When it comes to Rain, his history in the Mortal Kombat series has been a bit of a rollercoaster. On the other hand, a recent Mortal Kombat 1 roster leak did hint at Reptile being a part of the game's lineup, lending some credibility to the speculation. His references could potentially be false leads, leading fans down a path of wishful thinking. However, while these tweets point towards the potential returns of Rain and Reptile, Boon is known for teasing and trolling his audience on Twitter, often regarding high-demand characters. Known for his acid-spit ability, which can melt faces quite literally, Reptile's re-entry into the Mortal Kombat universe seems a logical step. Given the context – a reply to Boon's tweet about a gameplay trailer with MAIN & KAMEO fighter reveals – it makes a lot of sense for fans to latch onto this statement as a hint towards Reptile's return. On the other side of the coin, Cory Taylor, responded to a Mortal Kombat 1 tweet saying: “…and it’s gonna melt faces.” The fact that this tweet preceded the announcement of a Kombat Kast and character reveal only served to fuel speculation. Rain, the character, was created as a nod to Prince – from a name that's an homage to the hit song "Purple Rain," to his color scheme echoing Prince's fondness for purple. Fans of Prince, the late music icon, would recognize "Vicki Waiting" as one of his iconic songs, and that connection could be the secret key. It’s Vicky calling…” This statement quickly turned into a potential clue for Rain. It's Vicky calling.īoon dropped a tantalizing hint on Twitter, stating: “…the phone rings. The source of the said rumors? Cryptic tweets from Ed Boon, the creative director, and Cory Taylor, the community manager for Warner Bros. While the confirmed roster already boasts well-loved figures like Kitana, Kenshi, Scorpion, Mileena, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, and others, it's the potential return of Reptile and Rain that's got the fans talking. But there's something electrifying in the air, a whisper that carries the names of two cherished characters: Reptile and Edenian Prince Rain.
