Unlikely yet not impossible theory:

The blue logo is a swerve, and they're going to reveal Frost, not Sub-Zero.

I freely admit this isn't likely, yet... a small part of me hopes some news for the main game will come out of this Kombat Kast... so... I tried to come up with a theory, lol.

I've seen several people mention now that the Injustice Mobile stream unveiled Scarecrow, so... *Fingers Crossed*

I think they'd piss a lot of players off if they announced mobile exclusive characters, though. Because wasn't Scarecrow just an exclusive to the mobile game?

MKX had several mobile exclusive characters actually. And costumes. And it did piss people off, yet it happened all the same. Jade, Baraka, Kintaro, Shao Kahn & Freddy Krueger were all in MKX Mobile. And while most of them were just re-using assets from MK9, Jade was actually a completely unique character, w/ a brand new look.

That said... I wasn't implying Frost would be exclusive to mobile. I meant she'd be in both Mobile & Regular. Mobile would simply be the venue through which they revealed her.

I have no idea if Scarecrow was or wasn't mobile exclusive, because I honestly didn't play injustice, I've just heard several people bring it up the last few days *Shrug*

Hmmm. I didn't know that. Again, I never played MK Mobile. So I guess if they did it before, nothing is probably going to stop them from doing it again.

And my bad, I misunderstood what you said on Frost.

The only reason I’m watching this is because NRS has a habit of being slick and sliding in unannounced characters into the mobile game trailers. Pretty sure that’s how Kenshi was first revealed in MKX.

Scarecrow wasn't mobile exclusive.

Edit: yeah I vaguely recall the same thing with Kenshi too.

It's roughly 8 weeks to release....

Now the kasts aren't really an effective marketing thingy as I think it's mainly done for fans and so far mega sites like IGN and Gamespot ( I know both ain't what they used to be and the everything is shifting to YouTube channels and what not) haven't really been heavily covering the game.

I wonder if WB is gonna hit the marketing hammer soon cause it might be too late.

As for the mobile last, I am not interested. Good for those who play on the phones but I don't

There’s 2 MK related items on the front page of IGN right now.

Yes, Kenshi was initially revealed through a mobile screenshot on IGN or something, I think.

But yes, all of their mobile games have had exclusives; Injustice 1 had Arkham Knight, Darkseid and Static. MK Mobile has had Kintaro, Baraka, Freddy, Jade and Shao Kahn. Injustice 2 has Shazam, Batwoman, Silver Banshee. But they never roll those folks out until at least up to a year or so after console launch it feels like so if they show off anybody new, more than likely they are part of our base roster.

Probably depends on their definition of "heavily covering" the game

I'll likely be skipping this kast. I'll just find out later whether or not anything MK11 related came up.

I’ve been looking forward to this Kombat Kast more than any other. Can’t wait.

Funny there’s a couple of people thinking we may get a frost reveal I had that thought today too!

Pretty unlikely but fingers crossed we are getting closer to release date and there are many characters to reveal so who knows maybe we’ll get her or someone else all together

So.....where was it

Well, the only thing newsworthy is that there’s an mk11 kast next week...

and mk11 Jade is the new character on mobile...

but mainly the mk11 kast.

Todays new info;

• 3 new characters are MK11 Scorpion, Raiden & Jade.
• Brand new menu layout / UI.
• All pre-existing character models have been tweaked to look on par with the newer models thanks to the latest upgrade.
• Character Challenges are now rebranded as Character Trials. You will be able to test out the character you are working toward unlocking through the familiar five towers.
• 23 pre-existing characters have been reworked from Gold to Diamond tier to make them more powerful / useful. Those revealed in the stream include Assassin Kitana, Assassin Jade, Revenant Jax, Tournament Quan Chi, Dark Emperor Liu Kang, Kold War Sub-Zero, Kold War Sonya Blade, Kold War Scorpion, Nightmare Freddy Krueger, Relentless Jason, Pretty Lady Leatherface, Spec Ops Scorpion, Punk Cassie Cage, Undead Hunter Johnny Cage, Ronin Takeda, Ronin Kitana, Ronin Kenshi, DOTD Erron Black, DOTD Kitana & DOTD Jade.
• 50 more quests added to Quest Mode. These take place in the Netherrealm. They warn its for more powerful characters.
• Cannot play offline anymore due to UR4 upgrade but game runs at 60 fps.
• Update drops next week, official day not revealed yet.

Ed Boon knows 99% of MK fans could of gave a shit about the mobile garbage which probably is why he just tweeted out a Johnny Cage teaser image. At least he is trying to throw us a bone.

Did they say if you'll get costumes for the main game again by playing this?

So it seems like I dodged a nice bullet.

Hoping next week's kast is a lot better. Might skip that one too, honestly.

No but honestly, they probably will. Mobile makes them a lot of money.
