While he was content to speak in riddles just a few days ago, NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon has once again taken to Twitter to discuss upcoming Mortal Kombat X character Tanya. This time around, however, his details are much more specific: Kombat Pack owners will be able to play as the returning fighter starting next Tuesday, June 2, one week before she’s made available for separate purchase.
The title’s last update gave us a brief look at the devastating finishers Tanya brings to the table as well as confirming she will utilize her kobujutsu weaponry from Deception and Armageddon in some fashion, perhaps as one of her three variations.
Tanya’s arrival will also bring three new costumes to the game, classic digs for Sonya Blade, Kano, and Liu Kang based off their appearances in the very first Mortal Kombat.
The second such post-launch roster addition, Tanya will eventually be followed by the Predator and Tremor to complete Mortal Kombat X’s season pass.

This year’s installment of Midwest Championships will feature a special Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 exhibition between The Black Eye’s Nicolas “Kane Blueriver” Gonzalez and Derrike “FullSchedule” Nunn of Team iG.
While these two players have yet to meet in tournament competition (to the best of my knowledge, at least), this first-to-ten set is sure to blow the roof off the tournament venue as Kane’s team of big bodies take on FullSchedule’s insane technical precision and unique arcade stick layout.
The exhibition will serve as the main event of PandaxGaming’s Ultra Fight Night festivities, and if previous showings are any indication, there’s sure to be even more craziness included in the lineup.
Midwest Championships 2015 is set to go down this weekend, May 29-30, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. More details can be found here.

Sony is currently in the process of investigating the ever-growing list of problems with Ultra Street Fighter IV on PlayStation 4 according to Gio Corsi, the company’s Director of Third Party Production and Developer Relations.
One honestly has to wonder how nearly-invisible Sonic Booms made it past even the most lenient of testing or why this version was pushed so hard as the new competitive standard but, hey, at least this ends radio silence on the part of the developers involved.
In addition the aforementioned Guile buff, new details from Display Lag show that the input lag on PlayStation 3 has only been compounded in this current-generation offering, the exact opposite of what was boasted as a selling point during pre-launch promotions.
Corsi promises an update “soon.”
