After a leak of the Predator on Friday, NetherRealm has released an official teaser, showing the 4 characters that will be playable if people buy the Kombat Pack. The characters are previously announced horror slasher Jason Voorhees, the earth ninja Tremor, the betrayer Tanya and the ultimate hunter Predator. If you buy the Kombat Pack, you will also gain alternate skins for all these characters so expect retro skins for Tanya and Tremor, while Jason may get a Jason X skin and Predator a Temple Hunter skin.
Predator has been rumoured and demanded by Mortal Kombat fans since Freddy Krueger was announced in Mortal Kombat 9, so seeing the ultimate hunter finally playable in the new installment has sent the hype levels through the roof for many fans. I imagine his three Variations will involve his shoulder cannon for zoning, his combi stick for mid range combat and his wrist blades for close up fighting.
As for Tremor, there has been a huge fan demand for this little known character from Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, being a member of the Brotherhood of Shadows who was unfortunately killed by Jax. After his special appearance in the Vita version of Mortal Kombat 9 and his unique story position of being the only Lin Kuei ninja to betray the clan and survive, fans demanded this character be added to the last installment via DLC and their hard work has paid off. Let’s hope his ground based attacks are truly earth shattering.
