Looking for all confirmed characters in Mortal Kombat 1? Fighting games are defined by their character rosters, and the latest violent brawler from NetherRealm Studios is no different. This edition of the long-running Mortal Kombat series is unique due to its introduction of Kameos, which we've also included below. On this page, as part of our Mortal Kombat 1 guide, we're going to list all confirmed characters.

I still can't believe Shang Tsung is a pre-order. He's my main in some past games.
Thats one terrible roster if this is it not even Sonja Blade...
It would be so much better if Kameo characters were restricted to being sideline characters. If it were a "pick 2 characters" system, that would be so much better
@JohntheRaptor Atleast he's a preorder bonus. MK11 he was part of a Kombat pack.
@Flaming_Kaiser They have all of my favorite characters confirmed accept for sindel. I hope she's not a kameo.
@Flaming_Kaiser
theres still quite a few more spaces left
Having to wait until KP2, if that, to play Jade is some serious hogwash
@TheEnygma I'm pretty sure I saw her in one of the previous videos... I'd be surprised if she wasn't included?
I am just playing the game with the server down, so most of the stuff I unlocked including Shang Tsung is not available (damn always online games). I just decided to have a go at one of the towers while I can't do much else, and it had Quan Chi as a Kameo character for either Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn (General Shao), I forget which. Interesting that he is in the Kombat pack as playable, but not listed as Kameo, but here he is already.
I would have loved Kratos to return to a fighting game. Jin Sakai, Sweet Tooth & Commander Radec would have been cool PS5 only characters
