This post is going to be a little bit different than the last few, mainly because any MKX news will play second fiddle to speculation this time 'round.

Anyway, based on all the leaks and the tweets and the like, I believe I may have determined who has at least a high chance of being revealed, and it could be that all of these will be revealed seeings as Gamescom is a four day event. Anyways, time for my guesses at Who's Next? And also, why they are probably going to be revealed.

1: Kitana. She's one of the most hinted at characters on Ed's tweets, as she has had a total of four tweets referencing her on Ed's twitter (most being responses to him) as I've highlighted at my previous discussion: Who's Next?

2: Kano. Despite being my least favorite character in MK9, I have to admit that Kano coming back to MKX would be really interesting. And it seems that it's almost a given as this page from a German magazine shows.

3: Cyrax and Sektor. A single tweet as far as I know hinted at these guys, but it is still worth mentioning.

4: Ermac. This concept 'fan art' is one of the oldest hints about MKX so far, apparently teasing Ermac. Let's hope he comes back to MKX with this design.

5: Someone relating to Cassie Cage. This is a bit of a two-parter because of these related tweets by Ed Boon tied to Commando. Now, I have a couple hypotheses about what these could hint at. 1: Johnny Cage. As Cage is an action star, like Arnold, it seems that this could be a sneaky way of teasing Cassie's dad. Another, more superficial link is in the hairstyles of the two characters. I'd be more certain of Cage if Bloodsport was referenced, but I'll take this as an example anyway. A second possibility could be a partner for Cassie Cage, similar to the Jax/Sonya dynamic in MK9. As this would mean a brand new character, this would be a very interesting thing to pull off and something I'd totally like to see at Gamescom.

Side note: Looks like Ed's Commando tweets may have been taken too literally by some people. As such, I'll make a discussion later regarding that. Meantime, what do you think? Leave comments responding to this with your thoughts/opinions. As always, Thanks For Reading.
