Mavado makes his Kameo Fighter return this week in Mortal Kombat 1, but he isn't the only character Ed Boon is showing off in new social media posts. The Chief Creative Officer revealed screenshots for a klassic movie-inspired Scorpion alongside the next & final downloadable kameo coming to the Kombat Pack! Take a look:
The childlike Ferra was introduced in Mortal Kombat X, riding on the mighty shoulders of her hulking symbiotic partner Torr. Now every kombatant will be her partner when she makes a return as the final Kameo Fighter included with the first Kombat Pack. She can be seen teaming with the klassic movie skinned Scorpion in screenshots below.
The aforementioned new Scorpion skin features the leathery yellow attire and distinct moulded black mask of the 1995 live-action feature film. Portrayed by Chris Casmassa, Scorpion was featured as an enslaved minion working for Shang Tsung (Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa), leading to a memorable battle with Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby).
Sharing images of the film-inspired design to X (aka; Twitter) [pictured above], Ed Boon notes, "It[']s amazing how much love MK fans have for the nostalgic costumes." Mortal Kombat 11 brought the world of the beloved movie into the games with a Klassic Movie Skins Pack, following the incorporation of actor Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa as the voice actor & likeness for that game's version of Shang Tsung.
