How about both Johnny and Sonya sit out and Cassie gets a variation from both of them and one of her own.We don't need both Jhonny and Cassie.

I don't think variations are coming back. I think Cassie is gonna be a merge between brawler and holywood.How about both Johnny and Sonya sit out and Cassie gets a variation from both of them and one of her own.
If Kenshi fully tought Takeda the way of Telekinesis, then I don't see him returning playable. I can see Kung Lao returning because Kung Jin won't ever be anything like his uncle.If the kombat kidz are returning, have their parents be NPCs. Kenshi can stay, though, I guess.
Maybe because some weren't well received and didn't have much to do with the story? Look back to the 3D Era.Why would they NOT bring back characters introduced in MKX? lmfao
The Cage bloodline withholds the power to defeat elder gods.I hope the 4 new kids are only used to brutally die in the story mode, worst fucking characters ever
WHY THE FUCK DID CASSIE DEFEAT SHINNOK AT THE END.
I really like the "descendant of warriors bred for the gods" thing but I thought it was a little much that Cassie beat Shinnok after he absorbed the Jinsei. I feel like he should be too OP at that point. Maybe they could have had Evil Raiden go in there for a fight. It even kind of felt like Raiden should have been the final boss. I don't know, just feel like it could have been handled a bit better. That said I look forward to what that ending will give us and by god was that post credits scene badass.The Cage bloodline withholds the power to defeat elder gods.
Point to me where they weren’t well received and I’ll believe youMaybe because some weren't well received and didn't have much to do with the story? Look back to the 3D Era.
Ferra/Torr, D'Vorah, Kotal, Jacqui and Kung Jin didn't have much of a fan base.Point to me where they weren’t well received and I’ll believe you
Yeah it was silly writing to make Cassie defeat corrupted shinnok, i guess they just wanted to make it obvious that Cassie fully inherent the Cage power and can now replace (or even surpass) her father's strength. About Raiden, I believe they're saving him for next game.I really like the "descendant of warriors bred for the gods" thing but I thought it was a little much that Cassie beat Shinnok after he absorbed the Jinsei.

I'm calling it. Special forces gonna support Raiden, and the Lin Kuei White lotus etc are gonna start a civil war.Yeah it was silly writing to make Cassie defeat corrupted shinnok, i guess they just wanted to make it obvious that Cassie fully inherent the Cage power and can now replace (or even surpass) her father's strength.

The way mkx ended was so hype, Dark Raiden could be the main antagonist in the next game or they just made him more aggressive and powerful so he can face whoever is going to be the next threat to earth realm. My guess would be Onaga, if you read the comic you'll see that Goro will probably be the next vessel to bring Onaga back.
Perhaps Raiden will keep all the kamidogus with him this time and obliterate anyone who seeks to take hold of them to revive Onaga.
MK1I can't imagine a Mortal Kombat release that doesn't include Mileena.
And this is the problem when it comes to not just MK, but fighting game sequels in general. People tend to want the usual suspects all the time rather than more variety in the rosters. I'm not one of those to buy or not buy a game for 1 or 2 characters, but when most of the post Trilogy characters keep getting shafted in favor for the same Trilogy characters, it gets boring and stale. The initial roster for MKX just ended up being MK9 + 8 new characters & Shinnok. The only post Trilogy characters that weren't in MK9 were Bo Rai Cho and Tanya whom were DLC.Otherwise, I think it is a pretty safe bet that all MK1&2 characters will be returning, minus Baraka, of course. It's NRS tradition at this point, and the last time they attempted to cut out some of their earliest and most iconic characters in MK3, it wasn't very well-received. Doing so again would be shooting themselves in the foot for no reason, and I don't see NRS as a developer that has climbed so far up their owm asshole that they believe they can replace them.
I strongly disagree. I feel as though there should always be a core of central characters who are sure to return with nearly every release when it comes to fighting games. MK without too many of these characters simply isn'f MK. Street Fighter without Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and Bison isn't Street Fighter. Etc..And this is the problem when it comes to not just MK, but fighting game sequels in general. People tend to want the usual suspects all the time rather than more variety in the rosters.

Personally instead of always relying on nostalgia, I think NRS should include more characters that debuted in MK4-MKD and see which ones can be improved upon. Like Fujin, Reiko, Li Mei, Frost, Havik and Sareena. And also bring Skarlet back.
I am hoping that Johnny, Sonya, Kano and Jax aren't returning.
I'm inclined to agree. I think the core cast should always be present, however, that core should be relatively small. Fan favorites should always appear since fighting games are, at this point, very heavily reliant on fanservice.I strongly disagree.

Also, 8 new characters is actually a lot.
