Mortal Kombat's First DLC: All Those Pre-Order Costumes and Fatalities

All seven costumes and three fatalities will be bundled together into one purchasable download.

And now YOU get a klassic Ermac! And YOU get a klassic Ermac! And you? Yup, you get a klassic Ermac, too!

If you're anything like the men of Giant Bomb, collecting all those scattered pre-order bonus costumes for Mortal Kombat was, to you, a calling second to none. Jeff and Ryan, in particular, got into a particularly heated competition to try and earn my unused Scorpion code. Jeff frequently tried to entice me with promises of free shitty PSP RPGs that happened to be sitting on his desk. Ryan took me to a Go! Team show. I think we know who won out on that one--though to be truthful, I ended up keeping the code for myself. Ain't I a stinker?

All that bartering and begging ultimately was pointless in the end, as series honcho Ed Boon let it be known via his Twitter feed yesterday that the first DLC pack for MK would be a collec--erm, sorry, kollection of all seven klassic kostumes--for Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Jade, Mileena, and Kitana--and the accompanying klassic fatalities--for Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile--would be bundled together into a single DLC pack. No pricing or release date has been announced for the pack just yet, though a trailer for the DLC is expected to drop tomorrow.

Boon likes to tease his Twitter followers with questions about what charact--okay, fine, "kharacters" fans would like to see as future DLC. Blind fighter Kenshi and a new female character named Skarlet are still slated to be the first ones released--with Skarlet apparently coming first--but Boon promises many more waves of additional kontent down the road. So don't worry if you're holding out for an updated version of Rain to fill out the last remaining color of the ninja rainbow, or just really want to play as Meat for some reason. Your day may yet come.

How about to hell with all these exclusive Kostumes and other such bull shit, put it on the disk or not at all and come out with some actual Kontent.

I'm glad. I'm really a sucker for those costumes, but only in fighting games. I hope that MK gets better DLC support than MVC3 or SSF4 because those games only released custume packs (although to be fair the SSF4 DLC that's coming loooks pretty freaking sweet). While I am excited that it seems like they are going to be adding characters to the game, how many characters do you think would lead the game to feeling too flooded with characters? In my opinion getting to MVC2 levels would be pretty extreme. I think 5 is a pretty good number.

Pretty cool that they aren't going to make us wait too long. Now Sony needs to get the PSN store back up and running.

I just wonder what technical limitation is in the way of a classic Smoke costume?

Smoke has a klassic kostume. He wears it when you unlock his secret battle. If you watch the video closely, when Scorpion goes to do his toasty fatality, Sub-Zero flashes into Smoke.

Yeah... But it's not selectable by the player as far as I know... 
The thing I said about "technical limitations" was of cause also a joke... I don't ACTUALLY believe this wouldn't be feasible technically :-)
