NetherRealm’s Ed Boon has confirmed that Kung Lao (and his fashionably deadly hat) are headed to Mortal Kombat X. The title takes place later in the timeline, which puts this version of the Shaolin Monk in his sunset years.
Boon shared the image on Friday night via Twitter, stating that this was one of many images featured in the latest issue of UK magazine Gamesmaster. Kung Lao joins returning characters Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Goro, Quan Chi, Kano, and Raiden. New additions to the roster include Cassie Cage, Kotal Kahn, Ferra Torr, and D’Vorah.

PN Opinion: I've been playing Mortal Kombat since I was around 4 years old on the Super Nintendo. The series is without a doubt my favorite fighting game of all time. The return of Kung Lao put a smile on my lips but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't eagerly awaiting the return of Stryker, a dream that will likely be crushed considering his death in Mortal Kombat 9 (it should be noted that Kung Lao also died in Mortal Kombat 9. His return has not yet been explained) and his lack of popularity. I'm hopeful that we can get a following for the game within the community and have some good old fashion ladder tournaments later in the year!
