MKX DLC: The Predator & Carl Weathers Koming July

The Predator & Prey Skins Pack Koming to MKX DLC in July!

Posted at 06/25/2015 10:35 AM EDT by

Mortal Kombat X introduced its first guest character in May with the downloadable addition of horror slasher icon Jason Voorhees. This July, one of action/sci-fi cinema's heavyweight warriors will also step into the fight with the arrival of The Predator! Get a taste of things to come with the first screenshots of the coming Predator/Prey Pack:

The Predator was first confirmed in March, debuting in the trailer for The Kombat Pack.

Mortal Kombat X Creative Director Ed Boon shared the first screenshot [top], including Predator film star Carl Weathers as a bonus skin included for Jax. Weathers starred in the original 1987 film as CIA Agent George Dillon: responsible for gathering and overseeing a mercenary team fronted by Arnold Schwazenegger's Delta Force Major. Their covert mission becomes a fight for survival when the alien predator begins hunting the team through the dense growth of the fictional Val Verde jungle.

The Predator is remembered for its unique arsenal of advanced technology and weaponry. From a mysterious warrior culture, it employs heat vision and invisibility cloaking - as demonstrated in-game by another Mortal Kombat X screenshot, last April. Fans may have gotten an even earlier glimpse of the alien warrior's yet-to-be-revealed weaponry in a stick figure storyboard.

Infrared Scorpion skin is the worst skin in all of MK's history. So f***king ugly.

They're ruining the lovely esthetics of the game with some of these costumes like Infrared Scorpion, Brazil pack, classic skins pack, Soviet Russia pack... All of these are so out of sync...

Also, why is it so hard to make additional costumes for DLC characters? I just don't get it.... Some characters have 5+ costumes and Tanya has only 1. What's the problem?

I'm not a fan of guest characters BUT I'm a huge fan of Predator and he fits well with the MK cast. I'm so looking forward to him. Would have been nice to have a Arnold Schwarzenegger Skin for Johnny Cage.

So sick! finally get to play as Predator in a fighting game. Always have liked characters that used his likeliness in design like Cyrax, Sektor, Cyber-Smoke, and Fulgore. The king is finally almost here, hope he has some sweet ass fatalities. I'm calling it now, he will rip out the spine and skull attached.

Predator looks fully masked here. Guessing it is his variation visual aid. Hoping his laser doesn't act like Zod's eye laser from Injustice.

I agree. I'd personally love to see her costume in Goro's ending as an alt.

I'll reserve judgement on Infrared Scorpion until I see it in-game. I do kinda like Commando JC though. Decent substitute for my missing Hotshot.

This!!!

The Brazil ones look like some poorly designed fan-mods, those Russian ones look like they came from a generic shooter game and this infrared one looks like a graphic card overheated glitch. *barf*

lmao

It's like they applied 1 filter in Photoshop and that's it. Took 5 secs prolly. I can't believe that skin is happening... I bet the online trolls will love it though.

I was a bit annoyed with Carl Weathers at first because I thought he was wearing a bandana and had Jax's face.

Then when I saw it on my TV(unlike my phone) I realized he had the cap and Dillon's face.

I had hoped they would have given him regular arms and the vest, but maybe his overall model and animations wouldn't work with regular arms, so they did the next best thing. I like the concept of the cloth around the metal arms. Gives it that army uniform feel.

Well, you all got your Tremor now. Can we finally move on?

I really wish they would have un-cybered the arms for the Dillon skin. I mean, it's not canon, so they wouldn't be violating any sort of fandom.

I have yet to unlock hotshot Johnny luckily this one looks similar

So I'm getting these stupid skins with Predator, instead of the klassic fatalities?

okay.

As far as we know, the Klassic Fatalities will be free. That was what we were led to believe right? There hasn't been an official comment on the Klassic Fatalities yet, other than Steam updating their PC DLC listings with "Klassic Fatality Pack 1" and "Klassic Fatality Pack 2".

First off I'm hype as fuck for Predator, but I was thinking about what sounds or quotes Predator will make during a match (like when he throws his opponent or something) and I really hope he uses that maniacal laugh that he did in the first movie after hearing it from the big Indian guy Billy (no idea how I remember his name). He could do it after he wins a round or maybe have it as his match victory pose. Bonus points and I would absolutely shit my pants out of hype if he said the "Want some candy?" line he uses in the second movie before killing that one dude on the subway train. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? lol i know Predator isn't exactly known for his 'quotes,' not sure how well known these are or if they'd have any chance of making it into the game.

Because your Predator hype obviously negates my preference for the klassic fatalities over these stupid skins.

Your preference doesn't negate the logic of releasing themed packs with each other. My Predator hype was completely made up by you.

Mhm, but it was a preference as to which one I would prefer so your logic (or whoever's it was) that you felt the need to explain was unnecessary. There was no logic other than I don't like the skins and I would RATHER have the fatalities for free than the skins.

Admit it, I called the skins stupid and you got upset about it. I'll live.

No they won't lol. Nothing but the klassik skins that come with the compatibility pack have been free, what makes you think these fatalities will?

I wonder how the whole Carl Weathers appearance came about. Yeah, he was in Predator, but...just how the hell did it even come up? Its awesome that he was even up for it.

Heavy Weapons Carl Weathers...get hype.

I think Carl also recorded some lines, did he not? I could totally be wrong here but I was under the impression he did some voice work too. Maybe secret convos against the Predator only?

His name appears in the credits under voice talent. So he definitely recorded something. Would be awesome if he did all of Jax's dialogue.
