In the long history ofMortal Kombatgames, there has perhaps been no greater fan outcry for an addition to the roster than that of Mileena inMortal Kombat 11. Since the game released in April of 2019, Director Ed Boon’s Twitter mentions have been filled with thousands of mentions demanding she be added to the game. And now that she is coming by way ofthe game’s Ultimate Edition and Kombat Pack 2, it seems that NetherRealm Studios is pulling out all the stops in order to generate excitement.
Like Rain and Rambo, the other characters coming in Kombat Pack 2,Mileena recently received a gameplay trailershowcasing her the violent stabs of her sai and grotesque bites from her Tarkatan-like jaw. However, Mileena has now received yet another trailer explaining who she is, and is narrated by the Ninja Mime himself, Johnny Cage.

The trailer begins with Johnny declaring that the “long wait is over,” a seeming reference to how longfans have been clamoring for Mileenato be included in theMortal Kombat 11fun. Throughout the trailer, players can see several of Mileena’s brutalities being performed on characters that have done her wrong in pastMortal Kombatgames like Kotal Kahn and D’Vorah. While this occurs, Cage narrates and catches players up on her fate fromMortal Kombat 10and how she managed to get to the current timeline.
Mileena’s fanbase within theMortal Kombatcommunity is a large one. Over the past several entries, the character has become somewhat of a staple in the classic fighting game franchise. And with fans like hip hop artistMeg Thee Stallion cosplaying Mileena, it seems that the character might be one of the most popular in the franchise’s history.
While many players are indeed excited for Mileena and the rest of Kombat Pack 2, it seems that NetherRealm Studios may not be entirely finished withMortal Kombat 11altogether. Recently, a seeming leak on the Brazilian PlayStation Store seemed to confirmed the existence ofan upcoming Kombat Pack 3. While nothing official has been confirmed at this time, the leaked store page priced the Kombat Pack at €24.99, and is being theorized to bring five more characters to the fighter.
This Kombat Pack 3 rumor seems to line up with a purported leak that occurred shortly beforeMortal Kombat 11 Ultimatewas announced. It seems that if this Kombat Pack 3 rumor turns out to be true, players can likely expectHarley Quinn, Smoke, Takeda, Michael Myers(Halloween, notAustin Powers), and Sektor as the other playable characters. It looks likeMortal Kombatfans may have a lot to look forward to over the coming months.
Mortal Kombat 11is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will release on November 17.
