Did Mortal Kombat 1’s Roster Get Leaked?

gameranx.com:

One could argue that fans are more excited for NetherRealm’s next title than many of their other recent games. Not because those other games were bad or unoriginal, but instead because Mortal Kombat 1 looks so good and has such a unique premise that fans are eager to get their hands on it. Plus, despite only being confirmed recently, the title is arriving this year, and NetherRealm Studios can’t wait to see it come out. Given the new paradigm of the world they’ve built, many wonder who will be in it and who will be playable. An answer may have been given via a leak.

The leak in question was posted online through “reliable sources.” While it’s easy to scoff at such a statement, these sources were apparently ones who knew about the announcement trailer before it launched and many of the details that Ed Boon confirmed when he was a part of Summer Game Fest. So if true, they could have much of this roster correct.

It also points to how this “new world” will bring classic characters to life and back those who haven’t been around in a while. We’ve already gotten confirmation from Ed Boon that certain characters won’t be around in the “new world,” such as the kids of Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, Jax, etc. After all, this is a rebirth story for many of the originals; thus, their kids haven’t been born yet.

Take the leak below with a grain of salt. But you can also keep it in mind when new characters are announced. Plus, there are five slots left to fill.
