Mortal Kombat 11studio NetherRealm Studios is owned by Warner Bros., which also happens to own DC Entertainment. This is why theInjusticegames came to be, and whyMortal Kombatgames tend to have DC Comics guest characters.Mortal Kombat 11’s DC Comics guest character is none other than The Joker, though he won’t be added to the popular fighting game until June 08, 2025. But whileMortal Kombat 11fans still have a few months before they can play as Joker, they can whet their appetite with the new Cassie Cage Harley Quinn skin that’s coming to the game as early as next week.
The Cassie Cage Harley Quinn skin is coming toMortal Kombat 11alongside theTerminator DLC. It doesn’t appear as though new voice lines were recorded to match the skin, but visually-speaking, it seems to be a rather faithful recreation of the popular character. Cassie Cage’s drone is even getting a makeover as part of the skin that makes it look much more in line with Quinn’s unique style.

The officialMortal Kombat 11Twitter page released the first footage of the Cassie Cage Harley Quinn skin, showing her go toe-to-toe with The Terminator. The Terminator won’t actually be in the game as a playable character until October 8, at which point he will become available toKombat Packowners. Everyone else will have to wait until October 15 to play as The Terminator. It’s assumed that the Cassie Cage Harley Quinn skin will also be added toMortal Kombat 11on October 8.
It’s quite likely that the Cassie Cage Harley Quinn skin is being added as a way to promote the upcomingBirds of Preyfilm. Set in the DC Extended Universe, theBirds of Preyfilm seems to focus almost entirely on Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, who was undoubtedly the breakout star from theSuicide Squadmovie. The movie doesn’t hit theaters until February 7, but anew trailer forBirds of Preydid drop today, around the same time as the Cassie Cage skin was unveiled.
New character skins are great, but someMortal Kombat 11fans will be more interested in full-fledged new characters. Luckily, The Terminator’s release is just a week away, and then Sindel is coming on November 26. After that, fans can look forward toJoker on January 28, and Spawn on March 17. NetherRealm hasn’t revealed yet if it’s going to release a Kombat Pack 2, but rumors and leaks point to that being a highly likely possibility.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
