Mortal Kombat 1 Fans Think They've Figured Out Ghostface's Identity

Key Takeaways

  • Three Ghostface killers are coming to Mortal Kombat 1, and some fans think they know the identities of two of these fighters.
  • The Enforcer and The Assassin are speculated to be Kobra and Kira based on their moves.
  • This has yet to be officially confirmed, and fans may have to wait until November 19 to discover the identities of the killers.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Mortal Kombat battles under my belt, I must say that the latest speculation surrounding the Ghostface killers in Mortal Kombat 1 has me intrigued. The theories about Kobra and Kira being the Enforcer and Assassin, respectively, are quite compelling, given their past movesets. If true, it would be a delightful nod to the game’s history and a breath of fresh air in the current roster.

In the upcoming game Mortal Kombat 1, it’s expected that Ghostface will make an appearance; some enthusiasts believe they’ve identified the culprit(s) as two lesser-known characters from previous games in the series. Many Mortal Kombat games have featured guest fighters, and Ghostface from the Scream series is set to join their ranks on November 19. As any fan of the Scream movies knows, one of the chills that comes with Ghostface is the idea that anyone could be hiding beneath the distinctive Fun World “Peanut-Eyed Ghost” mask, and often there are multiple Ghostfaces operating at once.

This week’s Kombat Kast broadcast provided insights into the character of Ghostface in Mortal Kombat 1, which was revealed to have three killers, similar to last year’s Scream 6. One is identified as “the original Ghostface,” likely either Billy Loomis or Stu Macher from the first Scream movie. NetherRealm also disclosed that the other two are Black Dragon clan members enlisted to aid Ghostface in his current spree of violence. As of now, these two characters go by The Enforcer and The Assassin titles, and players can alternate between them during specific attacks.

This still doesn’t answer the question of who exactly is behind the iconic Ghostface mask in Mortal Kombat 1, but longtime fans have already worked out a pretty good guess as to who The Enforcer and Assassin are based on the moves they perform in the recent Mortal Kombat 1 Ghostface gameplay trailer. As pointed out by Reddit user plastic-person180 on r/MortalKombat, The Enforcer (who wields a flat knife) is seen pulling off a flaming backflip kick that was previously used by Kobra, while The Assassin (who holds a curved knife) strikes with an upward slash like Kira.

Fans Think Mortal Kombat 1’s Ghostfaces Are Kobra and Kira

Back in Mortal Kombat: Deception, I was initially introduced as a Black Dragon member, enlisted by Kabal with the mission to stir chaos using my ruthless street fighting abilities. Simultaneously, Kira made her debut in the same game, showcasing a more composed attitude compared to my aggressive self. Since then, neither of us assassins-for-hire have graced the mainline Mortal Kombat games, with most fans assuming we’d stay out of the rebooted timeline of Mortal Kombat 1. But surprise! Here we are now.

Kobra and Kira are potentially suitable candidates to play the part of Ghostface, given their tendency towards sadism. If these killers were previously characters from Mortal Kombat, it would make sense as to how Ghostface, who is usually mortal, can withstand the powerful martial artists, ninja warriors, and deities of Mortal Kombat 1. However, it’s likely that the real identity of Ghostface won’t be unveiled until the Arcade mode ending. Players will have to wait until November 19 to discover this for themselves.
