NetherRealm Studios Shares Updated Shao Kahn Image

The Emperor Has New Clothes

Posted at 01/07/2019 05:28 PM EST by

NetherRealm Studios has released a new teaser image of Shao Kahn, in what appears to be an updated (more mellowed) version of the Krossroads from Mortal Kombat X! Across the social media platforms, the developers remind gamers what character they receive as an incentive for pre-ordering the game:

"Bow to me!" Pre-order #MK11 and play as Shao Kahn DAY 1! https://go.wbgames.com/MK11buy

This was the same message delivered on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. The new image shows a design that differs substantially from a previous render released by GameStop. Mortal Kombat 11 will boast a vast system for customizing characters.

What do you think of this look? Have you pre-ordered the game, in order to play as the Big Bad Emperor himself? Contribute to the discussion on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum! Special thanks to user predac0n for submitting a lead via Discord.

He looks to be the perfect combination of imposing / regal & arrogant, I absolutely love it but i'm not sure if this is a set costume or achieved through gear we shall see come Jan 17th!

The dragon arm is super interesting though I wonder if its just a design choice or if it'll actually be implemented into the lore.

WOW nice! This is btw from the official MK twitter:

Look at the background too. Wonder if he's somehow related to a dragon race, Onaga or something along those lines. Definitely wish he was part of the story now and for sure his best look to date! I always found him way too human like. Especially after that dumb movie. He was always just a guy with a hammer and a skull like helmet to me. This might the first time I actually like him, though his name has always been awesome. Really hope he has a variation without the hammer though.

Looking at the forearm i think the Elder Gods tried to turn him demonic as a disciplinary deed (around MK9) but he escaped. (Under the helmet) His features, red eyes and tiny spikes protruding from his head, in some appearances, gives the impression he's a bit infernal.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm as curious as everyone else to see if these dragon scales are canon or gear. This could be the top of the pyramid, all powerful Kahn from the original timeline. I'd absolutely love for the preorder character to actually get some story mode love this time.

I'm really not one to nitpick, but his right hand is bothering me. Other than that, possibly his best costume yet.

Gotta say that I'm loving his look. Compared to the underpants-sporting, seemingly BDSM-inspired appearance that he's donned in preceding titles, this one takes the cake as far as intimidation factor and overall aesthetics go. Definitely hoping this comes as a statue with pre-order options. It'd make up for the ridiculous disasterpiece that was the MKX Gold Scorpion statue *shudders*.

I absolutely could not love this design more. Such a fresh coat of paint on this bad boy! Couple of things:

That left arm is looking more and more Dragon King-y isn't it? Wouldn't be surprised to see him be the new vessel in this time line, if they choose to include Shao in the story.
The most important thing here, and other people have noticed this as well but, this is totally an in-game shot. Willing to bet my whole testicle set that this is the character customization screen with UI turned off. Those graphics! WOW. Also, that background looks suspiciously like the area in Jade's MK9 ending, no?

I think you may be on to something here.

The scales are on Shao Kahn's legs as well and his feet definately do not look human at all. I think he has been resurrected somehow. The main question is by who and for what purpose. I do not think Shao Kahn would take orders or be subservient like the revanents were in MKX so it would be interesting to see that dynamic play out between Shao Kahn and whoever resurrected him.

Oh god, not another samurai.

What’s up with NRS’s recent obsession with samurai gear? Shinnok, Kenshi, now Shao Kahn. He needs to go back to his MK2-MK3 design.

This is the best Shao Khan has ever looked, costume wise, I do have some nit picks though. I’m undecided on whether I like the sandals or not. They kinda have a cool Greek god feel to them, but I don’t like the long black tallon toe nails he has, that’s just unnecessary and gross, same goes for his fingernails, just give him normal nails. I also don’t care for the arm spikes. I prefer a more “human” looking Shao Kahn, like from MK9.

Mortal Kombat timeline:

'92 - '11: Ninja phase.

'15 - present: Samurai phase.

I'm dreading Sumo phase.
