Sadly, during NetherRealm's third Mortal Kombat X "Kombat Kast" livestream this afternoon, it was revealed that Jade will not be joining the fray. Considering it seems like a new character is revealed every week these days, her absence does come as a bit of a shock. Thankfully, however, Jade's spirit will live on through Kitana who will be utilizing many of her most famous moves.

It's promised that players who got well-versed with Jade in MK9 will find Kitana an easy transition.
