'Mortal Kombat X' DLC Pack 2: Havik, Drahmin as playable characters?

Ed Boon's Twitter

Although it has been already confirmed that there will be additional characters appearing in "Mortal Kombat X," developer NetherRealm Studios is keeping silent about who will be added to the roster. However, as the game developer has been known to provide teasers and leaks from time to time, fans are eagerly waiting for any details.

Rumors say two iconic characters are making their return to the franchise. The next character expansion may see the return of Drahmin and Havik as playable characters. Yibada based these speculations on a recent tweet by Ed Boon showing a picture of the two. However, as with other teasers and supposed "leaks" for the next DLC, Boon and his team neither confirmed nor deny the update.

It has been speculated previously that some of the characters that will make it to the next round of character DLC include other "Mortal Kombat" mainstays like Rain and Baraka. These two characters are thought to be playable in the next update as they already appear in the current title, although only as NPCs.

Rumors also say other previous "Mortal Kombat" characters will appear in the latest installment, like Smoke, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin, and Sindel.

Meanwhile, since the previous Kombat 1 Pack featured characters outside of the "Mortal Kombat" realm, other observers are saying that the next Kombat Pack may well feature other notable characters. According to Realty Today, since creator Todd McFarlane has already given his permission, his character Spawn may well appear as the next Kombatant in the fighting title. Other speculated characters include the xenomorph from the "Alien" series.

NetherRealm Studios still has to give out a specific release date for the upcoming DLC roll outs, although fans are expecting that the new batch of playable characters for "Mortal Kombat X" will appear in the early months of next year.
