With one of Mortal Kombat 1’s most recent updates, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games added a fresh batch of alternate costumes that longtime fans of the franchise will undoubtedly be happy about. Taking from one of the most iconic games in the series, players are now able to purchase and play as some of their favorite Mortal Kombat ninjas with their classic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 looks.
So far, a classic outfit for Smoke and Sub-Zero has been released, but thanks to the wonders of modding, TQT was also able to showcase what Scorpion’s might look like if one gets added to the game. At the end of the day, these skins look incredible, and they look even better thanks to TQT’s beautiful artistic screenshots.
The digital photographer shared several screenshots over on Twitter that feature UMK3 Smoke and Scorpion. When other costumes like these are released for other ninjas, we will undoubtedly see similar images hit TQT’s timeline.
Today, though, we have Smoke’s new classic outfit to look at — which can currently be purchased for 500 Dragon Krystals. As mentioned previously, Scorpion’s is unfortunately a mod, so it is not currently in game.
Either way, both of these popular combatants look amazing with their old designs in modern day graphics. These costumes — which take inspiration from classic artwork illustrated by series co-creator John Tobias — feature black hoods with two small points on the tops of their heads that some fans refer to as “cat ears.”
TQT’s ability to capture all of the intricate details put into these costumes is second to none, and with some slick editing techniques we get an absolutely stellar look at these alternate digs. These images also do a wonderful job of highlighting just how incredible Mortal Kombat 1’s graphics truly are.
You can buy Sub-Zero and Smoke’s classic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 costumes via the Mortal Kombat 1 in-game shop right now. Unfortunately, we’ll just have to wait and see if Scorpion eventually gets the same treatment outside of mods.
