Like the rest of the announced Mortal Kombat 11 DLC combatants, we’re still waiting on just when exactly Todd McFarlane’s iconic character Spawn will be available in the game. In the meantime, IGN managed to score a brief interview with McFarlane to talk about his iconic antihero being in the fighter.
A fan of the franchise, McFarlane talks about his excitement when Ed Boon and company approached him with the offer of including Spawn in Mortal Kombat 11. “I went ‘You can do it, but I sort of only have one condition: This thing needs to be so cool from a Mortal Kombat fan’s point of view, not a Spawn point of view.”
Netherrealm was happy to oblige, and kept McFarlane up to date with Spawn’s design, his dialogue and, of course, his fatalities. The result, according to McFarlane, “[gagged] me”, but there will be “more red than just his cape”.
Mortal Kombat 11 is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
