Something tells me WB Games and NetherRealm Studios are rather angry with Microsoft right now. An Xbox.com listing for Mortal Kombat X‘s Kombat Pack Season Pass has confirmed that the Predator will be added to the game as a downloadable guest character:
Kombat Pack grants early access to four new playable characters and skin packs. Stalk and slash your opponents as Horror Icon Jason Voorhees, or play as Predator, the Ultimate Hunter. Two Klassic Mortal Kombat characters complete the offer. Each playable character comes with a themed skin pack including three new skins for select characters. Also includes The Samurai Pack available on April 14th 2015.
The Predator’s Mortal Kombat X cameo was first rumored back in February, though NetherRealm’s Creative Director, Ed Boon, teased an appearance from the dreadlocked hunter in July. Now that the Predator is official, we can all ponder what new tack NetheRealm will take on “If it bleeds, we can kill it!”
It’s unknown when the Predator will make his Mortal Kombat X debut (Jason Voorhees was previously described as “the first” DLC character), but the game itself will be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on April 14. The game will also be released later this Summer on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
