I only just learned about it since not bothered with the game in awhile, but apparently when they released Spawn they seemingly left in text indicating who the season two DLC is. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Fujin, Sheeva, Ash, Takeda, Robocop, and Stryker. I think that's a waaaaay stronger lineup than season one. I don't even care about the guests but they're even way better than the season one ones. This lines up with what people were saying before all of the first pass were revealed, with a few additions. {Spoiler} Stryker and Robocop honestly feel like red herrings that they like putting in there to throw people off though, like Fujin in I think MKX. Honestly though the first pass was pretty meh for me, mostly because I couldn't give a rats ass about guest characters. So this would be slightly better imo.

At the very least, Terminator shows how you can't just put anyone in a Mortal Kombat game. I'm sure there was plenty of corporate bullshit with Dark Fate being released, but as someone who loved Jason, Leatherface, Alien and Predator from MKX, not everyone works.
From a gameplay standpoint, I'm not really sold on Joker or Spawn, but I blame MK11's general slower gameplay as Spawn would've been amazing in MKX.

It really doesn't feel to me like they actually wanted to do any of the guests in 11. In X, sure, there's a lot of love put into those, but Terminator feels completely like a studio mandate, Joker doesn't really feel far off from that either, and Spawn feels like they only put him in because people kept asking for it. And that feeling pretty much extends to some of the on-disc roster members - in particular everything about Noob screams, "Fine, he's popular so we'll give him a comeback, but we don't actually care about him at all," especially the way he's used in the story.

Well, that's interesting. If it is indeed a story mode expansion that would be very welcome, lot more likely to get me back to the game than just a season two is given I still haven't bothered to try out Spawn.

Holy shit, an actual story mode expansion. I mean, that was unexpected.
Wonder if the news of a longer life cycle for MK11 is true; seems like they're going to really space out Kombat Packs.

So does this confirm that the ending with just Liu Kang and Raiden is the canon one and not the one with Kitana?

I didn't know there even was an alternate ending.
Guest characters being made part of the story will be trippy.

Technically there's three endings. -Lose to Kronika, she kills you and resets things to her new way. -Beat Kronika but lose 1 round, it's Raiden helping you remake the timeline. -Beat Kronika without losing a round, Liu Kang and Kitana work together to make a new timeline.

Looks fantastic but I'm having a hard time justifying paying $40 for it.

At least they used classic Robocop.
Curious to see the other Friendships.

Well, guess it's about time to get back into MK11. All of this looks amazing.
Also, according to Ed Boon, Friendships, stage fatalities, and new stages are free. So that's pretty cool.

I had a feeling the spike would be one of his fatalities

Robocop is another character where I'm not 100% sure it'll translate to MK, but there's more to pull from than Terminator's "I am man with gun" attempt.

I'm... iffy on Robocop. I could very easily see him being more interesting than Terminator or I could very easily see him being exactly as boring.
Fujin and Sheeva look great though, and the former coming back is VERY overdue.
Also hopefully they bring back a Deception character at some point if this game's sticking around awhile. They have at least one new character from each other game (except Armageddon but it only has two and one of them's the giant pile of nothing that is Taven so what do you expect) including even DC Universe but Deception goes unloved.
