Mortal Kombat 1 has just introduced Ermac as its latest DLC character, but rumors suggest that there may be more surprises in store for players.
A potential leak online has hinted at a new gender-swapped version of a classic ninja being added to the game. Professional model and fashion designer Jiwon Ra recently posted on Instagram claiming to have provided the face model capture for Harumi Hasashi in Mortal Kombat 1. The post also hinted at her being a female version of Scorpion, although it’s uncertain if she will be a playable character or a Kameo, as indicated by the hashtag #Kameo.
If true, this could mean a new Scorpion Kameo is on the way in MK1’s Kombat Pack 2. This move wouldn’t be unprecedented, as Kombat Pack 1 already featured Janet Cage as an alternate timeline gender-swap of Johnny Cage.
The potential addition of Harumi Scorpion raises questions about how her moves and appearance will differ from the original Scorpion. However, it’s important to approach this news with caution, as no official confirmation has been made by NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. at this time.
Jiwon Ra’s Instagram post, where she responds to fan comments, suggests a level of confidence about her involvement in the game. Nonetheless, fans may have to wait a few months for an official announcement, possibly around the time of Final Kombat in June or later in the Summer.
Overall, this leak has stirred excitement among Mortal Kombat fans, hinting at potential new content and characters on the horizon for the popular fighting game.
