Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Three More Characters, Leaked DLC Fighters Including Homelander Confirmed
Multiple characters appeared during the SDCC panel, including three heavily-rumored guests.
NetherRealm Studios took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con today for a panel centered around the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1. The hour-long panel not only revealed Li Mei, Tanya, and Baraka for the main roster, but it also confirmed six rumored DLC characters--including three super-powered guests.
Li Mei will make her first playable appearance in an MK game since the PlayStation 2 era, and she will be voiced by her original voice actor, Kelly Hu, who most recently portrayed D’Vorah in MK11. Baraka and Tanya--returning from MK11 and MKX respectively--also appeared as playable characters in the trailer.
