So, some of you know I attended Eurogamer last Thursday. Had an absolute BLAST and MKX blew me away. Haven't really had a chance to update since then.
Anyway, the WB promoter saw how excited I was to be on the stand. I explained I'd taken the day off work and basically come to the show exclusively to see MKX. WB guy then asked if I wanted to meet one of the designers. Well, practically collapsed with excitement!! So, brought me round to meet Derek Kirtzic (I'll upload pictures later on). He was amazing, super friendly and obviously loves the MK community, wanted to know how I found the gameplay on a more technical level.
After some chat about gameplay, I asked him straight if there were gonna be any MK4-Deception characters. He took a looonng pause, then said he couldn't say. Then I asked directly if Havik would be in the game. He paused again, seemed a little surprised - or caught out, - then again said he couldn't say. Did the same for Tanya. He was laughing and again, couldn't say - job depended on it.
Then, at the end, "I can't confirm anything, but what I will say is you're gonna be extremely happy with the direction the series has taken.."
So, there we go - news-ish
Amazing afternoon, and left on a high. I promised him I'd post our pics on here. If you're reading Derek, thank you for being such a good sport and being fucking awesome!!

Praying Tanya's in the game. Don't care for Havik, but he'd be cool as well.

What a great read. Left me with an extremely positive impression. I'm a lover of Havik, and even though this is not confirmation by any means... it tells me our scent of the game's direction is probably closer than we think.

Havik would make a lot of sense, specilly if as many of us hope, Johnny takes the seidan route.
With Johnny as a seidan, we wouldn't even need "generic seido soldier" Hotaru to play Havik's counterpart.
Nothing against seido soldiers, I really like their design, I'm just saying that Hotaru didn't seem to be special compared with hundreds of generic soldiers (his alt was in fact a soldier and his main was the same without helmet). Maybe it's the point about orderealm, but if he comes back I'd hope a revamped moveset, maybe with simetry/mirror based powers like their city or something.

Honestly sounds to me like he is saying "MK4-A is not happening and you will love the new direction of the game."

Sigh more bleak answers. Tanya and Havik returning for MKX would be a dream but this does nothing to calm my worry . He literally said nothing. Big whoop.

Didn't a voice actress leak Tanya months ago on her resume?

Classic reassurance bullshit from corporate. I will be the judge of that.
To be honest this is shaping up to be the most exciting MK, but the basence of tidbits and the apparent seeming renouncement of the MKDA-D characters is not making me happy. I am mixed on this.

Supposedly, but it was IMDB. Anyone could edit that.

Laughed? Why?? What is this??? Where's Tanya??
Where is Tanya's render? and her gameplay trailer? Where's her boot in that boot picture? Where is Tanya's roster slot???
Why is Tanya not konfirmed, yet? What kind of trollage. Someone twitt Ed Boon about it. Ask where Tanya is.
I know Tanya escaped that messy Shao Kahn Arena flop Koliseum!!!

Dude... Chill...
Tanya might not even be in the game.
Crap, if the guy was being honest and not giving a generic response then this game will keep revealing awesome stuff, independent if A or B character is in.
Although I personally think either Havik or Tanya will differently be in.The individual MK9 endings may foreshadow a lot of stuff.

This is the same thought I had. I'm officially worried.
However, nothing is 100% confirmed so there is still a chance.
I feel like havik isn't happening. The way he reacted "surprised" at you naming Havik means that he was like wtf someone randomly named Havik of all people?!!
Tanya is hard to say. A laugh can mean anything.

I'm not a dude, I am very chill and zen, Tanya WILL be in MKX, how dare you.
Ed Boon himself said we'd see at least 1 MK4 karakter. Who else but Tanya? Fujin would be fantastic, but Tanya should be prioritized! HA!
Quan Chi DOESN'T COUNT, by the way. Ed Boon keeps bringing Quan Chi back all the dammn time, like a Scorpion or a Sub-Zero.

Dudess then. ;)
I too hope Tanya is in the game, along with Reiko. But neither of them has been confirmed.
