The online publication mentioned that Kombat Pack 3 may introduce four more characters in the game's official roster. As seen in the first and second Kombat Pack, NetherRealm has released four additional playable characters pero DLC, Movie News Guide reported. This year, it is likely that Kombat Pack 3 will also have four new characters, namely Noob Saibot, Rain, Baraka, Sindel and Fujin. Each character has their own interesting background story.
