Drahmin, who first appeared inMortal Kombat: Deadly Alliancein 2002, could become the Mileena-equivalent for the upcomingMortal Kombat 1.Mortal Kombat 1was recently confirmed with a handful of familiar faces making their way to its roster. With the game due out in September, fighting game fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to get the full picture when it comes to theMortal Kombat 1roster.
TheMortal Kombat 1rostershould be made up mostly of characters that fans remember from previousMortal Kombatgames, but there will likely be some newcomers as well. There are many possibilities when it comes to returning characters for theMortal Kombat 1roster, but one character fans shouldn’t expect to see as a playable fighter isMortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance’s Drahmin.

Mortal Kombatcreator Ed Boon was asked if Drahmin would return, to which he responded, “As a main fighter. Not likely.” This means fans shouldn’t expect to see Drahmin as on theMortal Kombat 1roster, though it does leave the door open for the character to be featured as a Kameo Fighter. Time will tell if Drahmin makes the Kameo Fighter cut, but it will be interesting to see if he eventually becomes theMortal Kombat 1equivalent ofMortal Kombat 11’s Mileena.
Will Drahmin Be in Mortal Kombat 1?
As someMortal Kombatfans may recall, Mileena was controversially left off theMortal Kombat 11roster. This caused an uproar in the community, with NetherRealm finallyadding Mileena to the game as DLC. Fans are rallying behind Drahmin now as well, though it seems to be in a more joking manner. There are those who genuinely seem to be interested in Drahmin appearing inMortal Kombat 1, whereas there are many others who just making memes about the character.
The Drahmin memes and jokes may manifest into some legitimate demand for the character to appear inMortal Kombat 1. However, even if a fan campaign for Drahmin materializes,Mortal Kombatfans shouldn’t hold their breath.Drahmin is not nearly as popularas Mileena and there seems to be general disinterest in the character on the part of NetherRealm, as he hasn’t been used in years.
It’s always possible NetherRealm will eventually add Drahmin to the game as DLC, but the contents of thefirstMortal Kombat 1Kombat Pack have already leaked online, with Drahmin nowhere to be found. If the game is successful, it stands to reason that NetherRealm will release another Kombat Pack, but again, it would be surprising to see Drahmin included as anything more than a Kameo Fighter.
Mortal Kombat 1launches September 19 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
