@MKRedemption I did think about this when I tried to calculate how many dialogues would the game have if it had only 30 characters. It could be so funny, specially for characters who once had a clone in the series, like Shinnok (assuming he's in MK X).

And I agree with you about revealing new characters. Why did NRS announce four new characters right when MK X news first came out, and then never again? I guess they only revealed D'Vorah, Ferra/Torr, Kotal Kahn and Cassie Cage by that time to see how would everyone react to the new characters and content in general. Now that NRS knows that most of the fans did like these new ones, they can be more comfortable about the rest of the new characters. And there's also the factor you mentioned: it's more cool to see them in the roster right when you buy the game and wonder "Who the hell are these guys?!".
