Mortal Kombat 11is nearing the end of its first Kombat Pack, with Joker releasing next month and then Spawn in March. Sometime after that, Kombat Pack 2 will release, reportedly containing Sheeva, Fujin, Ash Williams, and potentiallyStryker. While there are plenty of characters to choose from to fill out these DLC packs, there is simply too many characters to ever see all of them in the game.
As such, many will likely get cut to run with more fan-favorite or otherwise specificMortal Kombat 11characters. Who makes the cut or who doesn’t remains to be seen, but here are 5 characters we wouldn’t hold our breath for.

Mileena
Sadly, Mileena—a clone of Kitana complete with Tarkatan Blood and Edenian physiology—is likely the most popular character on this list who won’t be seen inMortal Kombat 11, despite heavy fan requests. That doesn’t stop directorEd Boon from trolling fans about Mileenathough, frequently making posts on Twitter and even teasing her with the Terminator DLC character. Including her would make sense as a reward for these trolls, but given her death inMortal Kombat X(despite the time-traveling mechanics ofMK11) and how often she is used to troll players with, we wouldn’t hold our breath.
Mokap
Perhaps the least likely character to ever join anotherMortal Kombatroster is Mokap, a motion capture actor/fighter with an extensive knowledge of martial arts. His gimmick is that he is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and despite being treated canonically in the past, he’s never been much more than a gag. He hasn’t been seen sinceMortal Kombat Armageddon, and considering how many consider him one of the worst characters inMortal Kombat’s history, it’s not likely he appears any time soon.
Meat
Although Meat has a few cameos inMortal Kombat 11, he’s too much of a gag character like Mokap to ever really be considered as a DLC character. It is worth mentioning, though, that Meat’s role as a canonical fighter or gag fighter was heavily debated for some time, before receiving an official backstory inMortal Kombat: Armageddonin that he was a horrific experiment byShang Tsungthat managed to escape. Like Mokap, he’s one of the least popular characters in the franchise and including him as a DLC character would surely do more harm to the fanbase than good.
Havik
Havik is the onlyMortal Kombatseries playable character to ever hail from Chaosrealm, and as such, many may actually welcome Havik into the fold with open arms. Beyond a cool origin story and design, he is neither good nor evil, just a Cleric of Chaos, yet while that may be the case, Havik also died in theMortal Kombat Xcomic series. As such, while it’s not impossible that he return, Havik finds himself in the same boat as Mileena when it comes to likelihood.
Blaze
Blaze was teased across several games before officially being revealed and named, and is one of the mostpowerful beings in theMortal Kombatuniverse, said to be able to cause Armageddon by devouring existence itself. Yet, despite this (or perhaps because of this), Blaze has no role in the current timeline. That makes introducing a being so powerful now anti-climactic. Of course,Mortal Kombat 11is the end of this timeline’s story, so forMortal Kombat 12and beyond, who knows what’s in the books.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
