Reader Discussion: What Do You Think Of The Mortal Kombat Guest Characters?
NetherRealm has always delighted fans with its brutal take on fighting games. Recently, the studio has been able to access some of film’s most violent villains, putting a Mortal Kombat spin on classic movie monsters.
Freddy Krueger’s appearance in Mortal Kombat 9 tested the waters, and the pairing was clearly a success. Jason Voorhees was announced earlier this month for Mortal Kombat X, and this morning we clued into the premature reveal of the Predator as another guest character.
With these cards on the table, what’s your take on the movie monster movement? Is NetherRealm headed in the right direction with these inclusions, or would you prefer these worlds remain separate? If NetherRealm were testing the waters for a horror-themed fighting game, is it something you’d be interested in?
If Mortal Kombat X were to get even more guest characters, which others would you like to see? Let us know in the comments.
