Not just Shang Tsung. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung (the actor from the film).

He's also the host/guide for the Krypt.

Yeah, this should really be in the title.

Today has been fucking incredible for this game.

 

[Justified]

Must been awhile since he had some new souls.

Doesnt he get younger with the more souls he steals? I havent followed MK lore since UMK3

 

[adj_noun]

I look forward to the soul steal fatality.

I always dig those.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy shit they modeled him off the actor, amazing.

 

[InfiniDragon]

That's good, that's damn good.

Great way to bring him in.

 

[Lant_War]

I'm assuming the only way to get him is paying, right?

Still, movie Shang Tsung best Shang Tsung

 

[FullMetalTech]

I wondered why he looked familiar and figured Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was used for this.

WHOS' NEXT?

 

[data west]

force kotal khan and jaqcui onto you

make you pay for who you want, classic noobde

Yep you ain't getting anything free. Don't forget to pre-order to get the pre-order character

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I was really hoping for a younger version.

Remember, every character will have variations (and the game already plays with timelines). I would be shocked if they don't do Mortal Kombat film version (leather outfit, no facial hair, black hair).

 

[Deleted member 42]

The smartest thing Shang Tsung ever did is fuck off to his own island and not let Raiden ruin his life like everybody else

 

[AppleMIX]

Wrong thread.

 

[Kinsei]

It sucks that a character that's been around since MK1 is DLC (not to mention Shao Khan). On the other hand Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa Shang Tsung in a game is fucking amazing. That alone could get me to main him.

 

[Richter1887]

The one from the movie? Perfection.

FUUUUUUCK!

 

[Chivalry]

Give me all the MKmovie versions.

 

[Lyonaz]

I fully expect them to announce the Mortal Kombat movie theme song to be resurrected.

That's true. Just gotta wait and see.

 

[Caiusto]

Agree, why? I mean, it's Shang Tsung ffs.

 

[Deleted member 42]

Updated the thread title to note Cary's casting

 

[itspapagreg]

Edit: Beaten

A little odd that he would be a DLC character and not included

I might preorder this.

It's weird to look at Jacqui as being "forced" onto people when she's a popular and good character.

 

[Tiamat]

Fuuuck
Premium edition pre-ordered
I'm so weak

 

[MrNewVegas]

Where's the Robin Shou Liu? Or is Liu dead still?

 

[Billfisto]

This sets a good precedent.

GIVE ME LAMBERT RAIDEN.

Heck, give me Remar Raiden, too.

 

[LiK]

CANON

 

[Melkezadek]

Hope we get his youthful, black trenchcoat look too.

 

[Instant Vintage]

I already pre-ordered but this news EXCITES me.

Very much so.

 

[Lulu]

🧐

 

[zeioIIDX]

I'm definitely buying the game now. I kinda maybe wanted to before but the inclusion of THAT Shang Tsung actually pushed me over the edge, this is so fucking cool.

It's funny but I collect movie tickets of all the movies I've ever seen in theaters since age 8 and Mortal Kombat was the very first movie ticket I ever saved so it holds a special place in my heart lol.

 

[Unicorn]

Can't wait for all the intro dialogue. Did he voice the the character as well?

 

[Deleted member 1589]

Please get this song in MK11

For the Krypt announcement footage he did, I'm assuming he's voicing the character

Yup , where's all the drama for this one resetera

 

[Lumination]

You can't just do that and not bring the theme song, right? ...RIGHT???

Siiick. His expression is too kind though. Want that look of bloodlust at all times.

So hype for how Shang will work this time around in-gameplay

He's joking in that Tweet. The last few NRS games have revealed DLC characters before launch.

The funniest "This is 2019" gif I've ever seen.

 

[CopperPuppy]

This may have got me

This may have done it

NRS is one of the few studios that make their DLC character after the game launches. It seems like Shang Tsung was the first DLC character because he is already in the game as the keeper of the Krypt. Doubt they'll have any gameplay to show of him.

But yes, Noob is a troll and his words don't mean shit, ever lol.

 

[TrojanAg]

That is fucking amazing!

They got me.

 

[DR2K]

So Mileena is most likely DLC

 

[Billfisto]

Boon trolled everyone. When everyone was trying to guess which movie franchise the guest character would be from, I'll bet nobody picked "Mortal Kombat".

Next level stuff.
