Ed Boon hints at Mortal Kombat 1 cosmetic options
Ed Boon hints at Mortal Kombat 1 cosmetic options that will include a big change from MK11, as the Mortal Kombat 1 release date draws near and reveals await at EVO next week. The Mortal Kombat creator took to Twitter to answer fan questions about the upcoming fighting game, teasing players to “wait and see” regarding character customization options.
With more details about Mortal Kombat 1 set to be revealed at EVO next week, before the game launches on September 14, Boon responds to Twitter questions about customization options in the new game, telegraphing that a significant overhaul is on the horizon.
“Will we see character customization at the launch of MK11?” Boon responds to the question, later adding, “We’re working on it for the next game and it’s a big deal for us.” He emphasizes the significance of customization in the Q&A, so it seems safe to assume it will be a significant part of the next game.
With MK11’s gear system receiving mixed receptions, with some fans feeling it prioritized quantity over quality, Boon’s decision not to share any details on Twitter implies a grand reveal is on the horizon, similar to San Diego Comic-Con.
With the new game rumored to introduce a significant overhaul to the franchise, MK1 is poised to deviate from the previous installment in big ways. Fans are hoping the new game will draw inspiration from the rich library of skins in the franchise’s history, and that MK1 won’t shy away from wild and wacky designs.
The MK11 alternate costumes were a mixed bag, so fans are eager to see what the next installment has in store. Naturally, speculation arose about the possibility of a Kreate-a-Fighter feature similar to Street Fighter 6, but Liu Kang’s god status in the upcoming game could potentially allow for player-created characters.
The article’s tagline emphasizes Boon’s hint at a significant change in Mortal Kombat 1’s cosmetic options, so stay tuned for more as we approach the fighting game tournament at EVO and the MK1 release date in September.
