Rain is a very popular character, enough to become a DLC in MK 9. He was present in the comic, even though his role isn't very important (who knows he does something else in the next chapers), but simply being present boosts his chances of being in the game already. And now he even got a new costume. I don't think Netherrealm would give him so much attention now just for him to make short cameos in MKX, like Motaro in MK 9.

I know he's appeared for a very short time, but that only proves that he must have a minor role in the storymode, wether as an actual playable character or simply a cameo. Well, it's not like that pushing Kotal Kahn off a building is a minor role. Plus, there are characters that didn't even appear in the trailer (Kung Lao and Quan Chi for example), but this doesn't prove that they won't be playable, so appearing in the trailer doesn't always prove something.
