Mortal Kombat 11 female characters were purposely made less sexual according to NetherRealms.

I really can’t believe this thread has made it to this many comments over women not wearing sexy lingerie in a video game. The dudes are beefy but they’re not in their under wear.

I can 't believe you didn't even bother to read any of the comments and came to that conclusion on your own before you even clicked the thread.

I think I saw classic Sonya costume. But it was so shy to show itself. So afraid of being exposed.

Maybe you can pull a costume like that but only through god-knows how many levels of customization.
How in the hell did they make Sonya look Worse then her Live Action self?

That's a real person and the CGI doesn't do her justice. Hell This Guy was able to nail both MK1 and MK3 Sonya in CGI and have them still be sexy yet remaining tasteful. He perfectly captures Elizabeth Malecki and Kerry Hoskins versions of Sonya Blade.

NRS should hire this guy asap. it's a tragedy when fans/artists know and respect the source material more than the people of the company which created it. and it happens often nowadays. Pull a Sega and hire this dudes, you idiots (NRS)

Not realistic. Lacks camel toe.

Lose the shoulderpads and the weird underboob-thingy and it would be a pretty decent design. NRS LOVES its layered metal-stuff... so silly :D
That thing would pinch. I could see if there main costume was armored since they are basically in a war rather then a Tournament but Why not give some fan service in the second or third costume choices? Something that's more casual or Tournament styled. Hell just some of the older costumes would be great cause....

Would.

It's just stupid looking to me. Like this is the outfit a stripper would wear to look like the "sexy" version of Mileena. If this was an extra skin or something it'd be fine, but for the official costume, it's just ridiculous.

Hate to belabor the obvious, but Mileena is already the stripper version of Mileena.

I thought this one was optional? Besides, the character herself is both deranged and provocative, it fits with Mileena.

For a series whose mechanics have been clunky and shallow compared to peers since the very start of the franchise, relying almost entirely on visual glitz and eye-catching design choices, it seems very stupid to intentionally dull your own eye-candy.

Or at least the female eye-candy. Males still seem hyper-sexualized (using the same standards applied to the fictional women in the game).

That’s because guys don’t induce vomiting just to go down a dress size

I usually think to myself, could I play this in front of my wife and not look like a creepy pervert? If the answer is no, then I usually don't buy the game.
My wife already thinks video games are too violent and she doesn't like them anyway

Many of the MK1/2 stunters sued Midway for use of their image after they were ported to consoles. They all lost their cases.

Who knew MK would be leading the FGC charge against bulimia? I love this idea that Mortal Fucking Kombat is aiming to right society's wrongs by putting some digital fabric on your blood soaked toy dolls.

It pains me to see what they've done to Sonya

It's going to be a bit tough to not cave and get this, there is a ton of FGC hype for it and it's going to be a big player for a couple years at the very least. But between SFV and Samsho, and whatever else comes out this year, I have enough fighting game content to last me until next gen. I'll keep supporting the devs that not only make what they want, but also try to satisfy the longtime fans of their games.

What’s the likelihood that they’ll sell the costumes as fan service dlc later?


They already said they would not do it.

NetherRealm has confirmed that there will be no sexy, scantily-clad items for the females in Mortal Kombat 11. The female characters were purposefully de-sexualized, according to NetherRealm Studios.
