AsMortal Kombat 11barrels toward its eventual release, more and more of its roster is becoming known. It was recently confirmed thatJade would appear on the rosterof the gory fighting game franchise’s latest installment, and now it seems as if Johnny Cage will be joining her as well.
It’s worth mentioning how many teases, roster leaks, and more have surrounded the latest fighting title. There was a major roster leak recently that suggested Erron Black and perhaps even Rain could be making appearances in the game, but perhaps most notable is the rumor that Stryker will appear in the latest installment voiced byWWE superstar John Cena.Only time will tell for theseMortal Kombatcharacters, but this recent Johnny Cage tease seemingly all but confirms his addition.
Creative director ofMortal Kombat 11Ed Boon recently shared an image that looks like Cage flipping off some competition, with the caption: “Who hired this guy….WTF?” Furthermore, this tease is accompanied by the hashtag #MortalKombat11, thereby suggesting Cage will return inMortal Kombat 11.With this particular brand of humor, it’s hardpressed to think of anyone else this could be.
This shouldn’t likely surprise anyone since Cage has appeared in almost everyMortal Kombatgame starting with the first. His return to theMortal Kombat 11roster will likely be well-received, considering the character matured quickly by the time ofMortal Kombat X, so it’ll be interesting to see where Johnny Cage goes next.
Hopefully, asMortal Kombat 11nears launch, we will continue to learn more about the roster, as many are still holding out for their personal favorites, but we know one requested character that will not appear in the game. Despite the popularity of the meme and the rapid growth of the petition, the developer did give out a solid confirmation thatShaggy will not appearin this gory fighting game.
Mortal Kombat 11is scheduled to release on Jul 03, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.
