Re: [SPOILER, RUMOR] Sub-Zero's identity in MKX is...
I also never said that Sub-Zero would be the only one let go of the group, i think Sindel Kitana Nightwolf Smoke Stryker and Kabal will all come back. (i don't think the roster we see is final i think there's 1 more row) The rest cameos.
There's no reason to bring back any of those dead characters under Quan Chi's control, especially Nightwolf, Sindel and Styker.
Reptile, Ermac, Fujin, Reiko and Tanya have much more of a chance of making it in over characters like Sindel, Stryker and Nightwolf.
They can all stay dead for a game or 2.
I'd rather have a new Sub-Zero than that lame story.
I could see all of the dead characters under Quan Chi's control being cameos, but not playable.
MKX has more new characters than any previous MK game (11+), per Ed Boon, and MKX already has 5 klassic characters confirmed to return.
Ed Boon specifically said that MKX would have "30-something characters" (close to MK9, being approximately 32) and 7 more would put MKX at around 39 to 40 characters.
The more likely scenario is 24 on the main roster + 6 to 8 DLC, giving us 30 - 32 characters (close to MK9, and being 30-something like Ed Boon said).
