Rambo helps achieve our goal of getting that many ’80s action stars in Mortal Kombat

Ash Williams released?

Mileena, Rain, and John Rambo are the latest fighters to join Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate’s roster through Kombat Pack 2. Like the Terminator, Joker, Spawn, and RoboCop, Rambo is a guest character in Mortal Kombat.

Most of the guest characters in Mortal Kombat 11 are action stars from the 80s. After the release of RoboCop, Ed Boon commented on how NetherRealm Studios had a roster of characters from movies that debuted in the years. 80 and 90.

“Like I said, we literally have a list that we put people up and down on,” Boon said in an interview with Game Informer. “Obviously it’s not just about who do we want and then boom we get them. There are a ton of hoops that you have to go through to make these things happen. But if you’ve seen any. really huge 80s or 90s movie, it’s probably on our list! “

In a recent video uploaded by WIRED, Ed Boon said something interesting that implied that Rambo is destined to be the last guest character of the ’80s action star to make an appearance in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate.

“John Rambo is helping us achieve our goal of getting that many ’80s action stars in Mortal Kombat,” Boon noted. “We’ve had Terminator, RoboCop, and now John Rambo. So he’s really booked this roster of guest characters that we have.”

A few different possibilities can be deduced from Ed Boon’s words here. In the event that there are more DLC fighters planned for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, there won’t be any from an 80s movie.

It has been speculated that the Joker at one point took Ash Williams’ place on the roster. There have been so many signs suggesting Ash Williams’ future debut in Mortal Kombat 11.

If Ed Boon’s statement here is to be taken literally, that means we probably shouldn’t expect Ash Williams at this point. Maybe one day Ed Boon will comment on what happened with Ash Williams in a future interview.

Of course, that could also mean that the DLC for Mortal Kombat 11 is ending. In the event that there aren’t any more characters to add to this iteration, then Rambo would obviously be the last ’80s action star to join.

However, numerous rumors and fan speculation suggest that a third Kombat Pack may be in the works. Reptile, Smoke, and Ermac are fan favorites who have already been teased in Rain’s Fatality.

Maybe there will even be Kombat Packs without any guest characters. There are a lot of characters in Mortal Kombat history that could be portrayed in Mortal Kombat 11.

There was about a five month wait between the Aftermath announcement and the Ultimate announcement. As a result, we should expect a similar expectation in the event that there really is something more in development behind the scenes.
