In January's issue (#41) the telekinetic warrior in red, <b>Ermac</b>, will also be featured and unveiled for the first time. The issue should be showing up on newsstands this week, so let us know once you find it. We've heard this issue features Kratos on the cover so should be quite easy to find.

Thanks to <a href="http://mk5.org/n1314">Mortal Kombat Online</a> and their forum member <b>Jest0311</b> for the heads up!

<b>UPDATE</b>: The official <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/12/17/mortal-kombat-kicks-off-ptoms-list-of-biggest-games-of-2011/">Playstation.Blog</a> has been updated with the cover shot of <b>Kratos</b> and <b>Scorpion</b>.

January: Ermac.
The game is for april, and is only 3-4 months left, Netherealm need to show all the characters more quickly, at least 1 per week.
 
Yeah, it's stupid to show Kratos off so much when there are other characters to be seen who are actual MK characters.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Ermac. Sorta. If it's the whole mummy look I'll probably just go "meh..."

No they don't. I'd prefer they leave a few (5-6) for reveal on launch day. I'm betting even then somebody will get the game early and spoil the surprise.
 
Yea, is better on that way.
And other thing, i hope not see all characters at the very begining roster, i like unlock the characters.
 
To add this update, there is a video interview by destructoid with Ed asked question about Goro and stated "he hasn't been confirmed yet" and then provides his spill about big characters being in the game. He also goes on to talk about other projects that are in the works and media items that are in the talks at the moment.

I don't know about you guys, but I was hoping to see Ermac back to his original ninja outfit like in umk3
 
just read the issue

they said ermac's fatality he will lift you with telekinesis (spell?) and do awful awful things to you, just awful

they also said jax "punts" head like a field goal kicker and pounds enemies into the ground

they also confirmed krato's stage to have a stage fatality

Really!?!? Damnit! Why can they not think of a better Fatality all these years later? Another pound into the ground Fatality? Really?? :( Let's see... who has had a Fatality where someone gets hit into the ground now?

MK3 - Sheeva
MKT (N64) - Shao Kahn
MKD (GCN) - Shao Kahn
MK vs DCU - Superman

And every single one of those Fatalities have sucked! Weak sauce NetherRealm... weak sauce :(

As Shao Kahn would say "Is that your best?"
