Mortal Kombat's first DLC characters revealed

Mortal Kombat is weeks away from retail🌟, but NetherRealm Studios has already spilled the beans on the 🔯studio's plans to a release a pair of familiar MK faces as DLC shortly after the reboot's launch in April.

Producer Hans Lo recently told CVG fans can expect to see K🥀enshi and Skarlett added to the mix as post-launch content, explaining,"They won't be copy and pasted from characters already in the game - they're going to have their own unique fighting styles, moves, fataliꦗties and x-rays - all the good stuff."

At time of print, the intജerview has mysteriously dissappeared from CVG's front page, butnews of the character additionswere glimpsed in last week's scans from Gamepro's.

As MK devotees may recall, Skarlett (aka Lady in R✅ed), was the name given by players to the red version of the Jade/Katana/Milena character who was born as a result of a bug in Mortal Kombat II, and not (as some suspected) a result of lazy design.

"People always thought it was a hidden unlockable character and it wasn't, it was purely a programming glitch,” noted Lo. “They've always speculated and in fact it w𒆙as the fans who named her [Skarlett ] to begin with. She's no longer a glitch - she's an actual character, and she'll be coming pretty soon post-launch."

Kenshi, however, is an inte🍒ntional character who first appeared 🐎in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as a fighter who was blinded by Shang Tsung, and has been seeking revenge since.
