New Look At Takeda In Mortal Kombat 1 Revealed

Summary

• Mortal Kombat 1's final Kombat Pack DLC fighter is Takeda Takahashi from Mortal Kombat X.
• We're only a few weeks away from Takeda's release on July 23, but a new look at his design has already been shared on Twitter.
• The new Takeda render seems to suggest that he's not going to be as old as many fans assumed he would be when he was first revealed.

A brand-new look at Takeda Takahashi's in-game design for Mortal Kombat 1 has been revealed, seemingly putting to rest the theories that he's going to be much older this time around.

Even though it doesn't feel like it's been that long since Mortal Kombat 1 released, we're actually fast approaching the game's one-year anniversary, and have nearly seen every DLC character from the first Kombat Pack be released. There's only one more fighter left to go, and NetherRealm has saved the absolute best for last - Takeda Takahashi from Mortal Kombat X.

I'm Already Burnt Out By Mortal Kombat 1's Invasions

Mortal Kombat 1's Invasions mode is already burning me out, and we're just two seasons deep.

Takeda has already been confirmed to be releasing on July 23 alongside the delayed Ferra Kameo, so we know for a fact that there's not long to wait until we get to see him in action. While we're still a month away from Takeda's release and likely have a few weeks to go until a gameplay trailer is released, Warner Play Latino has just given us another look at the best Kombat Kid's MK1 design.

Here's What Takeda Will Look Like In Mortal Kombat 1

As pointed out by Twitter user RealmKast, the new look at Takeda Takahashi comes from Warner Play Latino, an official account seemingly linked to Warner Bros. that decided to randomly tweet out an image featuring Kenshi's Mortal Kombat 1 render. As you can see from the image, he looks very similar to how he did in the Kombat Pack trailer, although there's a key difference - his age.

When Takeda was first revealed, many fans pointed out how much older he looked in Mortal Kombat 1 than he did in MKX, suggesting that he's aged significantly in that time. This spawned a ton of theories that he's actually a time traveller, but it seems that might not be the case as the render used in the image makes him look nearly as young as he previously did.

It's previously been confirmed that Perry Shen will be returning to voice Takeda, so don't worry about it being another Homelander and Antony Starr situation.

Alongside sharing the render of Takeda, Warner Play Latino also referred to him as "Kenshi's Son" in the caption, despite leaks suggesting that he's actually Kenshi's cousin in the new timeline. It's not clear if this is a mistake on Warner Play Latino's part or if the leaks were incorrect, but I'm betting that Takeda is only pretending to be Kenshi's cousin to protect his identity. We'll find out for sure in just a few weeks.
