After an extensive first look at NetherRealm Studios’ upcoming fighter, Mortal Kombat X, throughout the week of E3, MK fanatics were left wondering what characters, old or new, will make up the final roster for the tenth installment in the popular series.
In addition to Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Casey Cage, Kotal Kahn, D’Vorah and FerraTorr, it looks like we won’t be waiting that much longer for the next character reveal. After asking fans where would be a good place for the next reveal to take place, Creative director and co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise, Ed Boon, hinted to keep all eyes on EVO 2014.
On Twitter, Boon has once again begun another cryptic countdown which appears to conclude during the EVO tournament, starting on July 11. The studio did something similar with Injustice: Gods Among Us, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this were the case. Check out Boon’s tweets below, where you can make out the count down. What a sneaky guy.
