Reptile - Accidentally confirmed in Mortal Kombat 11 | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Reptile – Accidentally confirmed in Mortal Kombat 11](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/mortal-kombat-11-old-vs-new-skool-trailer-released.jpg "Reptile – Accidentally confirmed in Mortal Kombat 11")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/mortal-kombat-11-old-vs-new-skool-trailer-released.jpg)In an interview with **Dualshockers**, the art director of Mortal Kombat 11 by mistake confirmed that the classic character Reptile will be making a return in the new game!

## [](#well-surprise)Well surprise?

Surprise? Not really right?

But the developer by mistake mentions this when saying

> Then there’s certain things like you can activate Reptile’s Acid Ball. It’s very nostalgic. You have these helpers, if you will. It’s a blast and we’re really happy about that.

Reptile was a playable in the last game installment which was Mortal Kombat X back in 2015 but it is still great to know that such a long time character will be returning!

**But playable?**

However this necessarily does not confirm that Reptile will be returning in to the game as he could be just be his attack returning for a different character so do not get your hopes up just yet.
