Shawn Kittelsen was given permission by NRS to use any character from any MK game ever in his comics. He already said that he will be using characters like Liu Kang. That doesn't mean that those characters will be in the game.

Reiko and Fujin being illustrated in their MKA gear only goes to show that. They will not be part of the new game. I don't see how this confirms anything. The MKX comics are not just a random story, they are based or related to the game. So that does increase the chances of the characters to enter the game, also, I don't see how the costumes confirm anything, as in Injustice comics, the characters used the costumes from "our" universe, but the story was a prologue to the alternate universe in the game. Kittelsen probably doesn't even know how the characters' new costumes will look like, he may know only the story. How can you not see how this confirms anything? When the creator of the comics comes out a good while in advance to hype up his comics and tells people that he'll be using any character he feels like in his comics, that makes you think that everyone in it has high chances of being in the game? That makes no sense. The comic is its own thing and the game is another. Just because the story it tells is a prelude to some events in the game doesn't mean all the characters you see in it will be playable in the game, Macaulyn.

Example, I don't think we'll be seeing Hsu Hao in the game. How many people thought he'd be in the game when they saw that leaked comic book pic of him? It's a silly way to make a case for a character being in the game or not. I never said they were all going to appear, I made sure to say there is a chance. A much higher chance than the other ones. The fact that he will "use any character he feels like" (if that is actually true) doesn't mean that he will act reckless and add anyone, since the stories are connected and game and comics belong to the same timeline, its obvious that a character that appears in the comics has greater chance of appearing in the game.

He won't, Hsu Hao died in the comics. (thank goodness, it was a beautiful death, because the one dying was him) I see nothing will make you see reason, Macaulyn. But I do agree with you on the Hsu Hao death.
