First DLC characters for Mortal Kombat unveiled

By Jonny

Netherrealm Studios have confirmed the first batch of DLC for Mortal Kombat, and you will be glad to hear that two new fighters will be joining the Kombat shortly after the game releases next month. In an interview with CVG, Mortal Kombat producer Hans Lo announced that the two new characters will be Kenshi, who fans will recognise form previous MK games and Scarlet, who is a bit more interesting as you will soon find out.

"Anyone who knows the history of Mortal Kombat will tell you that back in the days of the arcade - when they did just palette swap characters to come up with multiple fighters in the game - there was a glitch in one of the old arcade machines that caused the Jade/Katana/Milena female ninja to glitch and turn red.
"People always thought it was a hidden unlockable character and it wasn't, it was purely a programming glitch. They've always speculated and in fact it was the fans who named her Scarlet to begin with. She's no longer a glitch - she's an actual character, and she'll be coming pretty soon post-launch."

Hans Lo also stated that these characters will not copy the move set of existing characters, but will have their own unique fighting styles and fatalities.
