Mortal Kombat 1 has already featured its fair share of high-profile crossovers with the likes of Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and the upcoming inclusion of Homelander. But Mortal Kombat 1 still has plenty of room to add more and the game's creator, Ed Boon, has been teasing a variety of potential new characters that may be part of Mortal Kombat 1's future plans.

Recently, Ed Boon has been hosting a variety of polls on his official Twitter account that are asking for fan feedback on what characters should come to Mortal Kombat 1 next. That said, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees has stuck out among these teases due to Ed Boon not only featuring him in a poll but also hyping up his inclusion in MultiVersus.

Ed Boon Teasing Jason Voorhees in Mortal Kombat 1

As one of the most iconic faces, or masks, in the horror genre, Jason Voorhees is already part of the Mortal Kombat franchise. His first and only appearance in the long-running fighting series was in Mortal Kombat X as a DLC character, but there is a very real possibility that he or other classic slashers could return.

Ed Boon Asks Fans Which Characters Should Return

On May 14, Boon went to Twitter to ask fans who they thought should return to the Mortal Kombat franchise. The poll offered three options, with each option containing three characters that could possibly be featured in Mortal Kombat 1:

  • Freddy, Kratos, and Leatherface
  • Alien, Predator, and Jason
  • Terminator, Rambo, and RoboCop

Although all the options offered would be great to see again, Alien, Predator, and Jason were the winners among fans who participated in the poll. With the game's first DLC Kombat Pack nearing completion, it only makes sense that a second one could already be in the works, and based on the feedback of this poll, it could lead Jason back to the brutal world of Mortal Kombat.

At the time of this writing, there is no official confirmation that Jason Voorhees will be coming to Mortal Kombat 1 ; plus, Ed Boon has made similar remarks before and nothing suggests that any posts on social media will lead to anything at all.

Paying Special Attention to Jason Voorhees

Not only has Ed Boon been offering polls for fan feedback, but he's also been really focused on Jason Voorhees in general. It's now been revealed that Jason Voorhees is in MultiVersus, the brawler title based on Warner Bros. properties, and Ed Boon has clearly been quite excited about the inclusion of the character. Once again, on Twitter, he mentioned that those who miss playing as Jason in Mortal Kombat X can at least play as him in MultiVersus.

This could easily just be the enthusiasm of someone who is a huge fan of the character, but the constant attention Boon is giving to Jason could be hinting at something bigger. MultiVersus and Mortal Kombat don't have much in common, especially when it comes to the violence, which will make it interesting to see Jason in a cartoonish setting.

However, with both games being owned by Warner Bros., it isn't too far out of the realm of possibility for Mortal Kombat 1 to bring back Jason, in addition to him being in MultiVersus. Jason was incredibly fun to play in Mortal Kombat X, so hopefully Ed Boon's excitement regarding the character is hinting at something more.
