Mortal Kombat 1's Roster Revealed
Mortal Kombat 1's most recent gameplay trailer has excited fans by debunking a supposed roster leak that has been circulating for the past month. The leak suggested that the roster would include fan-favorites from the 3D era, such as Havik, Reiko, Nitara, and Li Mei, as well as Smoke and Reptile from Mortal Kombat 4.
However, the new trailer reveals that Smoke is indeed a playable character, confirming the leaked roster in that regard. The leak did not mention Rain, but the gameplay trailer includes him, surprising fans who were hoping for an older character.
While the inclusion of Rain is exciting, it is also a bit of a bummer for fans who were looking forward to seeing characters like Havik and Li Mei from the 3D era. The leaked roster gained traction due to insider sources, with a Twitter user claiming to have information from those involved in the game's development.
But the most recent Kombat Kast and gameplay trailer have now discredited the leak, revealing that Rain is indeed a playable character. This suggests that he was not included in the leaked roster and raises doubts about the other characters mentioned in the leak.
Leak Controversy
Mortal Kombat 1 has been plagued with leaks since its announcement. Story mode spoilers and the contents of the first Kombat Pack were revealed ahead of their official release. Despite this, Ed Boon, the creator of Mortal Kombat, teases that the team has a lot planned for the next Kombat Kast, indicating that there are more surprises in store for fans.
While the leaked roster may have been partially accurate with the inclusion of Smoke, it is now clear that character reveals will be a surprise. Fans will have to wait for the game's release to see the full roster and find out which characters from the 2D and 3D eras make the cut.
