Ed Boon Teases Potential Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo Fighters Including More Horror Icons

As a long-time Mortal Kombat enthusiast, having grown up watching the franchise evolve from its arcade roots to the epic saga it is today, I find myself utterly thrilled by Ed Boon’s recent teaser of potential new Kameo fighters for Mortal Kombat 1. The four suggestions he’s thrown out there are nothing short of intriguing!

Ed Boon, on X, inquired about who the fans would prefer to see as the next Kameo fighter in Mortal Kombat 1, among the four options he presented.

What Is A Kameo Fighter?

In Mortal Kombat 1, you select a main character and additionally a Kameo character. The Kameo is not directly controllable, but you can summon it to perform unique special attacks. These attacks provide an alternative method for creating combos and offer fresh strategies.

The New Kameos

In a post on X Ed Boon gave the community four suggestions, who might be coming to the game following the next year.

In the brainstorming session about MK1: YEAR 2 (Khaos Reigns) Kameo Fighters, some character names that got tossed around were:

The Four suggestions are:

  1. Blanche: an old lady that you can find in Mortal Kombat X. She is standing at the stage and can be thrown at the enemy.
  2. Kidd Thunder: A smaller meme version of the famous god of thunder Raiden
  3. Invincible: the hero from the Amazon Prime Cartoon “Invincible”
  4. Chucky: The famous Killer puppet from the movie “Child’s Play”

It seems that the Kameos are currently just an entertaining idea, but the future might hold surprises!

Currently, Invincible appears to be the undisputed leader in terms of popularity, and that makes perfect sense given that his father, Omni-Man, is one of the playable characters in this game. The legendary puppet is hot on his heels, but you never know, we might just end up with both! (First person: I’ve got to say, Invincible seems to be taking the lead right now, and that makes sense since his dad, Omni-Man, is playable in this game. The iconic puppet’s close behind, but who knows? We might just get lucky and have both!)
