Notable Absences from Mortal Kombat 1 Roster

Of the 24 characters, we are currently aware of 11 of them: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Mileena, Kitana, Johnny Cage, Jax, Kano, and Shang Tsung, who is a pre-order bonus. This indicates that there are 13 characters that we do not, at least officially, know about.

While the leaked Mortal Kombat 1 roster brings excitement, it also reveals the absence of certain beloved characters.

Cyrax, Sektor, and Jade won’t be returning to the roster, which may disappoint some fans. Cole Young, the protagonist of the recent Mortal Kombat film, will also not be featured in the Mortal Kombat 1 roster.

Additionally, Skarlet’s voice actress, Beata Pozniak, did not reprise her role for Mortal Kombat 1. Beata Pozniak, tweeted “Me too,” confirming she didn’t work on the game after a fan posted a photo of Skarlet with the remark “I’m really gonna miss her” on Twitter.

However, there is still hope for their return in later DLCs, offering the potential for surprises and additional content in the future. Whether this news is disappointing or a relief depends on individual preferences and opinions.

What to expect from the Mortal Kombat 1 Roster?

In an interview with VentureBeat, Ed Boon revealed that Mortal Kombat 1 will feature characters from various eras of the franchise. This means that characters from the arcade era all the way to the Deception, Deadly Alliance, Armageddon era, and possibly even the 9, X, and 11 eras will be included in the game.

Also, Ed Boon has previously mentioned that the game’s plot will determine which characters are part of the main Mortal Kombat 1 roster. However, he also hinted that the Kameo Fighter system will be used to include fan-favorite characters and even guest characters from outside the Mortal Kombat series.

This approach allows NetherRealm to focus on fighters relevant to the plot while still providing fan service and opening up the game for exciting crossovers and unexpected additions.
