Prior to the official release ofMortal Kombat 11, there was a massive DLC character leak that has been proven to be incredibly accurate thus far. Every single character it leaked has appeared in Kombat Pack 1, from November’s Sindel toMarch’s Spawn release inMK11. However, it also listed three characters who have not yet been confirmed, but data mines and leaks since then have supported these three characters.
For Kombat Pack 2, all signs point toward the God of Wind Fujin, the Shokan Warrior Sheeva, andThe Evil Dead’s Ash Williams.Audio for Fujinwas recently discovered, all but officially confirming the character would be added to the game in the future, with the other two seemingly being a shoe in as a result. A leak being accurate so far and being so heavily supported by in-game additions doesn’t seem likely to suddenly be wrong, though it also stands to reason thatMortal Kombat 11developer NetherRealm Studios could change its mind about these additions at any time.

Most fans lean toward the theory that Joker replaced Ash Williams to either synergize with the Joker movie release and capitalize the character’s popularity, despite the lackluster Joker design, whereas others think something could have prevented Ash Williams from joining theMortal Kombat 11roster.
Either way, the current lineup for Kombat Pack 2 suggests Fujin, Sheeva, and Ash Williams will be available, but there will likely be more characters added to it. Kombat Pack 1 featured 3 returning Mortal Kombat characters, as well as 3 guest characters. Assuming that Kombat Pack 2 follows the same pattern, that means there is still 1 MK character and 2 guest characters that go unmentioned.
Unfortunately for fans,the Terminatortakes a trolling shot at DLC characters itself, listing Mileena, Rain, Li Mei, Sareena, Meat, and Mokap as DLC characters. This joke, more than likely, rules out these fan-favorite characters as DLC, though still perhaps one of them will take up that coveted empty slot forMortal Kombatcharacters, with Mileena and Rain being some of the most fan-requested characters.
As far as guest characters go, these could be anyone’s guess. Some of the most fan requested characters are Doom Guy, which may correspond well with2020’s release ofDoom Eternal; another horror movie-inspired character like Pennywise or Michael Myers; and another comic book character, like Batman or Deadshot, sinceMortal Kombatfalls under the wide Warner Bros. company family.
Of course, there’s the big question as to when these characters will or could actually release inMortal Kombat 11. Sindel releases in November, Joker in January, and Spawn in March, so it seems likely that this every 2-month formula would stay the pattern. This would suggest that the firstKombat Pack 2 characterwould release in May 2020, so fans shouldn’t hold their breath for any official reveals any time soon.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
