Mortal Kombat 11 last creative director Ed Boon has confirmed that no DLC character definitely comes to him MK11, and one that players will never get. Over the years, Mortal Kombat fans have spammed Boon with character requests. For example, no matter what he tweets on Twitter, the responses push players to want characters. Before Mileena was added MK11 with the game Ultimate draft, many of these requests were for her. These days, you’re more likely to see requests for reptiles, Ermac, Smoke, and a variety of guest characters. If there’s a character who could reasonably be in the game, Boon seems to have been asked about it. In fact, Boon was even asked to put himself in the game.
According to the co-creator of the series, this is the weirdest character request he’s ever received, and this is one he doesn’t expect to fulfill now or ever. As Boon points out, he doesn’t want people to come up with different ways to cut his head off.
“I think it would be when they asked ‘Why don’t you put Ed Boon as a hero in the game?’ I never understood why they wanted that. It’s such a weird question. that, “Boon said when asked about the strangest character request he ever received. “And I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. I don’t want people to come up with ways to cut my head off.”
Speaking to FestiGame (via Event Hubs), Boon was asked if he would change his mind for the game’s 30th anniversary in 2022, and as you would expect, he told the interviewer not to banking on.
In fact, Boon is, in many ways, just as important to the franchise as any character, and Ed Boon is credibly recreated in Mortal Kombat it might be a big hit with fans, but Boon ‘s doubts make sense. Watching Jax break your spine with a crushing kick or Sub-Zero freezing your head may not be a pleasant experience.
Mortal Kombat 11 available through the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC. From the sounds of it, if it gets more DLC characters, Ed Boon won’t be in any of them.
