Summary

  • Ed Boon has revealed a new skin for Scorpion in Mortal Kombat 1 that's based on his design in the '90s movie.
  • He also seemed to tease that more could be on the way, as he called it a "good idea" to release one for Kitana.
  • The new screenshots also showed off Ferra in action as a Kameo, who is returning from Mortal Kombat X.

Ed Boon has revealed that Mortal Kombat 1 is adding a skin for Scorpion based on his appearance from the iconic 1995 movie, with more possibly on the way for other fighters.

As any Mortal Kombat 1 player is aware of by now, the latest entry has a lot of DLC skins for its fighters, which fill up the controversial Premium Store on a regular basis. Their prevalence and high cost have been a sore subject for fans since Mortal Kombat 1 originally launched, but there have been a few rare times when the praise outweighs the criticism - this is one of those times.

Omni-Man and Homelander seem too similar for one Kombat Pack, but after playing Omni-Man, I'm convinced they'll be nothing alike.

Over on Twitter, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has been teasing a few upcoming additions to Mortal Kombat 1 ahead of an appearance at CCXP Mexico tomorrow, which is seemingly where we'll get our first look at Homelander. Before we move onto the next big DLC character, though, Boon has shared a glimpse at a heavily-requested skin for Scorpion that gives him his appearance from the '90s movie.

1995 Scorpion Is Coming To Mortal Kombat 1

For those who somehow haven't seen the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, it's a surprisingly decent adaptation of the game that has become a bit of a cult classic over the years (especially thanks to the theme song). In it, Scorpion is presented with a simplistic design where he has piercing white eyes and wears a yellow and black gi that's similar to the games but with its own distinct style.

Nostalgia aside, it's an awesome look for Scorpion, and one that fans have wanted for quite some time. Boon randomly decided to share that it's coming to Mortal Kombat 1 at some point in the future, which he confirmed by revealing several screenshots of the skin in action. We don't yet know when it's coming, but we'll likely find out in the future.

Boon also replied to a tweet asking for Kitana's '90s skin, which he said was a "good idea". It seems there might be more of these classic looks on the way.

That's not all that Boon's screenshots revealed, though, as they also gave us our first look at the Ferra Kameo. She looks very similar to how she did in Mortal Kombat X, but she seems to be very distinctive in MK1 as it looks like she stays on the player's back and can be commanded from there.
