Mortal Kombat 1 recently introduced Ermac as a new DLC character, but potential leaks suggest a gender-swapped version of a classic ninja may be on the horizon. Professional model and fashion designer Jiwon Ra hinted on Instagram that she provided the face model capture for Harumi Hasashi and will be featured in the game as a female version of Scorpion. This new Scorpion Kameo could be part of MK1’s Kombat Pack 2, adding an exciting twist to the game’s character roster.
While details on gameplay and appearance for Harumi Scorpion are still unclear, the concept opens up possibilities for unique movesets and combat styles focusing on swordplay. However, fans should approach this news with caution as it has not been officially confirmed by NetherRealm Studios or Warner Bros. At present, Jiwon Ra’s Instagram post remains the primary source of information, sparking speculation among Mortal Kombat enthusiasts.
If Harumi Scorpion does make an appearance in MK1’s DLC, an official announcement is likely to be delayed until Final Kombat in June or later this Summer. With the success of previous gender-swapped characters like Janet Cage, the addition of Harumi Scorpion could bring a fresh dynamic to the game’s evolving storyline and combat mechanics. Until then, fans can only anticipate what surprises await in the future of Mortal Kombat 1.
