Mortal Kombat 1 Ermac Leak

This datamine comes from Shaar on Twitter and is backed up by Interloko both of whom cover the Mortal Kombat franchise consistently. The leak points to a new skin that’s been found in the game files. It’s important to note that Shaar says this skin is for an NPC version of Ermac, so they were unable to get too much more information from the files.

That said, this could point to Ermac launching with a secondary skin. If true, that would be welcome news for Mortal Kombat 1 fans because the previous two DLC characters (Omni-Man and Quan Chi) launched without any extra outfits. If Ermac is getting day-one skins, it’s highly likely that we’ll soon see more added for the rest of the DLC roster. Of course, it could be a one-off thing with Ermac because of the fan reaction, but it would be odd to only give Ermac a second skin. It’s also possible that Ermac’s gear slot could be his hood, which would mean this isn’t a full new skin, but instead a variant like the other characters have received.

Either way, we probably won’t have to wait too much longer to see exactly what NetherRealm is cooking with the Ermac release. While we haven’t gotten a release date announcement, NetherRealm did drop Quan Chi in mid-December. That means we’re probably looking at the next character coming to Mortal Kombat 1 around February, though things could change. Hopefully, we’ll start to hear more from NetherRealm in the next few weeks.
