Fans looking for an opportunity to unlock the Keep It Secret achievement have their first shot with the latest Premier Tower! The Mortal Kombat inspired Tower delivers a klasically inspired stack of fighters with the most classic secret opponent of them all: Reptile!
For fans struggling with the challenge: Kotaku has provided a guide that's all together simpler than the original method to face the hidden warrior!
Simply select the Premier Living Tower. Ensure you win your sixth match with a Flawless Victory, and finish your opponent with either a Fatality or Brutality. If done correctly - this should reveal the secret fighter!
Those hoping to be completely immersed in the nostalgia of the original may want to set their expectations to low. Reptile appears exactly as he does in Mortal Kombat X, much like all the fighters found in the MK1 Premier Tower. With free UMK3 Klassic Sub-Zero just released, and more klassic skins coming in The Kombat Pack - the attention to detail may change in future Premier Towers! Sources claim more klassic themed towers will come, featuring MKII, MK3 & MK4 themes.

Whilst rebuking claims about Mortal Kombat X DLC, last week [full story]; Creative Director Ed Boon sneakily previewed what appears to be a unique intro perspective for upcoming guest fighter Predator!
The Predator was initially revealed by Xbox, before emerging from camouflaged obscurity as part of the Kombat Pack Trailer. The titular star of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster comes with a big bag of tricks, including mock invisibility and thermal heat vision - depicted in the image.
The Prey Pack of DLC also comes with a skin of Predator star Carl Weathers (as Jax), Commando Johnny Cage and Infrared Scorpion. Initial retailer reports have an unverified download date of May 23rd [full story].

Data tool site Steam Database has uncovered information regarding as yet undisclosed Mortal Kombat X DLC!
Sourced directly fromSteam Database Depots uploaded by the publisher, the list includes the Kold War skin pack revealed with Compatibility Pack v1.02, and items already confirmed for The Kombat Pack.
New to the list are encrypted depots for Klassic Fatalities 1 & Klassic Fatalities 2, as well as Skin Pack - Brazil.
Klassic Fatality DLC was offered for Mortal Kombat (2011), reintroducing the famed Sub-Zero Spine Rip fatality, among others [full story]. Two lots of Klassic Skins inspired by past games are already confirmed for The Kombat Pack featuring Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Jax, Quan Chi & more [full story].
Spine Tingling:Sub-Zero's original Fatality remains a perennial favourite.
Creative Director Ed Boon discussed relevant topics to both lots of newly revealed DLC during Brasil Games Show 2014, last October. There, he teased the possibility of a new form of klassic fatality, as well as a special element aimed at the loyal Brazilian fanbase. Exactly what "Brazil" character skins will involve is anyone's guess. Mortal Kombat X marked a design shift away from the scantily clad women of past instalments, but has favoured somewhat arbitrary themes for its DLC skins.
