With the recent release of the long-awaitedSpawn DLC,Mortal Kombat 11is rumored to be announcing its second Kombat Pack soon. Nothing official has been announced, but dataminers have been digging through the game’s latest update, fueling rumors about which characters could be included in the second Kombat Pack.
Since the firstMortal Kombat 11Kombat Pack featured multiple guest characters in the form of The Terminator, The Joker, and Spawn, it’s assumed that Kombat Pack 2 will have some guest characters as well. The latest rumor is that one such guest character will be none other than RoboCop. It’s unclear exactly how this rumor started, but a new discovery in theMK11update files has added fuel to the fire.

A character named as “ROB” in theMortal Kombat 11files has been discovered, listed right before otherrumored DLC character Sheeva.Mortal Kombat 11game files reference characters by the first three letters of their name, and so it could very well be short for RoboCop, especially as there are no originalMortal Kombatcharacters that fit the bill.
Of course, it’s entirely possible that theMortal Kombat 11developers are using “ROB” to just be short for “robot.” For example,Cyrax and Sektorare both cyborgs that appear in theMortal Kombat 11story but aren’t playable in the game itself, so it’s possible Kombat Pack 2 will make them playable and “ROB” references one of them.
It should be stressed that all of this is just speculation at this time. There is no concrete evidence of RoboCop coming toMortal Kombat 11like there is forAsh Williams fromArmy of Darkness, and NetherRealm has not even confirmed that Kombat Pack 2 exists at all. Considering this,Mortal Kombat 11fans should certainly keep their expectations in check, as it’s quite possible that RoboCop is not coming to the game.
Even ifRoboCopisn’t coming toMortal Kombat 11, though, fans can still expect NetherRealm to release more content for the popular fighting game.Mortal Kombat 11game director Ed Boon has already teased that there are more surprises in store forMK 11, and while that could mean almost anything, it seems likely that he’s referring to new characters. More should be revealed in the coming months.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
