Everyone was expecting Ash Williams, who I wouldn\u2019t completely rule out. Rambo\u2019s voiced by good old Sylvester Stallone himself, who I hope got a pretty penny to shout down a mic for a few hours. He looks pretty awesome, not going to lie.&nbsp;I\u2019m not sure how I feel about watching Rambo get sliced and diced by the other characters \u2014 I prefer watching him do the killing, personally. But still, I\u2019m not going to say no to giving Stallone some work. Just to recap, he\u2019s now joined the likes of Terminator, Robocop, and Spawn as guest fighters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.1615384615385\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFor the last time, Mileena is NOT koming to MK11\u201d<br \/>\u2013 Ed Boon<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uhupzSfejO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/uhupzSfejO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ed Boon (@noobde) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noobde\/status\/1314192519895293952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">October 8, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On any other day, Rambo would be the headliner, and he probably still is to most, but he\u2019s being somewhat overshadowed right now by another character with whom he shares a trailer. It\u2019s Mileena fans have been dying to see \u2014 or at least, a particular stripe of fan has. They\u2019ve been asking for her very publicly and persistently since the game was released 18 moths ago. Series creator Ed Boon could probably have tweeted the sonogram of his unborn child and Mileena fans would have flooded the responses with pleas for him to put her in the game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.1724137931034\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MILEENA IS BACK AND I&#8217;M STILL CRYING OVER HERE <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/L1aNC1kJe3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/L1aNC1kJe3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LOSTyGIRL (@LOSTyGIRL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LOSTyGIRL\/status\/1314206980639059969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">October 8, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying she was put in the game for that reason \u2014 she\u2019s a kharacter of long-standing who has ties to the likes of Shao Kahn, Kitana, Sindel, Kotal Kahn, and D\u2019Vorah, so her inclusion is natural. That said, you\u2019d be forgiven for thinking Boon and NetherRealm just did it to appease fans.<\/p>\n<p>But enough about Mileena \u2014 the biggest news in the announcement is that NetherRealm is releasing&nbsp;<em>Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate Edition<\/em>, and every player who\u2019s playing on a current-generation console will get a free upgrade to the next-gen consoles coming out in November.
