Alongside the confirmation of which characters will appear in Mortal Kombat 1’s first DLC, three more playable characters have been confirmed.
Long-time characters Baraka, Tanya, and Li Mei are all returning to the main roster of the reboot. Whilst Baraka was playable in the most recent game in the series, Mortal Kombat 11, Tanya last appeared as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 10 as DLC. Li Mei, despite appearing as a NPC in Mortal Kombat 10, hasn’t been playable since 2006’s Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has discussed some of the differences in these characters’ stories in this rebooted universe. Baraka and Mileena’s teeth are not because they’re a part of the Tarkatan race, Boon stated in an interview with IGN, but due to a disease called Tarkat. Li Mei is now a constable of the Outworld, Boon revealed in an interview with GameSpot, and is responsible for the protection of Mileena, princess and heir to the throne.
