Report: Mortal Kombat 11 Ash Williams DLC Leaked via Newsletter

mortal kombat 11 ash williams

An official email that is making its way to newsletter subscribers, may have just confirmed the Mortal Kombat 11 Ash Williams DLC that was originally leaked back when the game launched.

The leak comes from an official email from Warner Brothers, stating that the latest DLC character, Spawn, is now available to purchase for everyone. Upon inspecting the email, if you glance near the bottom at all the registered trademarks of characters in the game, you’ll notice one that is yet to be confirmed.

You can clearly see all the guest characters with their respective trademark owners, but the most interesting one of the bunch is the character Ash from the Evil Dead franchise. In this case, it’s his version from the Army of Darkness, the third film in the series. While not officially called “Evil Dead 3”, Army of Darkness was a direct sequel to the second film, with Ash Williams being sent back in time during the medieval age. It was meant to be a reboot with a loose continuation from the second film. This is a bit important to know, as Bruce Campbell confirmed himself that Evil Dead’s Ash William would be appearing in the game a little less than a year back.


With it being marketed as “Army of Darkness”, this could very well mean that the team is considering it to be outside of the original two Evil Dead titles, along with Tv Show and upcoming Evil Dead game. Of course, it could simply mean that Bruce Campbell is under NDA, and guest stars who have appeared in Mortal Kombat titles have all denied rumors only to confirm them later.

Known MK11 dataminer, TheThiny also noted that the character was readded into the game with the recent update along with a few others.

Guess we will have to find out, and probably sooner since the Kombat Pass has concluded. We’ll be sure to keep you all updated on the subject, but for now, consider Mortal Kombat 11 Ash Williams DLC to still be rumored.

Worst gaming news I’ve heard in a long time, the Woke/SJW/Liberal/unAmerican Social Justice Kombat XI is getting the non-politically correct Ash? Talk about a terrible fit. Worse than adding that actor that ruined Walking Dead into Tekken 7 (was a zombie show before he was added, stopped being about zombies ever since then…ruined)

Soooooo 99% probability of being fake as hell ……Army of Darkness is owned by Universal Pictures….Orion/MGM have nothing to do especially with Army of Darkness……Makes zero sense that a studio that has no claim to any of the Evil Dead films would be licensing a character from a movie owned by Universal Studios

That is not true at all, the recent Army of Darkness comics bear their trademarks. These just came out last month. I don’t even think Universal owns anything with it any more either as IIRC Sami Rami got those rights some time ago. And if they do, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been licensed away as the image above indicates.

You can find their trademarks on plenty of other Evil dead comics prior, like Ash/Xena cross-over, ect

Edit: Update on that Universal thing, so Dynamite comics has tons of agreements with Universal Studio to publish their content. They are authorized to used the Army of Darkness license. All their comics around it have Orion and MGM trademarks

Also notice it says “Licensed from”, which is something they in fact do hold at the moment

The Doom Slayer is a much better choice for MK11… I don’t even know who’s Ash Williams.
