Second classic, yep. She'll have 4 total including her 2 MK9 versions. Same goes for Jade.

It's going to be revealed in just a few minutes or so, but the 4th DLC character is Freddy Kreuger. I just wanted to say that before it was officially revealed so I could brag that I knew it.

Boo on it not being the Robert Englund Freddy. Then again, I can't say I'm shocked to see Jackie Earle Haley's Freddy is the one they went with.

Maybe they couldn't get the rights to use Englund's likeness.

I DO like that they did a variation on Depp's death in the first movie for a Fatality though. ^_^

EDIT: Though I do find it kinda amusing that he did it against Kabal...BURN VICTIM WARFARE!

They're gonna make a nearly frame for frame remake of Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge!

With or without all of the homosexual undertones?

You can't make Freddy's Revenge WITHOUT the homosexual undertones. Doesn't work.

Ha. I went to the site that was from and read the comments of people hating that Freddy is the next DLC. There is a serious lack of understanding of hardcore and casual fan service going on. Hardcore fans will buy the game anyway...and they probably already bought the season pass. Even if they didn't...being hardcore they're likely to not let it be incomplete even if they hate the addition. As a casual fan...I bought the season pass this morning figuring I might as well get the 3 other fighters too. Stuff like "I hope this flops" is really funny.

Their comments about him having 2 gloves being stupid are dead on though.

If a YouTube commentor is to be believed (which means that I'm taking this with a grain of salt) apparently this is Freddy's bio in the game:

A malevolent spirit of the Dream Realm, Freddy Krueger preys on the souls of the living as they sleep. When Shao Kahn began to steal Earthrealm's souls - souls Freddy considered his own - Freddy battled the emperor in the Dream Realm. But Shao Kahn's will was too strong. He pulled Freddy into the real world, where he was mortal, and defeated him. A badly injured yet determined Freddy fitted both his hands with demonically enhanced razor gloves. Once he has killed Shao Kahn he will find a way back to the Dream Realm, where he will torment Earthrealm's souls for eternity.

That would work well enough for me. Actually I don't really care I think the addition is neato.

Yeah, using Freddy is pretty kickass regardless. I am not fan of the remake, but for the purposes of a Mortal Kombat DLC, I am not bothered by it.

Doesn't look like full on remake Freddy, tbh. Kinda looks like a mix of both versions.

FYI Unmasked SubZero will be one of the Klassic skins that comes with the Freddy compatibility dlc. Hoping the second is either robo Smoke or maybe an earlier version of Kano.
