It's been just over a month since Mortal Kombat 11 was released around the world -- and the only confirmed character for the downloadable Kombat Pack has been Shang Tsung. That gap in knowledge may be about to fill, with Ed Boon teasing hopes for a reveal next week -- if all goes well.

Mortal Kombat 11 will gain six more characters when The Kombat Pack downloadable content is revealed in the coming months. Guest characters from other franchises will inevitably be part of that group, but according to Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell -- Ash Williams won't be one of the crossover killers!

Mortal Kombat 11 is now officially available, but that doesn't mean its given up all of its secrets! So far Shang Tsung is the only one of six characters announced for the upcoming Kombat Pack. The downloadable content is sold separately and as part of premium editions, but data mined from the game's code may have illuminated what else is coming down the pike. Warning!
