But he’s not going to save the universe by himself. Liu Kang’s ideal universe is under threat as we learned from the first Mortal Kombat 1 trailer. Kano’s heart rip is an iconic, classic fatality that seems downright tame compared to what NetherRealms has cooked up in recent years, but the Kameo system seems very much a way to combine the newer Mortal Kombat games with callbacks to the past, which should leave both new and old fans alike happy. Just as how the Kameo fighters are nods to the series’ past, so too are their fatalities. Other changes include the fact that Kenshi can see, Kung Lao’s fights without his signature bladed hat, and Raiden is mortal following the events from Mortal Kombat 11. We already know that mortal enemies Scorpion and Sub-Zero are now brothers who seemingly get along, but Mileena’s teeth get a new backstory as they’re now the result of a disease rather than Mileena being created as a clone of Kitana with Tarkatan blood mixed in. Mortal Kombat 1 is a true and proper sequel to Mortal Kombat 11, but because of Liu Kang’s decision to reset the timeline in his own vision, the Mortal Kombat universe begins anew, and there are plenty of changes to the characters as a result. But “many of our Kameos are nods to our first game,” Boon says. So far, it seems like only pre-reset characters from past Mortal Kombat games are in the roster such as Mortal Kombat 1 Sonya, Mortal Kombat 1 Kano, Mortal Kombat 2 Jax, Mortal Kombat 3 Stryker, Mortal Kombat 2 Kung Lao, and Goro.ĭuring the stage presentation, NetherRealm Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon came on stage to talk more about Kameo and said there will be some characters who are available as main roster characters and Kameo fighters. Instead of just letting you choose anyone on the main roster to be your tag partner, there will be an entire separate roster of Kameos, similar to how assist-only characters worked in Marvel vs Capcom 1. While we don’t know the full roster just yet, it seems like NetherRealm Studios is being very deliberate with its Kameo characters.
