I'm referring to characters that have yet to be introduced in the new timeline, but have not been shown yet. Some of them I'm wondering if we'll even see. It's not even people clamoring for Smoke, Rain, Fujin, Sindel, etc. for DLC, though DLC will probably be more "who will sell" and less "we haven't done anything with xxxxx character yet so let's bring them in." We may see the likes of Ashrah, Nitara, Kira, Shujinko, Kobra, etc. but odds are, probably not. Kobra is dead, according to possible non-canon interactions, Nitara got a small mention in the comics, Shujinko had a minor comic role, but I never see people begging for them.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like Nitara to get reworked, and all characters can have potential if they bother to work with them, but DLC I don't think is going to be a "let's reintroduce this character!" route. Tremor being the exception, because I think Tremor was more of an exhausted, "FINE, here's Tremor!" and less of an introduction. Though I don't work at Netherrealm, so I don't really know. I do agree with Baraka being DLC out of the three non-playable fighters. As much as I like Rain, I doubt he'll be DLC this time around, since Boon said they don't wanna repeat, and I would rather have Sareena over Sindel.

About Nitara, they could give her a flying mechanic, kinda like Hawkgirl in Injustice. I think that would make good use of her wings. I'm not saying she should play exactly like Hawkgirl, I'm saying that they should give her flight mechanics. I feel that MK11 would be a good way to reintroduce the character.

It's also unclear if Kobra's truly dead. Unless he appears in the possible Season 2 of the comics and gets killed off, it's still up in the air. The only way I can see Kobra being reintoduced is if they made him look less (and I mean A LOT LESS) like Ken Masters.
