Mortal Kombat 1 spoilers follow.

Data miners have discovered voice lines suggesting either cut content or upcoming, unannounced DLC characters. While NetherRealm has already announced the characters scheduled to appear in Kombat Pack 1 (see IGN’s Mortal Kombat 1 character guide for more), based on these voice lines, Kombat Pack 2 may include Jade, Cassie Cage, Kung Jin, Noob Saibot, and Cyrax. And Ghostface from the Scream movies. There’s even a suggestion that the T-1000 from Terminator and Conan the Barbarian could appear in Mortal Kombat 1 at some point.

NetherRealm and publisher Warner Bros. have not commented. Games is yet to tap into these data mines, and is unlikely to do so. However, Mortal Kombat head of development Ed Boon, who is known for trolling fans on social media, may have something to say about all this.
