Ghostface arrives in Mortal Kombat 1 later this month. The long-lasting killer from the Scream movies is a little bit of a horror film oddball as each has been a special individual, typically working with others. And that’s true in Mortal Kombat 1, too. Plus two of the killers are literally mysterious Mortal Kombat characters.
Launched in 2023, Mortal Kombat 1 is a high-quality entry within the franchise with all of the blood, gore, and wacky hijinks you’ve come to count on from the long-running preventing recreation sequence. As has been the case for a number of entries now, MK1 has obtained quite a few post-release DLC characters, together with visitor fighters from different franchises. The newest visitor character is Ghostface from the Scream films. And in line with MK1’s devs, they is likely to be one of the distinctive characters within the historical past of the sequence.
Throughout November 13’s Kombat Kast video stream, developer NetherRealm’s lead QA analyst Stephanie Brownback talked about Ghostface and known as the character a “jack of all trades” that works alongside two different masked killers to drag off numerous strikes and fatalities. The primary Ghostface you play as has been transported from the films to the MK universe. And that is the place it will get fascinating as a result of in line with Brownback, this singular Ghostface killer then companions up with two individuals from Kano’s Black Dragon Clan.
Within the video Browback known as the 2 helpers “Black Dragon Enforcer” and “Black Dragon Murderer” and defined that these aren’t random nameless characters, however that the devs really know who they’re.
“I do know who they’re…however one of many enjoyable issues about Scream is the whodunnit facet,” stated Brownback.
“You shouldn’t determine who the killer is until the third act reveal. So for this stream we’re not going to call any names. It’s as much as you to have a look at the clues, the Easter eggs, and possibly attempt to determine it out for yourselves. Argue amongst yourselves.”
Brownback didn’t reveal the characters’ identities as a result of that may “very a lot go in opposition to the spirit of the Scream films.”
So who’re the masked killers in Mortal Kombat 1? Maybe Kira, a lesser-known character from the PS2 period of video games that loves knives and is type of wacko? Perhaps Jarek, who’s a really robust brute that you just would possibly describe as an enforcer and who has been referenced already in MK1? I assume followers and MK nerds will determine this out inside hours of the characters being out there.
Ghostface formally joins MK1’s roster on November 26. Nevertheless, in case you personal the Premium or Kollector’s Version of the preventing recreation, you may play because the killer as early as November 19.
