It\u2019s very nostalgic. You have these helpers, if you will. It\u2019s a blast and we\u2019re really happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This reptilian fighter started out life as a hidden opponent and has since been a regular member of the cast, so it\u2019s not all that surprising to hear he\u2019ll be back in the latest outing. As for if he\u2019ll actually be a playable character, we\u2019ll just have to wait and find out, but it seems likely.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, NetherRealm Community Manager Tyler Lansdown appeared on stage during the big reveal to <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/01\/kombat_kast_for_mortal_kombat_11_takes_place_on_30th_january\">announce<\/a> the first Kombat Kast for MK11. This event will take place on 30th January and is going to be \u201cpretty big\u201d apparently. Kabal was also teased during this announcement, so it\u2019s expected this character and others will be revealed.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ve9k3IiFu88?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Are you glad to hear Reptile is likely returning to the latest Mortal Kombat?
