Highlights

NetherRealm Studios has been consistently revealing new information about Mortal Kombat 1, and the next character reveal is expected to happen soon.

The upcoming Kombat Kast, titled "Revenge of the Banished," is scheduled to air next week. This episode will primarily highlight characters Li Mei and Smoke, and there will also be a surprise fighter featured. Fans have been speculating whether Baraka could be the surprise fighter, although the use of the term "surprise" implies otherwise.

The upcoming character reveal for Mortal Kombat 1 is expected to occur soon, showcasing an unexpected fighter. NetherRealm Studios has been consistently providing fans with updates, including the Umgadi faction trailer at SDCC, the announcement of third-party guest DLC fighters, and insights into the game's new timeline. The momentum for character reveals continues, with the next "Kombat Kast" set to feature a surprise debut. Hosted by NetherRealm's senior staff members, including Ed Boon, the Kombat Kast offers a detailed look at the fighters in Mortal Kombat 1. The previous Kombat Kast in July highlighted Johnny Cage and Scorpion, featuring an exhibition match between them. Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming Kombat Kast.

One fan in the r/MortalKombat subreddit recently shared their observations about the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Kast. They provided a screenshot showing the YouTube stream titled "Kombat Kast 2 – Revenge of the Banished." The video description mentioned that the Kombat Kast would focus on Li Mei and Smoke, who are considered banished characters. Additionally, the description hinted at the inclusion of a surprise kombatant in the stream.

Another user, u/MistahJ17, also posted a similar screenshot from NetherRealm Studio's Twitch channel, which had a scheduled stream under the same name. However, upon checking the Twitch channel, it appears that the stream has been removed and is no longer promoting the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1-focused Kombat Kast.

Ed Boon himself took to Twitter to announce that a new Kombat Kast will be scheduled for the upcoming week. This revelation has sparked a wave of speculation among fans regarding the identity of the "surprise" Kombatant, who might be featured alongside Li Mei and Smoke. Many theories are suggesting that the iconic fighter Baraka could make an appearance, given his presence in the latest Mortal Kombat 1 trailer with the other Takartans. However, the element of surprise in this reveal casts doubt on such theories. Regardless, fans are advised to await further details about this upcoming live stream.

Mortal Kombat 1 is set to release on September 19 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
