There’s a strong chance Mortal Kombat 1’s pretty cool Kameos system could lead to some crazy crossovers in the future. For those of you who haven’t been following the fighter, the system allows you to tag in a teammate to help during combat, with the allies also aiding during Fatalities and some devastating special moves.
And while a bunch of Kameos have already been confirmed as part of All Mortal Kombat 1 Characters, the potential for even more additions is enormous. According to some marketing materials coming out of Brazil, developer NetherRealm Studios is eager to build on the number of Kameos available post-release – and is even allegedly lining up some guest characters.
While the translated wording is a little vague, it’s easy to see how clever use of Kameos could be used to expand the lifecycle of the game. Clearly, less development resources will need to be committed to include these characters, and so there’s a lot of potential for the addition of guests, both across parent company Warner Bros’ intellectual property – and even beyond.
We’d love to see some PlayStation exclusive characters make the cut here – and it wouldn’t be the first time, as Kratos was a fully playable character in Mortal Kombat 9 already, for example. Are there any Kameos you think would make realistic inclusions? Finish the fight in the comments section below and let us know.

I hope they never add Nintendo characters to this game. Do you have any idea how insanely overpowered Kirby would be?
So this is the new AstroBot trademark filed by Sony?
I'd like it if they brought Kratos back- I really enjoyed playing as him! Preferably the original, over the new... Heihachi would be a good one, now he's no longer in Tekken; uppercut an enemy and have him come in with a flying kick.
I think i’d take Injustice 3 instead of those characters being added to MK1.
Yeah, more guests... It is not that MK has its own 30 years of lore and its own iconic characters...
I'd be surprised if the didn't use any of their war gods or Bio freaks characters. Those IP have been gathering dust for a while.
First comment on here I think but the writer is a stronger person than I am for being able to resist "Krazy PS5 krossovers"
@HotGoomba I have to admit, I loved Link in Soul Calibur
I swear NetherRealm gets more use out of the letter “K” than the entire Russian writing script.
Boon has been asking people what guest characters they'd like to see, so anything is possible, but I will eat my dualsense if they ever go back to platform exclusive characters like they did with MK9.
@belmont Yeah but guest characters print money.
@GeneJacket Kratos for PS5, Marcus Fenix for Xbox/PC and Kirby for Switch.
@DennisReynolds Haha Nin would never allow their family characters in MK best you could hope for is probably a character from mad world. If they did I hope the Kameo is also in black and white.
They may as well add Dave Bautista somehow so he can atleast have more of a MK connection then the commercial from two days ago.
