Kitana has been a staple for the Mortal Kombat series. She’s the Princess of Outworld and step-daughter to Shao Kahn. She’s been instrumental in switching sides and helping the defenders of Earthrealm save what’s left of humanity time and time again.
Since she’s been such an important part of the MK universe, it only makes sense that she would show up once again in Mortal Kombat 11. We’ve seen glimpses of her in trailer reveals for other characters.
Although Kitana has yet to get her own trailer reveal, she did receive a TV spot promoting Mortal Kombat 11. The video features real people morphing into other people, essentially demonstrating the wide demographic that has played the Mortal Kombat games over the years.
We see glimpses of lighting and ice, probably referring to Sub Zero and Raiden. The final transformation leads to a beautiful young woman, who graciously pulls up a set of fan blades. Of course, she’s representing Kitana. Her blades are spot on from what we’ve seen in the video games.
She squares off with the iconic Scorpion, whose eyes turn from clear to foggy gray in seconds. It’s clear these two warriors are about to battle it out in Mortal Kombat fashion. The TV spot ends with the two meeting in the center about to throw blows.
So, what can we take from this unprecedented sequence? Well, we know officially that Kitana will be on the roster. She’s also one of the only characters to get this illustrious TV spot. It could mean that Kitana is a major focus in MK 11.
We left off with her remnant version joining forces with Shao Kahn, alongside her friend Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat X. However, we do know that Mortal Kombat 11 will feature time travel, where younger versions of characters come face to face with older versions.
The younger version of Kitana, the one that never died, will probably come in contact with her evil self. They’ll probably go toe to toe, hopefully with the good version of Kitana prevailing and helping the defenders of Earthrealm once again.
Of course, these are just speculations. It is amazing to see Kitana get this high-profile ad for Mortal Kombat 11. It’s coming out in a couple of weeks. The release date is so close you can taste it. Let’s just hope Kitana gets an official trailer reveal and moves breakdown here pretty soon. Online players are certainly waiting in anticipation.
