I honestly couldn't see them not bringing back Raiden. I could be wrong of course, but Raiden, the thunder god missing in the story to guide Earthrealm? Maybe not a playable character but idk about missing from the game regardless.

Remember Kai, guys? He first debuted in MK4, so he may be in.

This has been on my mind for a minute but I'm starting to believe it may be a new character altogether.

You're right. The only characters I can think of that stands watch for anything for all eternity are:

Raiden has returned!!!!!! Welcome back Raiden! I knew it! #Hype! #MKX!

well looks like Raiden got the style i wanted for Smoke the "displacement" i dont like Raiden and since they probably wont do duplicates i guess there goes another chunk of hype gone for me. so far not much besides disappointment on my end

I like that they are really diversifying the characters moves this time around. #WHOSNEXT

 

[J.D.E.]

Yeah same. It gives everybody a chance to use a playstyle that they're accustomed to with their characters.

Raiden wasn't a character they should have revealed at Evo since everyone knew he was coming back. Least exciting reveal ever. He was one of three characters that survived MK9 and they take the story seriously at NRS. I would've liked to see a new character altogether or a returning character that people had forgotten about like Reiko or someone else from MK4.

Still not digging the "You'll only get 1/3 of your moveset at any given time" principle. Not one bit.

 

[J.D.E.]

I'm glad to see him back & hyped about it, but I agree. They should have just put him in the game already & revealed someone else.

 

[RhythmikDesigns]

Displacement Raiden looked really good to me.

 

[J.D.E.]

I think they'll reveal another character within the next 2 to 4 weeks. The question is will it be another fan favorite or a new one.

Same.

Especially since its not innovative or anything, just lazy padding, and is going to cause issues with characters movesets crossing over with each other, unless they really are trying to keep the roster to a minimum.

This is like....the polar opposite of shotoclone syndrome. Instead of one move set shared by three characters, its three move sets clumped into one.

Basically all I see it as is now "three raidens, that should have been raiden and two other characters". There's literally No reason to have three of each character.
