In the later days of August, NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon shared a rather cryptic image that many associated with the company’s upcoming Mortal Kombat X. While details were scarce (I mean, it was just a lineup of various footwear), the picture sparked a ton of debate in the community over whether we were being treated to very limited looks at cast members that had yet to be revealed or just alternate outfits. Fortunately, the latest character announcement has provided some new insight on this matter.
As many of you are probably aware, it was revealed last week that Quan Chi will be bringing his otherworldly powers to Mortal Kombat X’s playable lineup. Few, however, took much notice of his shoes. According to an updated version of the previous teaser from the creative director himself, the Mortal Kombat 4 sorcerer’s boney boots occupied the very first square. This leads us to believe that each of the following images depict fighters that will be revealed as we near the game’s release date.
We’ve included the most recent image from Boon below, so feel free to check it out one more time and let us know who you think these shoes belong to.
Look's like one of the boots that were made for walkin' was Quan Chi's. #MKX pic.twitter.com/PDzbO2FKIB
