I don't know Noob Saibot's chances but he is linked to Sub-Zero and that story about the brothers has not really been explored by the new games and he increases his chances, he has ties to Sareena and Quan Chi as well. Then we have the 3 ninjas that missed MK11 and will be back: Ermac, Reptile and Smoke. It was a voice and likeness one time thing. Shang is probably dealt with and though he might come back for MK12 (doubt they bring back more than 1 DLC and that will be Mileena, maybe Sindel too), they would still not convince Cary Tagawa to come back. They would never do something that extreme. They are making cartoons since the reboot, the story is shallow, Avengers level of jokes.

That would mean that Liu Kang has basically been a real idiot, so stupid that he got all his friends killed for nothing, for his arrogance and vanity, and they stay dead. Which kinda sucks, cause I really wanted Rain and Fujin to be back from among the DLC and I am sure they won't.Īnd if anyone thinks Shang Tsung's ending will be canon.think again. NRS now knows it was a mistake to leave her out. Mileena might though because the fanbase is soo vocal. Safe to say that Sindel, Nightwolf, Shang Tsung, Fujin, Sheeva, Rain will not make MK12 roster. But Rain and Skarlet from MK9 did not make MKX, Tanya, Bo'Rai Cho, Tremor and Triborg did not make MK11. Yes, sometimes they come back later on, but returning in the very next game was just one case: Kenshi DLC in MK9 and then in MKX. Next I have the ones who will not come back: the MK11 DLC characters. Same for women, I believe at least 1 from Jade and Tanya. If Jax doesn't make it, there are big chances for another character to represent a cathegory of people that want such a character, such as Kai or Geras. If the game is in the present they will definitely be in, but if it's in the past the kids will be missing. I am not sure about this, but their roster places are certain.Īs for Jax, if the game is set in the distant past, he could be missing.

But there is also the possibility that the game goes in the distant past, 1.000 years or so before and then they replace Kung Lao with the Great Kung Lao and Sonya and Johnny with their ancestors. Jax has a big chance to come back if the game is set in present time. In all games until now Jax and Kano have come back as well but for Kano I think it's time to retire him, he has been beaten and killed by Sonya in every game since the reboot (though we might see Kano's son or his ancestor). Returning always from previous game: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, Baraka, a shokan, Kotal, D'vorah, Erron Black.
