It’s not like these three games are so radically different from each other or that NetherRealm is on such a crunch to push them out yearly or anything like that. Why can’t a character that has appeared in the last two games just be tweaked and included in the main roster at this point?Įspecially when they are already in the game like Sektor is. Sektor for example was playable in both MK9, and MK 10, and is literally a character that you can fight in MK 11. You would absolutely be within your right to be concerned since this is something that NetherRealm has done before, and despite the last three Mortal Kombat games all being really good, it’s a practice that’s really starting to wear thin. Given the current climate for games, it’s fair to have the negative and intrusive thought that NetherRealm is holding out really popular characters to sell later as DLC. While D’Vorah and Kotal Kahn played significant enough roles in the plot to earn their way back, Erron Black and Skarlet are just kind of there and it begs the question of why NetherRealm thought it would be a good idea to keep around so many side characters instead of popular ones that people actually wanted? Reptile and Mileena in particular have been mainstays, and seeing them out in favor of keeping someone like Erron Black around is bizarre. Hell, the Cage and Briggs family alone accounts for 25% of the main roster. However, after the addition of more new characters in MK 11, combined with an apparent desire to keep around some of the recently introduced fighters from the last game, classic characters such as Ermac, Reptile, Sindel, and Mileena hit the chopping block. These were mixed in with classic characters to create a pretty balanced lineup. Their presence doesn’t really spoil the story, but it does drag down the roster of playable characters.īetween the last two Mortal Kombat games, NetherRealm has introduced a bevy of new and interesting characters that have had an impact on the plot and earned their spot on the roster. That said, while the overall plot is great, and the main characters shine, there are a lot of ancillary characters hanging around still. Without diving too much into spoilers, MK 11 neatly ties together both the series’ past and present in a very effective way. Mortal Kombat 11 has been out a few days now and hopefully if you picked it up, you’ve jumped into the game’s incredible story mode.
