Kombat Pack/Premium Edition Characters Announcement When?

[Raider]

Where are they? Why do we have only one DLC character revealed 3 days before the game release? Shouldn't content that you are pre-ordering and paying money for be revealed before the game release?
It doesn't make any sense to keep this a secret and not reveal the content of the Kombat Pack or Premium Edition. What kind of marketing is that?

God damnit I thought this thread was showing the announcement of them

according to derek, the reason we have't seen them is because 1.) the marketing team have yet to release any information for whatever reason and 2.) they're just not finished yet.

They showed a render of D'vorah months before we saw a lick of gameplay from her. Even if the characters aren't finished, surely they can give us a teaser image.

Exactly. They can just announce them if they are not ready to be showed.

Edit: I edited the thread title.

They're probably gonna be revealed on april 22. If not, then don't buy the Kombat Pack or the Premium Edition

 

[Metin]

They are still working on them.

Unfortunately it seems like they're going to drip feed the reveals if Boon's tweet is any indication. And that's concerning if I'm still unsure about wanting the Kombat Pack when Shang Tsung is available to buy separately. At least, we should be seeing a second character soon, probably on Monday as a last-minute pre-order push (which most likely means a guest character, and that's also unfortunate).

I don't buy the "not ready yet" excuse, because MKX and Injustice 2 managed to show the 3D models weeks before the base game released.

 

[SaltShaker]

Ya, I believe something happened with marketing behind the scenes that we don't know about. It's like a completely different experience compared to their prior games marketing pre-release.

 

[Corruption100]

Havent they said they pick dlc months in advance? They could show some frickin renders at least. All people want is to know what is in the pack hell you're marketing it to be bought why are we still in the dark? Ive hated their marketing every second of this campaign ill be glad when they are no longer the only sources of mk11 content. 3 mfkn days.....

Y‘all see that supposed Switch Files leak on Reddit?

It was verified by the guy posting pictures of the files apparently?

EDIT: Somebody just posted it lol

This is so bizarre. In Canada, Premium Edition costs $50 more than Standard.

That's $50 for what is essentially just KP1 (and a steelbook). Are they planning on selling KP1 for $50? I somehow doubt that. So I'm not clear on what the incentive is supposed to be here. It's like they don't want us to preorder Premium.

Why can't things just make sense.

Am actually not in favor of that, I want to know about dlc only in a reveal trailer like this

A picture is just gonna spoil it for me, not nearly enough hype and goosebumps as a reveal trailer.

Canadian retailers have always slightly inflated videogame prices, I think.

I've decided to just buy the standard edition and get the kombat pack later (if it's not shit).

sigh This is a lose-lose situation for all parties.

If they reveal the character models, people are going to whine that they are finished and could easily be implemented in the game before release.
If they don't reveal them, people complain that they don't know what they're paying for in the KP.

If they reveal the names only, WB is afraid that some people may refrain themselves from buying the 100$ edition in advance. In my opinion this is the right thing, but corporate greed won't allow it.

 

[skater11]

Yeah I don't want to pay for something that I don't know what it contains. so im holding off on that and getting the 60$ version, the standard.
