Who is Ghostface in MK1? Horror slasher identity revealed

BBG News

As a long-time fan of both horror films and Mortal Kombat, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the introduction of Ghostface into MK1! The intricate details behind each character’s identity are what make this game so fascinating to me. It’s like solving a real-life mystery!

Here is the identity of Ghostface in MK1!

In the renowned Mortal Kombat game, the enigmatic character Ghostface from the Scream movie series has made its highly anticipated first appearance (MK1). The choice of “their” instead of a singular pronoun reflects the series’ familiarity with Ghostface being multiple individuals. Across six films, various characters have assumed the famous mask and robe, complete with a voice modifier, hunting knife, and additional weapons. With Ghostface now part of the MK1 lineup, many fans are left guessing who is hidden beneath the mask. Here’s the answer to that question.

Billy Loomis is the primary Ghostface in MK1

In the initial Scream movie, Skeet Ulrich’s character Billy Loomis was the main Ghostface figure, but he wasn’t working alone; Stu Macher, played by Matthew Lillard, formed part of the sinister duo. Interestingly, in Mortal Kombat 1, it is Billy Loomis who takes on the masked persona.

In the process of creating Ghostface, NetherRealm Studios collaborated with Skeet Ulrich for motion capture sessions. They also used his facial features to design special moves such as Fatal Blows, Fatalities, and Brutalities. However, Matthew Lillard’s likeness is not featured in the game; instead, one of Ghostface’s dialogue lines references his character.

To clarify, Billy Loomis is just one of the three characters portraying Ghostface in Movie Killer 1. The other two are a duo of characters from the 3D era of Mortal Kombat.

Kobra and Kira round out of the Ghostface trio

The developers cleverly employed a complex horror-themed character, Ghostface, to resurrect two previously underused Mortal Kombat characters: Kobra and Kira. During a recent Ghostface Kombat Kast, Stephanie Brownback, head of quality assurance at NetherRealm Studios, disclosed that Billy Loomis had enlisted two Black Dragon members into his cult for MK1. Often referred to as the enforcer and assassin, it didn’t take long to identify this duo.

In a different wording, during gameplay as Ghostface, players can alternate between the standard mode and specialized roles called enforcer and assassin. Notably, when assuming the roles of enforcer or assassin, Ghostface executes moves similar to those performed by Kobra and Kira from Mortal Kombat: Deception. Any uncertainty about the character’s identity in the original Mortal Kombat would be alleviated upon discovery of in-game files by data miner thethiny that directly reference Kobra and Kira, members of the Black Dragon group.

In MK1, the enigma behind Ghostface is finally unveiled, even though neither Kobra nor Kira are shown without their masks. However, it’s their unique moves that take center stage. Additionally, you can mimic Ghostface’s moves by using the Shunjinko Kameo and donning a replica of the famous mask.
