Director Ed Boon has disclosed that a skin pack including the original Mortal Kombat actors has been proposed for Mortal Kombat 11. Each character in the excruciatingly detailed fighting game series was originally spoken by a real-life actor. A petition to remaster Mortal Kombat Trilogy shows that fans are still interested in the series’ vintage roots, despite the fact that Mortal Kombat 11 transformed the game with in-depth character customisation and stunning visuals.
When it comes to brutality and skill in battle, Mortal Kombat 11 maintained its roots while bringing it into the present age. The current edition has improved character customisation, with each kombatant having a variety of skins and three distinct item slots to choose from. The distinct backstories and personalities of each Mortal Kombat 11 character show through throughout the game’s equipment, skins, Fatalities, and match start lines. Post-launch support from developer NetherRealm Studios added new characters and other cosmetics to the base roster. NetherRealm will introduce 1995 movie skins to Mortal Kombat 11 in November 2020, with performers from the first live-action feature giving their likenesses and voices to the expansion.
It has been discovered that skins of the original arcade game characters have been explored by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon. For example, the 1995 movie skins for MK11 may be used to replace the modernised versions of MK’s oldest characters with the original actors that played them. For example, Kerri Ann Hoskins, the original actress who played Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11, would take up the role, even going so far as to react to Ed Boon through Twitter.
Mortal Kombat’s arcade roots are plainly missed by the Mortal Kombat fanbase, which has requested that Ed Boon bring back the series’ original actors. Arcade1Up just launched a Mortal Kombat arcade machine with free online multiplayer as a tribute to the harsh fighting game franchise’s roots. Mortal Kombat, MKII, MK3, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 are all included on this retro console from the 1990s, making it the perfect way to commemorate the series’ 30th anniversary. Players will be able to face one other online from the classic cabinet thanks to multiplayer capability, giving the series’ very first chapters a fresh lease of life.
NetherRealm Studios has stopped support for Mortal Kombat 11, however, it appears there were many concepts that never made it into the final product. Mortal Kombat’s original arcade actors would be a wonderful tribute to those ancient games, plus it would provide even more customising choices to the series’ newer versions. While the highly anticipated skin pack for MK11 was never released, it’s likely that it may appear in the next instalment of the gory epic.
