NetherRealm Studio has announced to CVG, the first two DLC characters for Mortal Kombat.
The first of the two characters is Kenshi. Kenshi was first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. He’s the guy that wears a red bandana over his eyes and wielded a sword.
The second of the characters is Scarlet. Scarlet was based on a myth that she appeared way back in Mortal Kombat II. That myth is now a reality.
Hans Lo explains the addition of the DLC characters:
“They won’t be copy and pasted from characters already in the game – they’re going to have their own unique fighting styles, moves, fatalities and x-rays – all the good stuff,”
“Anyone who knows the history of Mortal Kombat will tell you that back in the days of the arcade – when they did just palette swap characters to come up with multiple fighters in the game – there was a glitch in one of the old arcade machines that caused the Jade/Kitana/Mileena female ninja to glitch and turn red,”
“People always thought it was a a hidden, unlockable character and it wasn’t. It was purely a programming glitch. They’ve always speculated and in fact it was the fans who named her Scarlet to begin with,” continued Lo. “She’s no longer a glitch – she’s an actual character, and she’ll be coming pretty soon post-launch.”
