(I know Ed Boon has said don't count anyone out of being in the game yet, except Hsu Hao). I'd laugh hard if Hsu Hao turns out to be the big bad of this game. Didn't Ed say it was someone who is known to the audience and would come as a shock? Yeah I believe he did. The story mode main villain will probably be Shinnok at first then move on to another person/people. The boss at the end of the story mode, and likely the last boss character in the arcade ladder mode should be this returning character. I'd guess Liu Kang but really hope its not!

It's probably Raiden, driven crazy by the loss of all his warriors in the previous game.

My bet is on Liu Kang. Raiden has been confirmed to be playable, Liu Kang hasn't. There's also his ending in Arcade mode to consider. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't driven mad from the grief of losing most of his friends plus Kitana, and so far it really seems like all of them are staying dead.

I hope it's liu kang. His heel run in Legacy actually works, so why not make it legit? Plus, I never bought his death at the end of MK9...he got f***ed up, no doubt, but something tells me he could have pulled through.

What everyone is saying, but just a little more detailed:
The heroes put down Quan Chi, and it looks like they've got a clear path to Shinnok.
Then suddenly, Zombie Liu Kang happens.
Admit it, it was one of the few things Deception did right.

We'll either get Undead Liu Kang, or a Liu Kang that's been put back together with Netherealm magic and brainwashed.

The best continuation of his story from MK9 is either that he's just so pissed off at Rayden that he wants revenge at any cost, or that he's been so consumed by rage that it's driven him insane. If Liu Kang shows up in MKX, he needs to be evil. Not manipulated.

Please don't be Zombie Kang from Deception, that was rediculous
Other than that, I'd be up for a heel Liu Kang, I think he'd play the role well.

Just checked out some of the original MK fatalities. Jesus, the hell they caused in the media! So so tame by today's standards. Society is screwed.

A lot of Fatalities that scared me as a kid I can't help but find funny now.

Got a chance to play the demo today (With all the revealed fighters so far, which surprised me! Thought we'd only get three or four, so well done Netherrealm!) and it was bloody incredible, with an emphasis on the bloody. Amazed at how gory some of the X-Rays and Fatalities were, even in comparison to MK9. Plays so fluidly, with the best of MK9 and the interactive Injustice stuff. I think it actually fits better here than it did in Injustice. Can't say there was a single thing wrong with it. Single handedly made me want a PS4. Got a chance to play as Cassie Cage, Kotal Khan, Quan Chi, Sub Zero and Kano. Of those, I'd probably say Cage was my favourite to play as. Fast paced, and more reminiscent of Sonya's gameplay, until you reach the X-Ray move and see the testicles exploding. (Also, Raiden's X-Ray move was different and more overdramatic than the one in his video. In this, he threw them high up into the clouds, electrocuted them, then brought them back down to Earth and broke their back Bane style when they reached the ground.)

I played it aswell there, played as Scorpion and Kotal. Apparently they were banned from showing Scorpions fatality for being to gory, managed to pull off Kotals however. For what it's worth but I thought it played pretty well.

As it happened, they only told us right at the end that it was Down+Square to pull off the fatalities for demo purposes, so only saw Sub Zero's, but that was plenty gory too.
