Mortal Kombat 1 Upcoming DLC Fighters

According to a recent datamine, we may have confirmation of the next set of Mortal Kombat 1 upcoming DLC fighters, and it includes a handful of fan-favorites. Characters like Ghostface from Scream, T-1000 from Terminator 2, and more seem to be set to join the roster of the world’s goriest fighting franchise sometime in the future.

This datamine was completed by a YouTuber named Interloko. In a recent video published to their channel, they walk through their process of digging through game files and show proof that their information is entirely from what they’re seeing in that data. They also give a fair disclaimer that things are always subject to change and that what’s being shown in the files may not ever make it to a full release.

So what’s been discovered? For starters, Interloko confirmed a full list of characters that had been previously rumored, but that he was able to more definitively confirm this time around:

  • Ghostface
  • Conan the Barbarian
  • Cyrax
  • Sektor
  • Noob Saibot
  • T-1000

Of these characters, a few had been up in the air. For example, Ghostface and Conan were previously rumored according to files that seemed to refer to them rather ambiguously, but thanks to new labels, Interloko was able to nail them down. Additionally, Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot were also confirmed thanks to their names appearing more clearly in files as well.

Other previously datamined additions such as Cassie Cage, Jade, and Kung Jin are still more nebulous. As of right now, no new content has been unearthed to suggest that they might be coming to the game. Still, their names have come up a couple times, meaning there’s a chance we’ll get to see them in-game somewhere down the line.

Here are some images from Interloko’s video which show the specific strings of text that reference many of these characters:

Now, as always, we’ll lay down a warning: take all of this with a grain of salt. Sure, the facts here are pretty damning, but there’s always a chance that these characters never see the light of day due to all sorts of random circumstances. Until we see an official announcement trailer, nothing is set in stone.
