say so. All will be revealed when Kombat Pack 2 gets revealed in full I'm sure.
