Shaun Himmerick Talks About The Number Of Costumes In MKX

A couple of days ago on Twitter an enquiring fan asked Netherrealm Studios' Studio Head and Executive Producer for Mortal Kombat X Shaun Himmerick about the number of costumes we'd see in NRS's upcoming iteration of Mortal Kombat. As you can see in the below picture, Shaun answered Twitter user mk10news's question and in turn narrowed the exact number down to a specific range.



As we know, Injustice had a plethora of skins available for multiple but not all characters. Characters like Superman, who had 9 skins, and Batman, who had 8 skins, were given plenty of choice while characters like Killer Frost and Sinestro were left with merely their primary and Regime costumes.
MK9 introduced Klassic Skin packs for several of the more iconic fighters in MK like Scorpion, Sub Zero, Kitana, and Mileena, and compatibility packs also brought more free skins for pairs of fighters: Sektor and Cyrax, Noob and Smoke, Kitana and Jade, and even Sub Zero and Cyber Sub Zero! Unfortunately not all characters saw more costumes though.

What do you think will happen this time around? Will all the characters get their chance to be shrouded in drapery or will some characters again be left to tend to their secondary colours for a differing mien? We've seen that Scorpion will receive a Cold War-inspired look thanks to Coarse and we've seen Reptile's alternate costume so far, but a while back we got to see a bob-haired alternate costume for Cassie and we may possibly have been shown concept art for a D'Vorah alternate in the 'Next' trailer.

Will the classics collect the costumes once more or will they provide the newcomers with some inspired frocks this time around?

DC has an absolute fuckload of potential skins to choose from. MK doesn't, nor does it really need as many. There's no way any MKX characters are gonna have 9 skins or whatever, especially with the variations already having visual changes.
i want red son mk skins across the board!

So...what exactly is this saying? Will there be more costumes per character from the start(3 instead of the initial 2)? Will there be more additional costumes for certain characters which makes the total costume count higher than MK9's?

The answer of "more than MK9" is enough to make me happy. Never expected as many as IGAU, because all the concept work was already in place for most of those costumes.

If every character got 4-5 skins that would be slick. Wishful thinking but slick regardless. As soon as there doesn't end up being like 10 skins for scorpion while some characters are just left with their primary and alternate that will be a set up. I hate the way NRS does skins for their games.
