Ever since NetherRealm Studios releasedMortal Kombat 11nearly two years ago, the studio has introduced numerous DLC characters. On November 17th,Mortal Kombat 11is receiving Kombat Pack 2, which is a DLC pack that will introduce theiconic movie character Rambo, and fan-favorite characters Mileena and Rain.
Based on some digging through the game’s files, it appears that NetherRealm will secretly add a new character to the roster in the next DLC update. Although the studio hasn’t made any official announcement, a user on Twitter discovered some convincing evidence that supports the rumor of a new mystery character. In a post uploaded by Twitter user Skarlet Golpista, it was revealed thatMortal Kombat 11on Steam had been updated, and within the game’s files is a new mystery DLC slot.

However, the user pointed out that this could be for an unannounced skin pack, which is less exciting than a new character. But, this does not explain whyMortal Kombat 11’sgame files on Steam include four different character slots. Assuming the leak is true, it is difficult to predict which character will be added toMortal Kombat 11’sroster, given that previous DLC fighters came from either previousMortal Kombatgames orcharacters from other games or film franchises.Of course, just like with any other leaks that remain unconfirmed, players should take this with a fair amount of skepticism.
Meanwhile, the latest gameplay trailer for the upcoming DLC character Mileena containsa creative easter egg referencing fans' demandto see the character added to the game. To those unfamiliar, NetherRealms received some backlash when it launched the game without Mileena. In the latest gameplay preview, Mileena is seen having a conversation with Erron Black. After Erron Black asked why Mileena has come back, she responded with, “A million souls cried for my return,” which obviously references the many fans who bombarded every post from the game’s social media pages with demands for Mileena.
Additionally, Warner Bros. Interactive also released gameplay footage for other Kombat 2 DLC characters Rain and Rambo. In Rambo’s trailer, the film character shows off many of the stunts seen in his many cinematic adventures, including one with the character sliding a low kick knocking down his opponent, followed by a quick elbow to the face. Of course, Rambo fans would know that this specific move isa tribute to the originalRambomovie, where John attempts to escape police custody.
Mortal Kombat 11is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One, with versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X currently in development.
