What characters if any would you like to see return from the 3D era that haven't yet? (By 3D era I mean Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon.) Maybe I'm crazy but I think Taven deserves a 2nd shot at being in a game. I'm also surprised we haven't seen Havik return. From that era, Li Mei.
If they want a Boss, bring back Onaga.

But they'd have to revamp his moves entirely as they played entirely on the 3d environments. And as always my answer of doing something with Hsu Hao. Instead of their usual look how stupid he is. Cause theyre the people that made him. I'll go back to my cybernetic monstrosity idea for him. Just parts that clearly don't fit together just all over him.

The important question is, will they continue doing Friendships?

Nitara got a dialogue mention in 11, and being what she is it's possible for her to appear...

Now, is that Edenia or Outworld for the scene with Kitana and Mileena?
And speaking of, I wonder how it will be that Mileena is still part-Tarkatan in this New Era.

I know it's part and parcel of the series at this point, but the gore in the trailer just kinda helped stymy a good chunk of interest I had in the game when seeing it. Mortal Kombat means gore, I know, but it just feels like they've tried to push themselves too much with it at this point.

I just hope that this time, developers don't have to go for trauma counseling because of the process of making super gory and detailed fatality animations.

I don't think it was necessarily that it's more brutal then usual, it's just the next gen graphics of the PS5/Xbox Series makes it more vivid.

I love that this is actually springboarding off of the Aftermath ending and we have Liu as the god figure in this new timeline, and intrigued as to what they'll do with timeline stuff as a result. Like, are we going back to only classic characters, or does Liu Kang remember enough about the Cage family from hanging around Special Forces in MK11 to have Johnny just aged up a bit and Cassie still around, stuff like that? I hope we do get fresh spins on the dynamics, the tease of Scorpion and Sub Zero working together rather than just reliving that rivalry for the 10th time is welcome, Hanzo and Kuai Liang worked great together in the last game, and we've had the movie for full on villain Bi Han. Title is gonna make things a bit awkward, as the second Mortal Kombat 1, let's just call it Mortal Kombat 1-2, or stick with 12 for short.

I don't like the sound of Kameos to be entirely honest.
I guess it's better than not being in the game at all... But if they were important enough to make the cut there your probably doing more to anger their fans than if you left them out to begin with.

Idk, I really liked seeing Sareena and Li Mei turn up during MKX's story mode, and how others would crop up in the endings of certain characters, getting to see their redesigns and how they fit into the new timeline, and allows them to plant seeds for wherever things go next.

I'm curious to see how Mileena figures into things with Kitana's and Jade's storylines, along with Edenia and Outworld as a whole. I also wonder if Tanya and Skarlett will be in this game either as playable, Kameos, or storyline figures.

I don't mind them showing up in the stories. But it sounds like they are adding smash style assist trophies called Kameos unless that need is from a bullshit peddlar.

To be fair, the Mortal Kombat series has a lot of characters, and there's only so much space.

Well, even you don't have anyone from the Deadly Alliance to Armageddon era, and it's just the original games from 1 to Trilogy....that's still 34 characters right there. Then there's the new characters from 9 to 11.

Im extremly concerned primarily about how its going to be possible for Cassie to be present in the first tournament. I dont want her to be relegated to a Kameo. Surely she's too popular to not have playable? I guess you could age up Johnny and Sonya and have them already be together with an adult kid?

I don't think it's going to be tournament-based like the original two games, personally. That weird eclipse thing being seen in both Earth and wherever Kitana was is a indicator.

Likely Edenia, her and Mileena are Co-Princesses it looks like.
