Choosing the Sequel’s Featured Star

Sure, let’s dive right into it.

Alright, let’s talk Mortal Kombat covers. You know, the dragon logo with flames—that’s the typical gig, right? But 2011 shook things up. Suddenly, we got fighters hogging the limelight. It was like, whoa, what’s going on?

So, Scorpion’s been Mr. Popular on these covers. Three out of four times, folks! But then Liu Kang snuck in and stole the show on Mortal Kombat 1. Guess he became the big cheese, the god or whatever in this reboot. Seriously, who saw that coming?

Now, we might not get a new Mortal Kombat anytime soon, but when we do, predicting who’s gonna be on that cover is like playing roulette. Let’s speculate wildly, shall we?

Noob Saibot—The Bold Pick

Now, if you missed the whole Khaos Reigns thing, here’s the scoop: Bi-Han, our dear Noob Saibot, got caught and tortured. Bad magic stuff turned him all vengeful. He almost snuffed out Havik, the villain, but—plot twist!—Liu Kang had other plans. This guy’s seemingly set up to be the next big baddie. Cover material? Maybe!

Scorpion or Liu Kang—The Safe Bets

Okay, back to safe choices—Scorpion and Liu Kang. Scorpion’s, like, kind of the face of Mortal Kombat. Everybody knows him. Liu Kang? He’s been shining lately, so why not keep the vibe going?

Orin—The Oddball

Orin’s not your typical choice, but this dragon from Edenia did have a moment in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. She peeked out again in the latest expansion, so who knows? Maybe she’ll reemerge like some mythical phoenix—or dragon, rather!

Everyone—The Damage Control Tactic

Mortal Kombat 1 ruffled some feathers—missing favorites like Kano and Sonya. What if they go all out on the next one? Imagine a cover crammed with familiar faces. That’s one way to win back the crowd, right?

Anyway, that’s the shake-up. What’s next for Mortal Kombat? Only time will tell. Keep an eye out and cross your fingers for your fave fighter to make the cut!
