Here’s an announcement that nobody ever expected. NetherRealm Studios has revealed that Mortal Kombat’s mystery kombatant is none other than everyone’s favorite mass murderer, Freddy Krueger. This is so ridiculous that it’s actually kind of awesome!
Unfortunately, this version of Freddy seems to be based on his recent appearance from the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. It’s a bit of a shame since Robert Englund’s portrayal of the character is so iconic. Regardless, Freddy looks to be quite the opponent.
There’s something oddly appropriate about seeing Kabal and Freddy standing next to each other. Although, I must say, it doesn’t make sense why they showed Scorpion being burnt to death.
Who do you think would win in a fight, Kratos or Freddy Krueger? On August 9th, you’ll be able to decide for yourself.

Personally I wish devs would stop bringing in characters/skins from unrelated worlds/games, unless the game was originally developed as such, so you knew what you were getting at time of purchase. Luckily I remain unscathed this time, as I don’t own M.K.. Hopefully i’m alone in this instance & all owners won’t mind it. *DLC character appearance & actions have been done well all the same.*

Surely by adding this as DLC it’s up to the consumer to choose? So you know what you’re getting at the time of purchase.

Agreed. If it is DLC, who cares. I will vote with my wallet if I don’t like a company’s move. I actually think this one is a great idea. As a big horror fan, I would love to have a game where I could pit Michael Myers vs. Jason Vorhees or Leatherface vs. Pinhead. I hope they incorporate more horror icons in the future.

Wow, when I was playing MK online someone kept posting that Freddy would be the next DLC guy repeatedly a few weeks ago. Thought it would be cool but wouldn’t happen…now I wonder what that guy is thinking right now haha.

Lmao this is quite cool! I’m really not a fan of these films, but it’s still quite an interesting character to include in the game.
As for Kratos vs Krueger? Well, Krueger kills bad actors, Kratos takes down Gods. I know who my money is on :)
