That is some really poor logic, just because Predator's in it doesn't mean Alien'll be a guest character. By that logic Zeus or someone from GoW should have appeared in MKX. I don't disagree with either statement. One one hand, the pattern, so far, would suggest that since Freddy was in MK9 and Jason's in MKX that because Predator is in MKX then Alien should be in MK11. Technically speaking, the pattern is GoW guest and horror movie guest in MK9. Then horror movie guest and AVP guest in MKX. Maybe it could be AVP guest and comic book guest in MK11. However, on the other hand, we shouldn't necessarily follow that logic. There's no evidence that they would use a Xenomorph in the next game or even in this game. Also, there's no real evidence other than some rumors that suggest that Spawn will be in this game or even the next one. I would love to see that happen but it could just as well not.

The problem as I see it I'm not sure you can keep going with the horror film franchise and everything. Putting Freddy Krueger in MK9 and Jason Vorhees in MKX is fine, but they're the best known. It's not like you can just take Michael Meyers from the Halloween franchise and put him in MK11, his style would be too much like Jason's and therefore would add nothing new.

Adding Predator in MKX I didn't think was too smart if they were trying to go for the scare factor. The first Alien film came out in 1979. After 36 years, I'm willing to bet virtually EVERYONE has seen the Alien Quadrilogy, the 3 Predator films, the 2 Alien vs. Predator films, as well as the 2012 Prometheus film.

That, along with the games like Alien: Isolation and Colonial Marines, makes it virtually impossible to make the Alien and Predator anything scary to the audience because we've already seen so much of them.
