Martial arts action star
Jean-Claude Van Damme is going to make an appearance in the upcoming
Mortal Kombat 1 in the form of a character skin for
Johnny Cage. The game's first
DLC Kombat Pack will include the skin along with six playable kombatants and five Kameo (assist) fighters.


According to
Mortal Kombat co-creators
Ed Boon and
John Tobias, publisher
Midway originally wanted
Van Damme to be in the original
Mortal Kombat in
1992, but it just never panned out. The planned character would eventually become
Johnny Cage in the series. Martial Artist
Daniel Pesina would portray the character in the first two games instead.
Mortal Kombat 1 is scheduled to release this
September, with the
Kombat Pack available at launch.
