This is far from the first time that Ed Boon has highlighted a cosplay of one of the characters from the long-running Mortal Kombat franchise, as he once shared an image of a fan dressed as the resurrected Zombie Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat Deception. Boon has also engaged online fans with playful clues about the next Mortal Kombat 11 guest character or NetherRealm project over the years, and he has most recently hinted that the often-speculated Mortal Kombat 12 could already be in development.

As the gaming world waits anxiously for the announcement of the next Mortal Kombat, some are ing the time by cosplaying as their favorite warriors from the legendary and at times controversial fighting series. Danny Bortfeld is one such fan, showing off his ion for Mortal Kombat by deftly recreating the introductory animations for some of MK11’s most popular Kombatants. The fact that he bears a perfect resemblance to Mortal Kombat's Johnny Cage strengthens his performance as the cocky action star-turned-defender of Earthrealm, so much so that he performs two of Cage’s animations in his latest cosplay video.

Danny Bortfeld’s impressive cosplays and spot-on reenactments of the Mortal Kombat 11 character select animations are already impressive enough, and catching the eye of Ed Boon himself is a fitting reward for his hard work. It might still be a while before fans can take each other on in the next Mortal Kombat game, but the franchise’s devoted fanbase is making that wait easier by showing off their breathtaking renditions of classic Mortal Kombat warriors.
