The Mortal Kombat 1 panel at the Comic-Con ended, and it wasn't Ashrah's day... yet! But that's fine because they focused on the Edenian/Outworld royal family as well as the whole intrigue with the Tarkat disease, and we had another great trailer!

Li Mei is back as a playable character, which makes me very happy! Darrius comes back as a Kameo, which was very unexpected! Reiko (probably playable) and Motaro (very likely Kameo) were also revealed, but we didn't get official images yet. So, 4 points to the 3D Era! 🙌

Tanya looks good as well, and awwwww, the way she cares about Mileena 🥺 Her bio says, "As an Umgadi, Tanya is sworn to piety and chastity. That is why her bond with Princess Mileena, were it known, would cause a scandal. By following her heart, Tanya risks not only her position but also her life." Mileena/Tanya is official now!!! 😍

Kombat Pack was also revealed aaaand I don't like it. Sure, I like Quan Chi, Ermac (as ridiculous as he unfortunately looks), and even Takeda, but three guests that, in my opinion, don't even fit the game? Gross. Anyway, here's the trailer if anyone wants to check it out:

We did get some Ashrah content though, thanks to the Cage Match trailer. Not going to lie, it's very weird to see her out of the Netherrealm, acting like a normal woman, and interacting with Johnny 😅

My overall impression of the art direction from what I've seen is pretty...bland. It all feels very sterile to me thus far. I'm still buying a PS5 exactly and only for this game, but so far I'm less excited than I feel like I should be.

And yes I agree with you these guest characters are not good! MKX definitely suited me directly with the horror icons. 11 was ok considering I'm not a huge fan of the action heroes on display, but they were still all fun. I haven't seen any of the shows or anything from this lot, so I'm in the dark entirely here. I hope there's more demand for this direction for others though!

I'm still looking forward to seeing where the whole thing goes so I'm definitely on board! MK is basically the only video game I play these days so even despite my reservations I'll pick it up. I just hope an enticing Krypt will pop up to help me get over it all.

Hope you're well!!

I don't see how the guest characters don't fit? Or fit any less then any other guest characters they've had? The theme with every guest character they've done has been coming from shows/movies/comics filled with extreme gore. And this fits that to a T.
