Mortal Kombat 1 has now run through all of its announced characters after the recent release of the T-1000, but that doesn’t mean the game is done getting new stuff.
We already knew about the Mortal Kombat 2 movie skins pack coming to MK1 Khaos Reigns, and there may be even more interesting additions on the horizon.
Series co-creator Ed Boon recently shared a potentially exciting photo of some original Mortal Kombat 3 actors inside the motion capture studio at NetherRealm Studios.
Those are Kerri Ann Hoskins and Sal DiVita, who portrayed Sonya Blade and Nightwolf respectively.
He flat out states they’ll be MK3 skins inside Mortal Kombat 1, however, there may be some snags there.
Boon posted this on April 1, so it’s not clear if this was meant to be serious or just some sort of April Fool’s joke.

Moreover, Nightwolf isn’t even in Mortal Kombat 1 at all, meaning there would have to be more characters on the way for the game that haven’t been revealed yet (and it’d be kinda weird for Boon to just blurt it out to everyone like that).
But either way, the actors were present in the studio, and it’d also be a bit weird for them to just hang out and not do anything for the game.
Previously, it was rumored that Kombat Pack 3 for Mortal Kombat 1 had been canceled and the T-1000 was going to be the final new character for the game.
That was sorta contradicted with the release of Madam Bo as a new Kameo fighter, but we still don’t know what the future holds for MK1.
Ed Boon has hinted at future DLC earlier this year, so perhaps the game’s premature demise was a bit exaggerated.
And if Hoskins and DiVita are just now doing motion capture, it could still be quite some time before we see them in the game.
That’s if this wasn’t just all a joke too.
So what do you think? Was Boon being serious about new MK1 content, or was this his April Fool’s post for this year?
