Kano Confirmed for Mortal Kombat 11

By Colin Stevens

Kano, the infamous mercenary with a cybernetic laser eye, is officially coming to Mortal Kombat 11.

Revealed on Twitter, Kano is shown as shirtless (as per usual) and is brandishing his knife. Kano’s appearance doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as he’s one of the franchise’s original fighters and also appeared in Mortal Kombat X.

Often positioned as an antagonist to Sonya Blade and Jax Briggs of the Special Forces, Kano has consistently acted as a sadistic criminal and member of the Black Dragon crime organization.
