I checked on XBL and I'm curious too. As for PSN, it doesn't update until later in the evening, explaining why he isn't on there right now.

It's very rare for Microsoft to not put up content at its normal time, which I believe is around 5AM Pacific, but I'm not sure. We'll probably have to wait till tomorrow at the earliest, if not more, given that the release being missed probably means something is up.

Damn, I had a morning free from work and planned on Kenshi-ing up until I had to leave to work. 
just my luck.

To be honest I am not surprised he hasn't arrived on time, I suspect he had some issues finding his way.

he's a ninja, you're not supposed to see him coming

@Yanngc33: LOL!

Last time they introduced a new character the online wa s fucked for weeks. Im glad they are(hopefully) taking time with this one

Just play some Ermac to tide you over.

ZING!

Additionally, the MK page on Xbox.com isn't showing the correct info for me.  Like it doesn't show that I own the Kombat Pass, Klassic Skins, and  Compatibilty Pack 1.  And doesn't even show Skarlett at all.  So I'm going to guess Live is having some issues.

Where's Kenshi indeed! I want him now!!! People are telling me noon-evening time he will come...but we'll see...
 
Here some great concept art though:

Skarlet went up for me at around 4, so that's when I expect Kenshi. 

I'll be happy if it releases today and nothing get screwy because of it!

@radar5: DUDE I KNOW RIGHT

According to Ed Boon's Twitter:

RT @ericmcelrath@noobde when are u releasing kenshi Mr Boon Noobde: Very close, still today. Will keep u posted! He will be worth the wait

So he "should" still be released today.

I bring tidings of joy! Kenshi is out! At least the North American release is. Simply search in store and he'll pop up along with the new compatability pack. (Number 2 if you're keeping count.)

Edit: I can say for sure the PS3 US version is up, ain't sure about the 360 one.

We Europeans have to wait for an unspecified amount of time, probably tomorrow.

Aand here's his second fatality, I'll mark it spoiler for your experimental lot.

Back, Forwards, Down, Forward, Triangle (2)

Looks like they are fiddling a bit with XBL. Kenshi is still not there, but items in the store are moving around. Maybe there's hope it'll come out today?

Go on Ed Boon's twitter, it's hilarious. He's been responding to every person asking the dumbest questions.

Kenshi will be the only character I get. Hope he ends up being good.

xbox will have to wait until tomorrow. 
 
BUMMER

As stated by rafaelfc, Ed's twitter account says Kenshi will likely be out tomorrow for 360.

That sucks for xbox users :(

Kenshi's pretty cool, but I still like Skarlet better.

So far I've been playing him on the PSN and he is ridiculously awesome and easy to combo with.

The zoning powers of Ermac with easier combos to bust out...I Love him

He's out on the 360 now. Here's a link to the marketplace.

Wonder what was going on. Maybe Live just hiccuped?
