There's no way they would have taken the time to do a textured paint on Kotal in the comics. There's probably a reason for why he does it but using the comic as a base of comparison isn't a good idea.

You know when a character design is so good it makes you want to play as the character? I never played much with Mileena or Cage in past games but now I want to.

I like everything about Johnny, except the outfit. That is one hell of an unremarkable, bland, uniformed outfit for someone like Johnny Cage.

This is what I was hoping they weren't going to do. Let the story interfere with the character design. It would be fine if you put earthrealmers in that grey samey special forces stuff for the story mode but not as their standard outfit.

God so far with the earth characters costumes are really looking awful. Too many greys, and blues and they look far to similar. Fighting games are a celebration of character. You are supposed to convey as much as you can through their appearance and their moves.

Johnny should be holly wooding it up.

FLAWLESS RENDERS!!! Jhonny and Milena look prety badass.

By the other hand, the Bios don ́t reveal too much, maybe this is a good thing. Be Ready FOR THE NEXT STREAM ON FRIDAY!!!

Considering Johnny's typical outfit is literally just pants I think he looks great.

But Mileena! Without out a doubt the best she's ever looked. I never thought that they would top MKD but this is definitely her best imo.

Those costumes ARE for Story mode. We will be getting alternates and additional skins, no?

It's refreshing that the women no longer look like they have DD implants, but rather a "make everyone happy" and natural looking C-cup... huh, kinda looks like my gf's figure

As for Johnny, I like his older look here... he doesn't look as worn in the face as he does in the story mode leak. Also, is it just me, or does his hair in this render look more like the shot of the alleged Cage during the Shinnok battle?

Love them.
Really hope we get a Sonya render soon.

Without a doubt the best Mileena to date. As someone else pointed out, her character model kind of has an 'anime girl' look to her, which I really like. And I dig the Shao Kahn nods in her outfit big time.

And they improved on Johnny's face from MK9 BIG time. He looks like a handsome, mature COOL older movie star just like he should. Gonna have to disagree with Onaga on this one because I actually really like how his military type uniform contrasts with his handsome, cool movie star face with the sunglasses.

Johnny looks awesome! This is his best look yet. His render just became my new desktop background, thank you to whoever found this.

Johnny looks badass and mature. Looks like a legit movie star.

Mileena looks sexy as always but not as revealing(which is fine)
SHE'S FINALLY WEARING PANTS

This has got to be her best outfit since her Deception alt.
Loving her hair

Well HELLO you beautiful, straight to video superstar! Johnny looks fucking incredible. Love he's doing the little director, camera frame thing with his hands, it's a nice little touch.

Mileena looks badass as always and I'm still sold on her new look/attire. So those bios solidify the leaked casting call even more; D'Vorah's race being called the Kytinn. We also now know for a fact Kano worked for Shinnok/Quan Chi during the Netherrealm War and Cassie's bio depicts her parents as among the FEW kombatants to survive BOTH wars against Outworld and NetherRealm (wonder who bit the dust during the Netherrealm War then?)

JC confirmed as one of the members of the Illuminati! Quick someone call Kanye & Jay Z

Both JC and Milz look fantastic.

I'm super pleased with almost all the costumes we've seen thus far.

I only really have issues with SZ's primary the leather straps on the headpiece bother me so much. Also I feel like the daggers are a tad bit overkill, thank god for unmasked alt and hopefully some great options in the skin pack in the KP. Here's to hoping for an MK9 primary because that was hands down one of my favorite SZ looks of all time.

Ferra/Torr backstory has some promise.

D'Vorah is a Kytinn from Arnyek.

April 14th can't come soon enough. so beyond hyped for this!

I don't see it. But okay.

Mileena looks sooooo good :')

Damn. i have to admit. Mileena looks legit! holy shit!

This is all I see when I look at the Johnny render.

Is johnny doing the Illuminati sign? lmao

Johnny makes this look easy.

Mileena and Kotal slayed this photoshoot.

Mileena probably has the best design for a female in MK.

I'd say so too.

I have nothing good to say about Cage, so I will just note, along most everyone else, Mileena looks great. She has a very 1980's metal band look to her attire.

I LOVE his hair. I couldn't stand the choppy hair he had in mk9. It was so distracting.

Nah

This.

Finally, we have some fierce female warrior. First Kitana: she looks cool, indeed. But Mileena looks so beastly, powerful, badass. She looks both sexy and agressive. Oh man, her best outfit to date.
