It appears thatMortal Kombat’s Cyrax might be joining theInjustice 2roster, if fan assumptions on NetherRealm’s latest tease is correct. Ed Boon, the creative director onInjustice 2, tweeted an image that seemingly shows a closeup of Cyrax from behind. Many fans came to this conclusion based on the yellow hue of the armor, along with the long, thin tube protruding from the back.
For those who don’t know, Cyrax is one of the palette-swapping cybernetic ninjas from theMortal Kombatseries; along with Sektor and Smoke. Cyrax is the yellow one that was introduced to the series, along with Sektor, inMortal Kombat 3. While there hasn’t been any official confirmation on the matter since the image was released, fans are confident it’s him. If he is unveiled as a playable character in the future, he will be joining another palette-swapping character from theMKseries, Sub-Zero, who wasreleased earlier this month.
The Cyrax teaser image follows just days after another one was posted on the game’s official Twitter, which showed off a newBizarro skinfor Superman. Keen-eyed fans may have already spotted Bizarro in the game before this, if they were paying close attention to the game’s most recent character trailer.
During San Diego Comic-Con 2017, a new trailer debuted thatunveiled Starfireas an upcoming character forInjustice 2.In the video, she is seen putting the beatdown on Superman in what looks like his Bizarro skin. Note the pale skin, tattered cape, and backwards S on his chest – its unmistakable.
The roster forInjustice 2continues to increase, and it shows no signs of slowing down. It’s good to see the game will see plenty of playtime long after its release. Until it’s confirmed or denied, fans can assume Cyrax is in development, but we won’t know what he will be like in-game until he gets a proper trailer.
Injustice 2is available now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
