"BIG (new) MKX News Koming This Week...." "...Encore?

[Spunio]

At the end of yesterday's Patch Notes stream, NRS announced their would be more big news announced soon, and Ed Boon took to Twitter to announce it in usual kryptic manner. The Tweet, which you can view here, as well as below, but what are your thoughts as to what this could be? Kombat Pack 2? New skins for the newer kharacters? Finally getting a new netcode? PC version fixes? I (Tim Static) think the picture of the moon means that there is some new Klassic stages coming (The Pit as we reported before here) but post your conspiracy theories here!!



Update!
Ed Boon just tweeted this out not too long ago:


Seems to me (TS) that this is an actual pic of a screen shot showing off the The Pit X, in what will be called an "Encore Klassic Stage Pack" or just the Pit's Encore. Here is the image itself:



General Reaction from players if it isn't KP2:

Fujin Frost Rain Bo rai cho for kombat pack 2

 

[Scott The Scot]

Where there is Smoke, there is cancer.

 

[Tweedy]

I'd rather see better netcode than anything.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

The netcode isn't changing. It's part of the base code. We gotta just deal with it.

 

[Quantus]

"We're very excited to announce the dates for ESL season 2. KP2 is dead, git fuk'd lol"

 

[Braindead]

INB4 it's an MKX mobile patch.

 

[JDM]

I officially think there's no KP2. I'm so disappointed, fuck NRS for stringing us along so far.

It's going to be stages or something and ESL Season 2 announcement and that's it I'd bet.

 

[Daemantalo]

New Skin Pack or a stage. KP2 is out of the question. Sorry, I don't think it's coming this soon.

 

[ghostwriteous]

There is no KP2. I think they're doing one last character and that will be it.

 

[stamatis]

The stream was disappointing, this could be included in a hotfix,all this hype for nothing!

 

[stamatis]

Fujin Frost Rain Bo rai cho for kombat pack 2

FRost?really?if you had to choose 4 chars you 'd say frost,I hope no one listens to you!

 

[looktotheluna]

Tbh, all this hype over KP2 is getting stupid, as over 90% of that stream tonight was full of KP2, this and that and now everyone is butthurt because they didn't announce it lol.

 

[DownfouralitY]

It's gotta be a KP2 or at least a few more characters. They wouldn't lead us on like that if it's nothing, and they said that announcements are coming this week. I'm not giving up hope on this shit lol

But if it's just a few more stages or costumes, I would be completely cool with that.

Most people on TYM were actually more hype about the patch. You should get an invite to the TYM chat on twitch because the regular NRS chat is straight up cancer.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

It could be just Fujin replacing the ?. I could see it.

But I just don't think they'd do fewer chars for MKX than for Injustice, and the 'Kombat Pack 1' thing was too bizarre if there isn't a 2.

Agreed. I guarantee we'll know this week if there's going to be one or not.

I've been hearing this a lot, has these already been confirmed?

 

[Spencer]

I MISS THE PATCH NOTES VID where can I find the details?

 

[ZEROX]

It's either Shang Tsung or 87 more Scorpion costumes! Your move NRS...












please just let it be shang.......

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Aris heard it from a NRS staffer. The MK9 engine (which MKX employs) has this flaw in the code. It'd have to be rebuilt ground-up.

Yeah, know for next time for an invite. I had to full screen it because I wanted to strangle the chat users lol

 

[Mighty Durpyena]

Watch it be MKX web series announcement

Word, why even put a number if you don't follow up? I'm not convinced that they will announce what's in KP2 this soon after KP1 is finished mostly because I think they want to see how the community plays after this patch before they announce characters; fixating everyone on what will be instead of what is.

 

[John Grizzly]

Wow, calm down, guys. So impatient. The changes in this patch are huge and exciting. I wasn't expecting anything more. And if you honestly don't think more characters are coming, you're brain damaged.
