We’ve known for a while now that the inevitable expansion characters for Mortal Kombat X will include “at least one guest” (and NetherRealm confirmed as much again just two weeks ago). But exactly who these guests will be has been shrouded in mystery. But perhaps it was an invisibility cloak…
VideoGamer.com is reporting that an anonymous source has revealed that the Predator will be added to Mortal Kombat X as a playable character in an upcoming DLC pack. And get this… Carl Weathers’ CIA character from the same film, Colonel Al Dillon, will be joining him. If you’re going to include a character played by Carl Weathers, I would have preferred Apollo Creed, but it’s rather interesting news all the same.
This isn’t the first time that the Predator has been linked to Mortal Kombat X. Back in July, NetherRealm’s Creative Director, Ed Boon, retweeted a fan-made picture of Scorpion squaring off against the extraterrestrial hunter. Nor is this even the first time the Predator has been included as a guest character in a popular game. Last year, the character was featured in Call of Duty: Ghosts‘ Devastation Pack.
Mortal Kombat X will be released for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on April 14. NetherRealm plans to reveal new characters right up until the game’s launch, so we might get an official Predator sighting sooner rather than later.
