One question that manyMortal Kombat 1players often ask is if the game has a 24th character to unlock. As always, we’re here to answer the question.

Between thelaunch-day rosterand the confirmed wave ofDLCcharacters heading to thegamein the future, Mortal Kombat 1 has a copious amount of highly skilled fighters for you to use. It’s a mixture of returning faces from previous MK games, as well as some special guest appearances.

However, on the game’s character selection screen, with an unlockedShang TsungandHavik, this gives players 23 fighters. There is a single icon that is blanked out. Understandably, the player base assumes this is a 24th fighter to unlock. So let’s clarify this for you right now.

Is there a 24th character to unlock in Mortal Kombat 1?

Is there a 24th character to unlock in Mortal Kombat 1?

The answer is no, there is not a 24th playable base roster character in Mortal Kombat 1.

Again, it’s a perfectly natural conclusion to jump to. In the context of the roster, it seems odd to have a blank space that should be otherwise reserved for another fighter.

The blank space has a silhouette with a plus sign over it which has reason to incite speculation among fans.
