Mortal Kombat 1 might be getting Scream franchise antagonist – and serial stabber of teenagers – Ghostface as a downloadable character.
The franchise has featured multiple horror movie villains as guest fighters before, with series boss Ed Boon teasing the possibility of more.
In a post on X/Twitter, the series' co-creator posted a piece of artwork featuring The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Kreuger, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees, Halloween's Michael Myers, Hellraiser's Pinhead, Child's Play's Chucky, Ghostface, and the Saw franchise's Jigsaw.

Leatherface, Freddy and Jason have ticks above their heads, signifying their appearances in Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 2011. The rest of the characters have question marks above their heads.
What makes people think that Ghostface in particular is coming is actually evidence seemingly discovered by dataminers, who found voice lines hidden in the game's files that point at Ghostface's inclusion, alongside He-Man and Conan the Barbarian and various classic Mortal Kombat fighters.
While Mortal Kombat 1, a soft reboot of the long-running series, has been a success critically and commercially on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, the same can't be said for the Nintendo Switch version, which has been lambasted for poor performance and low fidelity graphics, despite costing the same as other versions.

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Boon said the Switch version will "absolutely be getting an update, and a number of the the concerns of the issues that had come up will absolutely be addressed.
"It would have been ideal for us to have released the version that we absolutely wanted. But anything that we're finding a problem with is on our list and is going to be fixed."
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now.
