New Shao Kahn render! MK11

[HeavyNorse]

We have a new, in-game look at Shao Kahn for his upcoming release in Mortal Kombat 11. It looks like that fancy Samurai looking gear might be part of his new outfit, with the Emperor of Outworld looking to mix things up for his first playable debut in the modern MK era.

And he looks absolutely awesome, imo!

A Raiden render was subsequently released to go with the Shao Kahn render

Oh my god the gold looks soo nice

 

[AcCooper20]

Very nice. Cant wait to see more characters.

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Nice. I believe this screen may be the kharacter kustomization screen for the game as well, it just has that feel, which also looks cool.

It does kinda look like that, huh. I could see that.

Wait... does this mean this is a screenshot?!

 

[Rice]

He looks awesome.

Also it indeed looks like the customization menu.

Interesting is this weird cave background. Reminds me of Jades MK9 ending her meeting the mysterious woman.

Coincidence? Maybe not

Ooooh... that's a really good point!

 

[HellblazerHawkman]

So I guess the kind of Samurai thing is the theme across all of his outfits? Guessing this is his default

 

[BecomingDeath13]

He looks bad ass.

 

[Evil Canadian]

Its alright, but I much, much more prefer the classic look to this. Shao Kahn should not be about flash and this looks a bit too flashy.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Dope. Let's go

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Its alright, but I much, much more prefer the classic look to this. Shao Kahn should not be about flash and this looks a bit too flashy.

He entered the series wearing a giant shiny skull with a huge plate on top, and giant spikes coming out of his shoulders. Dude's always had that swag. If anything, this is actually more reserved than MK2.

 

[Charybdis]

Oh its beautiful

 

[zerosebaz]

I dont like this look at all. It feels too convoluted, and way too different from his usual styles. The gold and that arm... I hope you can change him to a more classic look.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Holy fucking shit.

They did what I always wanted them to do, they emphasized his “Outworldness”. Before he just looked like a really big human unless you saw him without the helmet.

Now he looks like some vicious half-dragon/half-godly emperor of a man.

I always main the LARGE and IN CHARGE so he was on my list as soon as he was revealed, but he looks so damn badass I honestly might put him as my 1.

I mean, before he was intimidating, but now he actually looks scary.

 

[MKF30]

Looks cool, but I do like how in that other picture we can make him the OG Klassic Shao Kahn. I like the classic skull mask more. I do like how he looks less human and more like the demonic race he is from Outworld. His hammer looks like a giant meat beater though, not going to lie lol.

Shao’s design has always been heavily inspired by a mixture of stereotypical barbarian and samurai design.

 

[Krankk]

Yeah, there is some dragon action going on for sure.

 

[DelSchokoladenSaft]

10 days.
10 days until the reveal.
10 days until I accidentally overcharge someone when I don't pay attention to work and watch the stream on my laptop. Can't wait.

 

[Raider]

I hate the fact that he is pre-order bonus, i couldn't care less about him. It literally makes me to not pre-order. There is hype but there is also anti-hype i guess...

 

[StormGoddess]

dem toes....
yikes

on a side note-
has Shao Khan always looked half alien/dragon and the new render system can now properly show this?
what is his Edenian race?

awesome render btw

 

[FoughtDragon01]

His hammer looks like a giant meat beater though, not going to lie lol.

To be fair, it's not like he uses that thing for carpentry, so I can't fault 'em too much on that design choice.

But seriously, I'm digging the hell out of this half-dragon thing they've got going on. Looks like if He-Man and Samurai Jack had a baby with Shredder as the cool/creepy uncle.

 

[HeavyNorse]

a giant meat beater though

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[John Grizzly]

Oh my god. My man looks soooo dope. And everyone needs to calm down about this look being too far removed from his original look. Did people not watch the part in the trailer when Scorpion shows up with gear he wore decades ago? You'll be able to make him look like old school Kahn, without question.

This looks incredible, though. I can't wait to see more character renders (namely Noob and Ermac).

Giant barbarian man is a look, but flashy it isn't. All this gold accented stuff doesn't jive with what I found cool about Shao Kahn at all.

I am sure I will be able to have the classic look, but I just don't like this one at all.
