On July 23rd, NetherRealm Studios will release the final DLC character for Mortal Kombat 1s Fighter Pack in the form of Takeda Takahashi. Fans of Mortal Kombat X have been excited about Takedas return, as he hasnt been playable since the 2015 fighting games base roster. However, with Mortal Kombat 1 being set in a new universe created by Titan Liu Kang, several characters had their origins and appearance changed, such as Reptile and Scorpion, and Takeda was not withheld from this fate. In this new universe, Takeda is no longer the son of the swordsman Kenshi Takahashi, but is rather his cousin.
