Mortal Kombat 11 is not out until next week, but some lucky street fighters have already got their fists on the sequel. Naturally, this means that publisher Warner Bros is currently fighting fires trying to keep a lid on leaks – but it’s not having much success. In fact, a hacked version of the Nintendo Switch edition means that the entire DLC roster may have already been revealed.
According to data miners, there are nine potential kombatants waiting to join the fray: the Joker, Nightwolf, Terminator, Sindel, Spawn, Ash Williams, Fujin, and Sheeva. There’s also a reference to Shang Tsung in the files, but he's already been officially announced.
It’s perhaps worth noting that just because the data is in the game, these characters may not end up in the official release. If this is the lineup, though – and it’s been verified and corroborated multiple times throughout the day – then NetherRealm’s marketing schedule may just have been eviscerated. As an aside, there are some concerns about the structure of the release itself – we’ll have a review soon.

If this is true!? People are gonna flip! Ash, Terminator, Nightwolf all have their fans. And going by the endless Spawn DLC requests for Injustice 2, this will be rather popular indeed!
Yeah it's a really good lineup if it turns out to be real.
Joker? Must be to hype up the upcoming Joker movie. Would be interested on how he would play in MK.
It seems that Stryker is still on his vacation.
What, no Shaggy???
Yeah that list seems believable.
@SoulsBourne128 I want to see how he interacts with others. I'm guessing DC has relaxed a little since the MK vs DC days when they forced them to tone the violence down.
That's not all that's leaked. The entire MK 11 story is now being posted all over youtube. I feel really bad for Nether Realm they haven't been able to catch a break.
That's not a bad roster.
Don't know how DC allowed NetherRealm to put the Joker in MK11 when they were so opposed to the usual violence that was absent from MK vs DC all those years ago.
@Deadlyblack It's probably a deal they have since Netherrealm does Injustice as well.
@nessisonett Ed Boon already said no to that.
... Terminator, Ash and Sindel are pretty cool...
Where's Mileena though?! I need my sai crazy rolly ball MAIN lady! Fangs for nuthin' Netherrealm
Ash!!!!! Omg yes!! And sheeva!! Omg YES! Terminator! Coool!
That's what you get for making the DLC before the game launches and simply cutting it out to sell separately.
On a side note, how is it that the people who always seem to get these early are the same people who have the ability to data mine them 🤔
Ash Williams...so glad I got the Premium Edition. =D If they get Mr. Campbell for a voiceover that'll be epic.
@nessisonett Subzero froze him and ripped off his head. 😁
God this meme is so stupid.
Its a pity they didnt put the MK characters in the game. If that would be the case if would not even need the seasonpass. 😁
I'd love to see what they do with Spawn!
I wonder if you can perform each fatality on The Joker and if he has his own gory Fatality. Might not be the case since it's a DC character. And please let "The Terminator" be the T-800 with Arnold's likness. And isn't it great that Shang Tsung will be voiced and look like Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa! (The actor who played Shang Tsung in the movies!)
@Orpheus79V likely because when MKvsDC came out Warner Bros. had yet to buy Midway games so they had no direct control over development which led to a blanket game wide ban of gore to make life easier for themselves.
@Tasuki no deal required, Warner Bros owns both DC and NetherRealm Studios and it's likely that is the reason the Joker would be allowed in a full on for and violence MK game, along with the fact that The Joker is a villain so it's ok to see him get torn to shreds but in MK Vs DC they would have been a lot less willing to let Sub-Zero tear out Superman's spine.
@ThaBEN it’s like people haven’t played injustice 1 or 2
I'll be back...when they announce Shaggy DLC
@Flaming_Kaiser ZOINKSSSS
@SoulsBourne128 well they make both MK and the Injustice games - Injustice 2 had Raiden and Sub-zero so it was a given there'd be a DC character or two
The Joker is the one that'll fit well into MK (maybe Lobo as well) from the DC roster, would be neat seeing Ash in there
Ash just going to be a reskin of Leatherface? Joker is an interesting shout, hope he looks better than Injustice 2's.
@jonny_aces yup, after soul caliber got Geralt, (lucky devils) I remember reading a few requests to have spawn back in the fray, but hearing that MK is gonna get Ash and Spawn, that could potentially swing my buying vote. And Terminator? Oh yes...
@RedMan33 joker was my favourite in MK vs DC, (he, bats and flash!) particularly for his fatality, which I'm glad shang tsung implemented in MK 9. With a less 'trendy' looking reskin, I'd be happy to pick up the clown Prince and see what he can do!
@nessisonett 😂👍 Still hate the meme. 😁
Regarding the Terminator I hope it's the actual endoskeleton as the fighter and not the human flesh one .
Personally I think this roster is really dumb. For one thing...way too many guest characters. With the the updated game engine, I love seeing the realistic take on classic characters, so it’ll be super disappointing to me if they decide to pull half of the DLC roster from outside the MK universe. Booooo!!!!
@Godlike_Virus I don't think Bruce would allow anyone else to voice the character, he hasn't yet at least. This would probably be the best DLC character they have done in any of the games if it's true. God i hope its true and they do Ash justice.
