Earlier this month, dataminers that managed to get their hands on Mortal Kombat 1 during the early access period seemed to uncover proof of future DLC characters that are going to be added in the near future. Intros were found for classic characters such as Cassie Cage, Jade, and Noob Saibot, but things got a little bit interesting after an intro for classic slasher villain Ghostface was discovered, as well as references to the character in dialogue alongside mentions of a cloak and mask.

That would be a tricky trio to pick from, but previous Ghostface leaks pretty much make this
