The final roster for the first Kombat Pack of MK11 is finally known. Shang Tsung and Nightwolf are already available. Following next are Terminator T-800, Sindel, Joker and Spawn. Now, I’m the last the say these aren’t cool characters. My biggest problem however is I’m a bit of a universe purist and would have loved to see more of the old MK guard in stead of some cross-over characters. Reptile? Smoke? MILEENA!?

Perhaps a second Kombat Pack at a later date? Only, with Spawn releasing on March 17 next year it will be a very long wait if we ever get to see it. We’ll just have to be patient on that one.

Rant aside I do want to end on a positive note. I do think NetherRealm Studios is doing some good things in MK11, so they do earn some of my appraisal. Not a slam dunk, but great stuff nonetheless. And who knows … maybe I’ll change my mind …
