The guest characters make it a very Reddit list, like someone at NetherRealm Studios had their teenage son pick the non-MK characters. Like a music studio looking at TikTok trends and then aping them.

Ah well that makes sense, I didnāt even realise it was themed until you brought it up and I had a long thought about it.

The thing that surprised me the most is that two of these guests are from works created after 2000 and all of them only became really well known to the mainstream due to shows/cartoons created in the last few years.
A stark contrast to the previous guest whoāve been iconic and well known characters for decades, with Spawn and Kratos being the two odd ones out. Overall this are good news for people who like guest because it means characters from recent works also have a chance to gain a spot in the rooster.

I donāt like Guests in Mortal Kombat. Iād rather see Sektor, Kira & Kintaro

Out of these three Sektor is probably the only one that has realistic chance at being in the next game. Heās a classic character and people really want their Cyborg(s) back.
Kintaro has the problem that he has to compete with Goro and Sheeva for the Shokan spot on the roster.
Kira hasnāt a snowball chance in hell. Sheās a 3D era character and they are the developerās neglected stepchildren. Worse, sheās neither a fan favorite like Havik or Nitara nor a character everybody makes fun of like Hsu Hao. Sheās just mediocre. People remember the good and the bad ones, not the average ones.

Foghorn Leghorn DLC when?
But for real I guess the leak makes sense, most of the other DLCs have been themed pairs, and this one seems to be evil Superman-types.
It could very well be wrong or outdated by the time the game comes out, but damn if I wanna see evil Super JK Simmons beat people up. I wonder if theyād make him 3Dā¦

I mean, he is a character the Warner Brothers own.

You canāt just ask for Sektor without my man Cyrax! Itās a package deal, like Scorpion & Sub-Zero or Kitana & Mileena or peanut butter & jelly!

Not that I care about this game but Itās usually not a good sigh if youāre using a celebrity to promote it, but Iāll admit he does make me curious.

Wait, the next character for DBD is Nicolas Cage? Not a character played by him like Ghost Rider but Nicolas Cage himself, who ended up in the Entityās Realm? Not sure how I feel about thisā¦ Thatās something I would expect from a parody of the game.
To be fair David Hasselhoff played as the eponymous character in the Spongebob movie so itās not like weāre entering Looney Toons level of absurd.

Nah, DBD has a pretty large and dedicated fanbase. This is just one of their annual have a famous person/IP in the next chapter that they do every year.

Matthew Porretta (Alan Wake) recently featured on a podcast, where, at around 16-minutes, he mentions the game is āsupposed to release in Octoberā
And apparently, while the podcaster was approached by Remedy about this, they said it was now too late to edit it ā itās out there nowā¦
Soā¦ Alan Wake 2 probably set for October this year
