Mortal Kombat X: 10 Legendary Characters Yet To Be Announced

It's just not a MK game without these guys.

It seems the Royal Rumble-style list of characters lining up to sprint their way towards MK X's April release date is being handled expertly by developers NetherRealm so far. A press release here, a live stream there - maybe an occasional glimpse of someone new in amongst a new trailer anywhere else - creator Ed Boon knows what the fans want, and is giving it to them on a whole variety of silver platters. Years ago after Deadly Alliance there were talks of major shakeups to the roster being implemented going forward, as understandably although MK harbours some of gaming's biggest icons, when you're trying to continuously do new things with characters initially designed with less pixels than a Minecraft character model, it's hard to update them accordingly. So, following an initially very strong fan backlash the team bided their time, and now with MK X there's a good mix of both - some characters share traits with the old thanks to being directly descended from them (like Cassie Cage to Johnny or Jacqueline Briggs to Jax) and others are entirely new creations like the two-in-one Noob Saibot-stylings of Ferra and Torr. All that being said though, it just wouldn't be Mortal Kombat without certain legendary fighters making an appearance, and even if they're in zombie form, it's high-time the following ten candidates made their MK X appearance.
