The new Skarlet skin bundle is being referred to as a sort of Klassic pack by Mortal Kombat 11 players. The skins included in the bundle do seem to hearken back to the original Skarlet in Mortal Kombat 9. However, Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 9 embrace vastly different design sensibilities. To put that more clearly, Mortal Kombat 9 was much more fan-servicey when it comes to women fighters’ costumes. The new Mortal Kombat 11 Skarlet skins have a classic sensibility, but avoid going full fan-service.

What makes the new Mortal Kombat 11 Skarlet skins classic is the mask. It covers the her face from the nose down and closely resembles the ninja-style masks from previous games. The rest of her outfit consists of a one-piece body suit with no legs, elbow-length gloves, and knee-high boots. The two skins are different in that one is mostly blood red with black accents and the other is mostly black with red accents.
Overall, the two skins are surprisingly simple. They do hearken back to the original Mortal Kombat games and their very basic-looking ninjas, though. Perhaps that’s what NetherRealm was going for with the design of Skarlet’s new skins. Or perhaps NetherRealm just wanted to offer another basic alternative for Mortal Kombat 11 players who aren’t a fan of Skarlet’s base outfit. It does have a lot going on.
As for Skarlet’s new Victory outro, it’s a simple but interesting animation. It’s titled Blood Burst and features Skarlet summoning an orb of blood above her hand. She then slashes the blood orb with her dagger after doing a spin, causing the blood to explode outward in slow motion. Blood Burst is as interesting as Skarlet’s other Victory outros like Red Rain, her blood scythe animations Bleeding Edge and Krimson Reaper. If only there was a new fatality, too.
For Skarlet mains in Mortal Kombat 11 looking to change things up, the new Skarlet Bundle is available now.
Mortal Kombat 11 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
