Mortal Kombat 9: Predator DLC not ruled out

Ok, it has not been confirmed that Preditor will be a DLC character in Mortal Kombat 9 but after the Freddy Krueger release speculation has been swirling around the internet as to whether or not any other non- Mortal Kombat 9 characters will make an appearance.

Fans @sidshuman and @noobde tweeted Mortal Kombat 9 co-creator Ed Boon to ask whether or not Alien/ Xenomorph would be too much of a stretch and Boon replied “I think Predator would be a closer match with MK”. Of course this tweet is not a confirmation that the Predator will definitely be a part of the possible line up for Mortal Kombat 9 but it has certainly whetted the appetite of fans who enjoyed playing the recent Alien Vs Predator game.

Although the idea of the Predator being a part of Mortal Kombat 9 is pretty cool, with all his special attacks and weapons that would fit nicely into the Mortal Kombat style, the rights to him may be tricky to negotiate. It would seem that the rights to a digital Preditor belong to Sega so there could be some wrangling required. It would also be pretty neat if some of the characters from past Mortal Kombat releases made a comeback as DLC’s with such a vast back catalog of great characters it might not be so necessary to look further a field. That said the Freddy Kreuger DLC looks pretty awesome. Watch this space!

    Please do this Ed. I’ve thought of this months ago. so happy someone asked him. His blood should actualy glow green…more green than reptile. His fatalities would be made for mk. Alien can’t because it wouldnt make sense. his blood would kill everyone. how could you murder it. like skarlet would die lol. Next should be Conan the barbarian or Jeepers Kreepers. Love mk9. keep the dlcs coming. lets kick marvel vs. capcom 3′s ass this fall Boon.

      I have been a faithful fan of MK since I ws a kiduntil now at the age of 24 and I love the new MK game and the DLC charachters and I agree predator would be a perfect fit in the M collection of DLC charachters.

  • kerry dawkins

    i think predator is good because the weapons he have but i think nariko form heavenly sword will be good also because the speed and kombat move ps duke

  • Ben

    I completely agree. Predator really MUST be there. Do it Mr. Boon, we want it. Also Jason, Michael Myers and Pin Head. Come on.

  • jason sanchez

    yeah i agree they should make predator and jason FOR SURE! even michel myers to and maybe justmaybe evil cole from infamous PLEASE! ED BOON IF YOUR READING THIS MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE!

  • 316

    It wont happen because Fox has teh rights.This is a Warner Bros. Game so jason is more likley because they have the rights to him.

  • Dennis

    Another great addition could be beatlejuice owned by wb if that work out he could be an epic expansion to the game

  • Jackson

    Jason Voorhees definently and Predator would be Uber badass i also think the texas chainsaww massacre would be GORY!! Mr. Boon you are badass!!

  • bailey

    if we want predator we should just keep posting on eds twitter and ask for predator

  • bailey

    if we want prdator we should post on his twitter account how we want him as anew DLC

  • Frank

    Here is the list that would kill.
    Terminator 800 (think of all the skins, Techno Noir, Terminator 1, Terminator 2)
    T-1000
    Van Damme
    Steven Seagal
    CHUCK NORRIS
    Arnold
    John McClain
    All these guys KICK ass, and would be great to fight in different arenas.
    Just imagine Scorpion VS. Chuck Norris on the tower of the first Die Hard, or on a subway train with a bomb.

  • al

    what about pennywise the clown? I already see a teleport

    • Frank

      Yeah he can rip off your arm in the rain gutter

  • ryan

    i still want shao kahn

  • bobbi

    I think predator is a good idea and jason they should also put goto kintaro as dlc

    • Miguel Siqueira

      hey!goro, kintaro and shao khan is playable, not as dlc, but, like a “mod”.

  • deric

    i also think jason would be an awsome idea i mean come on they put freddy as a DLC but not jason what’s up with that???

  • Dekoda

    Ok why would you even consider adding another non MK character when you have so many characters that are still out there that could and should be added. I mean I understand it’s supposed to be a rebirth but come on you already made the big change with taking out cyber smoke and adding cyber sub-zero which is ok but cyber smoke is still one of the ORIGINAL characters. Sector, Cyrax, and Smoke where all originally based off of predator everyone knows that. I mean if you dont your are definitely not MK fans, Their style, moves, accessories, look I mean really. And the entire freddy and jason horror thing that is not MK they would not last in a movie fight or anything else there just not in the same class. If your going to be non MK characters try to get the rights and bring in characters from Killer Instinct like Glacius, Cinder, Orchid, or Jago and if you really want another robot besides cyber smoke get Fulgore. Come on Ed stop throwing this incredible game down the drain there are so many other characters than freddy or the ones in consideration. Killer Instinct was just as good as mortal kombat and the characters were awesome bring them if anyone but if not KEEP IT ORIGINAL.
    Thank You,
    Dekoda

    mr ED adding predator would indeed be an awesome idea since the predator perfectly fits in this blood thirsty game MK. Predators blood should glow Green aswell with good fatalities, please ED if your reading this add predator! we all love predator dont we folks,, also adding Termintor the T-800 series would also be good, as u attack the terminator his skin falls off revealing the metal endo-skeleton that would be awesome with bone crushing fatalities…Thank you

    The Predator race has, by story line, been a large part of human growth and development. Earth is thier hunting ground. They have to enter the tournement to keep their claim and stop Shao Kahn.
