New characters in Mortal Kombat X to be platform-independent

Mortal Kombat X.

In the past there have been numerous speculations about the upcoming game Mortal Kombat X and what all new characters will be added to the game. Most recent speculation suggested the return of the beloved characters Liu Kang and Kenshi to the upcoming game (check out more details here) . The makers may be interested in bringing back certain characters but they are certainly breaking conventions set in 2011 with the release of Mortal Kombat 2011.

Kratos appearance in Mortal Kombat 2011 was exclusive to PS3

Back in 2011, some Xbox 360 gamers were a little displeased that PS3 owners got Kratos in Mortal Kombat. Kratos is Sony owned so Xbox 360 gamers couldn’t get him, but NetherRealm Studios didn’t add in a Microsoft specific character. Xbox 360 owners got nothing special which made them feel left out. Mortal Kombat X executive producer Shaun Himmerick spoke to Hardcore Gamer. He said the game will have “no platform exclusive characters.” Goro is the only DLC character announced so far, but he will be available on all platforms of the game.

There exists the possibility that other special types of characters will be added to the game , all these characters will be platform independent. Thus it is for sure that they aim at not displeasing the console users since evidently some gamers were upset over the fact that Destiny for PlayStation platforms offered more content over Xbox platforms too. Thus we can conclude that irrespective of the platform on which you will be playing the game, you will get access to all the guest characters.
