NetherRealm Studios' latest entry in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat 1, continues to expand its roster with post-launch content. Following the release of Kombat Pack 1, which introduced iconic characters such as Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Homelander, rumors are now swirling about potential characters for the upcoming Kombat Pack 3. Among these potential additions are the fan-favorite "Kombat Kids," Cassie Cage and Kung Jin. Background on the Rumored Characters The "Kombat Kids"—Cassie Cage, Kung Jin, and Jackie Briggs—first appeared in 2015's Mortal Kombat X. These younger fighters are the descendants and protégés of classic Mortal Kombat characters, taking on the mantle of protecting EarthRealm from looming threats. Cassie Cage, the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, and Kung Jin, a relative of Kung Lao, were central to the storyline in Mortal Kombat X and have since garnered a significant fanbase. Takeda Takahashi, another member of this group, has already been added to Mortal Kombat 1 as a DLC character. His inclusion has led to speculation that the remaining Kombat Kids may also join the roster, further enriching the game’s narrative and character dynamics. Details from the Leak The recent leak, though unconfirmed, suggests that Cassie Cage and Kung Jin could be included in future DLC, possibly as part of Kombat Pack 3. This information comes on the heels of announcements made at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, where NetherRealm Studios revealed new guest characters for Kombat Pack 2, including Noob Saibot, gender-swapped versions of Sektor and Cyrax, and iconic characters like Ghostface from Scream, the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Conan the Barbarian. If the leak is accurate, the introduction of Cassie Cage and Kung Jin raises questions about how their stories will fit into the rebooted timeline of Mortal Kombat 1. Takeda’s backstory, for example, was altered from being Kenshi Takahashi’s son to his cousin in the reboot, hinting that similar changes could be made to Cassie and Kung Jin's origins. Implications for the MK1 Timeline The rebooted Mortal Kombat 1 timeline has allowed NetherRealm Studios to reimagine the origins and relationships of many characters. If Cassie Cage and Kung Jin do join the roster, fans will be eager to see how their backstories and roles are adapted to fit the new narrative. This could involve significant changes to their relationships with established characters, as seen with Takeda. Final Thoughts While the leak is not an official confirmation, the possibility of Cassie Cage and Kung Jin joining Mortal Kombat 1 has certainly sparked excitement within the community. As NetherRealm Studios continues to support the game with new content, fans are hopeful that these beloved characters will make a return. Until an official announcement is made, the community will be eagerly awaiting any updates on what Kombat Pack 3 might bring. Stay tuned for more information on Mortal Kombat 1 and its upcoming content as details emerge. Also Read:
