Mortal Kombat 11 game director has a habit of teasing fans on Twitter, and that’s exactly what he did on September 1. Tweeting to his near 600,000 Twitter followers, Ed Boon stated, “I see a tease in our future….” without further elaboration. The official Mortal Kombat 11 Twitter account then responded to that tweet with a meme of Liu Kang trying to decipher what Boon could possibly mean by the statement, as it lacks any other details beyond that a new “tease” is coming.
However, Boon didn’t just tease about a future tease. He also took the time to address one of the most recent “leaks” about Mortal Kombat 11, specifically in regards to Bruce Campbell appearing in the game as Evil Dead‘s Ash Williams. Recently, Scorpion’s voice actor suggested that Campbell was indeed coming to Mortal Kombat 11 as Ash Williams, which Boon has now called out as being incorrect. “The silver lining to the many ‘leaks’ is … there are so many wrong ones….. which conveniently drown out the true ones!” he said on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the other recent Mortal Kombat 11 leak came from a datamine of the game’s files, which seemed to indicate that there is 19 more pieces of DLC on the way for the popular fighting game. Whether this means 19 DLC characters or 19 new skins remains to be seen, but Boon didn’t address that particular leak.
Another “leak” came from frequent Mortal Kombat 11 leaker thethiny, who suggested that fan favorite character Mileena is coming to MK11 as DLC at some point down the line. Fans have been asking for Mileena DLC since before the game was launched, with many upset by her absence. NetherRealm hasn’t seemed interested in adding Mileena so far, but it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that Boon has had a change of heart about adding the character to the game.
If there are more Mortal Kombat 11 DLC characters planned, it will be interesting to see if they are released together or individually over time. The first batch of Mortal Kombat 11 DLC characters were released over the course of many months, whereas the latest trio of characters were added to the game all at once as part of the Aftermath expansion. There have been persistent rumors about a potential Kombat Pack 2 adding more DLC characters to the game, but nothing has been announced so far.
Of course, it could be that NetherRealm has no plans for more Mortal Kombat 11 DLC characters and is instead focusing on its next project. There are rumors that Injustice 3 is in development, and with next-gen consoles on the horizon, it wouldn’t be surprising if the studio is ready to move on.
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
