Mortal Kombat 11game director Ed Boon has been posting some cryptic tweets recently, with some fans thinking that he is teasing a new DLC character for the popular fighting game. Boon has a long history oftrollingMortal Kombatfansonline, though, and so it’s possible that he’s just having fun with his audience. However, some fans think they’ve deciphered Boon’s tweets and figured out the identity of the DLC character he is teasing.
So far,Ed Boonhas posted three separate clues to Twitter that are supposed to be teasing something, and fans like Tubby_Dingus think they’ve figured it out. The first clue Boon tweeted out was “Look up to the sky and see,” whereas the second clue included the year “1984.” The third clue, tweeted on September 24, said “Seriously #6.” Some have come to the conclusion that “Look up to the sky and see” is a reference to rain, whereas the second and third clues are references toPurple Rain, Prince’s sixth album, which released in 1984.

The conclusion, then, that some fans have reached is that the nextMortal Kombat 11DLC character is none other than Rain. This would make sense, especially since Rain is known for his purple attire and was originally named for the Prince song. But again, we must stress that this could just be Boon teasingMortal Kombat 11fans and there are no real concrete plans to add Rain to the game.
IfMortal Kombat 11is adding Rain as DLC, it seems to contradict one of the big recentMK11leaks that was seemingly corroborated by datamining efforts. For the uninitiated,Mortal Kombat 11dataminers have foundvoice files for the actors from theMortal Kombat1995 movie, which matched up with a previous leak that said the movie versions of the characters would be coming to the game, alongside six new DLC fighters.
The DLC fighters in that leak were said to be Michael Myers fromHalloween,Mileena, Harley Quinn, Sektor, Smoke, and Takeda. So if fans have indeed accurately deciphered Boon’s clues and Rain is coming toMortal Kombat 11as DLC, it potentially disproves the previous leak that named these characters.
Whatever the case may be, here’s hoping Boon has some more concrete information to share sooner rather than later. Until any official announcements are made, though, allMortal Kombat 11fans can do is speculate about potentialMK11DLC charactersthat may come to the popular fighting game in the future.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
