**Mortal Kombat 9 Facts Thread**
There are 26 slots for characters/bosses
How many characters have been confirmed so far?
There are basically 8 confirmed (see above: Scorpion, Mileena, Reptile, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Nightwolf and Sektor) unless you count in Raiden and Shao Kahn (aren't seen in actual gameplay)
What is with the special meter in gameplay?
Taken from TRMK:
Yes, there is.

So, when is MK9 going to be released?
Early March 2011
Will there be DLC (downloadable content)?
Yes, as you can see in the top image, there's slot at the bottom right-hand corner for DLC. Of course, many things can change from now until March 2011, but this is the most accurate information you'll get at this time.
Will there be any NEW characters?
No, it is said to only have the "classics", which is superb!
In the screen shots, why do I see other characters like Reiko and Daegon from MKA?
The storyline is said to be a sort of "back to the future" time-line going on. While there are only the veteran MK characters, you will also be seeing other numerous MK characters throughout the game that are unplayable (as of now, unless they would become DLC).
Is MK9 2D or 3D?
It is 2.5D so I've heard, which means the gamplay is in 2D like the classic MK games with 3D fatals, backgrounds/arenas, and characters.
What will the rating be on this game?
M for Mature... definitely NOT Teen, lol.
Also, the blood looks different in this game... is it?
Actually, much different from any other MK game. In MK9 whatever blood is spilled whether it be a kick to the opponents face or an axe being throw at them, whatever blood is spilled - stays for the entire match. That's also whatever blood lands on the ground or is on the kombatants - just to clarify. There is no doubt about it... MK9 is gory as hell.
