An image has been tweeted by Ed Boon, the series creator, teasing fans about some additional characters in the Mortal Kombat X launch.

"Looks like one of the boots that were made for walkin' was Quan Chi's. #MKX," according to the tweet.

Sub Zero, Scorpion, Kano and Raiden has been confirmed to return in the roster of returning characters.

Quan Chi, is an addition to the roster. The Dark sorcerer's return was established last week. It would also seem that there are additional five more characters as implicated by Boon's tweet with question marks.

Quan Chi had been the creature of Netherrealm and is speculated that the villain will play a major part in Mortal Kombat X gameplay. He made his debut in 'Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm' which is an animated TV show.

According to BreatheCast, Quan Chi will have three slight power variations.

Quan Chi's power seems to be great as he can boost his own power by using spells and can damage opponents. He can also summon a giant bat from Netherrealm to create catastrophe. But his formidable power comes by becoming a warlock that can open "interdimensional dark portals".

Because Quan Chi's powers can be used to open dark portals, it has been said that this is one of one of the most horrific takes the developers did for the upcoming Mortal Kombat X. With this, fans are in the lookout to using Quan Chi.

Published by WB Games and developed by Netherrealm, Mortal Kombat X release date would be on April 14, 2015. This will be available for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
