Yes, but that’s just likely a DLC bundle, like MKXL, while the character count leak came from an older file that was datamined. I don’t doubt that NRS had 11 more characters planned, but circumstances have changed since then. Here’s everything that’s happened since they announced their long lifespan plans for MK11:
- Launch state of the game, particularly extremely frustrating ToT, resource grind, and barebones multiplayer modes that quickly drove away casuals, their biggest consumer base
- Dropped from EVO a year after launch. It’s not a deathnell for the competitive scene, but it’s also not a great sign for long-lived competitive relevance
- Coronavirus. Nearly every company in every sector is reprioritizing their projects due to lost productivity, revenue streams, or both. (Unless you’re Netflix or Zoom, in which case they’re going for balls to walls growth.)
Not that I don’t want 11 more characters - I’d love to see more - but a lot has changed since the file that was datamined was created and expectations should be tempered.
