[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65475, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/mortal-kombat-1']Mortal Kombat 1[/URL] developer NetherRealm fully unveiled Ghostface overnight, showing off the DLC guest character’s signature hunting knife, crawling skills, and ability to phone in a fellow Ghostface partner to help finish off victims. But what the developers failed to reveal is which Mortal Kombat characters they’re quietly bringing back to the series via the Scream villain’s various versions that are available in-game. During a [URL='https://www.youtube.com/live/68xHLNtlfsw?feature=shared']Kombat Kast[/URL], NetherRealm confirmed there are actually three versions of Ghostface: the main Ghostface is the villain from the Scream films, as you’d expect, but the identities of the other two are secrets NetherRealm challenged players to work out for themselves. As reported by [URL='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2024/nov/13/nrs-mortal-kombats-hated-characters/']EventHubs[/URL], NetherRealm confirmed that the other two Ghostface versions are Black Dragon characters called, at least for now, The Enforcer and The Assassin.
