I'm of two minds about that. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}One, it would be great to see new Earthrealm characters and a different setting than the past MK games we've had, even if we'd be again losing some that were there from the start (except for Scorpion and Sub-Zero because no matter what you KNOW they'd make it into the game. Liu Kang may have been the regular hero but they were the poster children.)
On the other hand, it would be a shame to lose either of the Cages. Especially Cassie, who I feel got a bit of the shaft in MK11 compared to her role in MKX. Honestly, I know they wanted to redeem Liu Kang and make him a hero again after he became revenant, but Cassie's story as an Earthrealm protector seemed to suffer, as it seemed at least after MK9 and MKX that this timeline had shifted to have the Cage family be the new "chosen heroes" of Earthrealm. Even if we get an ancestor to Johnny and Cassie, won't have the same balance of fun and funny with serious that they did.
This is, of course, assuming they don't pull a Deadly Alliance/Deception on us and reveal that Shang Tsung's ending is the canon one and that story mode has us play resistance fighters to try and overthrow him. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Someone here said maybe having Hotaru and Havik in for the Kombat Pack 2, and maybe a non-canon story mode addition of them leading the fight against Shang Tsung, but even that seems unlikely. That ending was just fanservice for the original baddie. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) And yeah, 100% certain Subby and Scorp's ancestors would be in for my thought. But I wouldn't be surprised if they have it like the ancestors of our cast are in, like Jax's ancestor being a warrior from the Mamluk Sultanate, or Sonya's being a Joan of Arc-like French knight, or our version of Kung Lao being a cousin/fellow monk to T.G.K.L., so on and so forth. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Johnny is descended from a line of warriors from the realm of Order, playing as his ancestor seems possible.

That ancestor is another candidate.

Which I could see people not liking.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Actually, I think it's not the Kung Lao we've been having as a playable character, but the Great Kung Lao...the one that was Mortal Kombat champion until facing Goro. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}At first, I thought so, too, but he has the same exact voice, so I dunno. I seem to recall some material stating that modern Kung Lao is the reincarnation of the Great Kung Lao.

It's funny, I saw this thread being bumped, thought, "Ugh, what stupid shit did they do now?" and then got greeted with awesome news instead.

Two of those three would be great additions. The third... God, we have enough gun characters in this game.

How about Rocky instead of Rambo? It is a fighting game, after all. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

There was another leaked season besides that one - {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Havik Daegon Takeda Quan Chi Taven/Shinnok Reiko That is a really, REALLY weird tag-team there. Either way both these seasons rule, might reinvigorate my interest in the game since as-is I've not touched it in months.
